Aberfeldie, Meet Your Recovery Room
For the legs that ran the Maribyrnong trail this morning — and everything else.
Aberfeldie has one of the best stretches of the Maribyrnong River trail running along its western edge, and we see a steady flow of clients who'd been pushing through tight calves, IT bands and lower-back stiffness after a few too many morning runs. We're a 3-kilometre drive north-east, just up Buckley Street and across to Eddy Street in Moonee Ponds.
eWellbeing isn't a generic spa setup. Our therapists blend traditional Chinese acupressure with Western remedial massage, which works well for the kinds of bodies Aberfeldie tends to send us — river-trail walkers and runners with overworked legs, established homeowners managing garden-bed back pain, families navigating the rhythms of Aberfeldie Park weekends.
The clinic is at Shop 2/8 Eddy Street, a short walk from Moonee Ponds station and the Puckle Street shops. We're open seven days, so an evening session after the kids' sport or a quiet Sunday recovery slot is usually findable.

Recovery work that actually addresses the issue
If you run or cycle the Maribyrnong trail regularly, the usual suspects are tight calves, hamstrings, glutes and lower back. Our remedial therapists work through these systematically, with acupressure release on the deeper lines and stretches you can take home. Better than a one-size-fits-all rub-down.
Five minutes up Buckley Street
From Aberfeldie Park or anywhere along the Essendon West side, it's a 5 to 8 minute drive — straight up Buckley Street, right onto Mt Alexander, and you're in Moonee Ponds. Side street parking near Eddy Street is usually easy to find outside the Saturday market rush.
Seven-day roster, evening slots
We know weekends are when most active locals actually have time to recover. We're open seven days a week with evening appointments through the working week, so you don't have to choose between rest and the rest of your life.
Aberfeldie to Eddy Street
Driving is the easiest route from Aberfeldie. From around Aberfeldie Park, head up Buckley Street, right onto Mt Alexander Road, and you're on Eddy Street within 5 to 8 minutes. Free street parking is usually available on Eddy Street and the surrounding side streets — easier outside Saturday morning when the Puckle Street market draws a crowd.
If you're already out walking the Maribyrnong trail, the cycle or e-scooter route through to Moonee Ponds via the back streets is a pleasant 15 minutes. By public transport, the 82 tram links into the broader network if you prefer not to drive.
Same-day bookings are often possible — call (03) 9317 5656 or book online to lock something in.

Common questions from Aberfeldie clients
I run along the Maribyrnong River trail most mornings — what would you recommend?
For regular trail runners we usually suggest a 60-minute remedial session focused on the legs, glutes and lower back, with acupressure release on the IT band and calf meridians. A monthly maintenance booking works for most. If you've ramped up training or pushed a longer distance, mention it when you book and we'll target the session accordingly — sciatic-style pain or persistent shin tightness both have specific approaches.
How long does it take to drive from Aberfeldie to your clinic?
Around 5 to 8 minutes outside peak. The simplest route is up Buckley Street, then right onto Mt Alexander Road and across to Eddy Street. From the western end of Aberfeldie near the river it's slightly longer — closer to 10 minutes. Avoid Saturday morning between 9 and 11am if you can, as Puckle Street market traffic backs things up.
Do you treat sports injuries or just relaxation massage?
Both, but we lean toward therapeutic work. Our remedial therapists handle the typical Aberfeldie load: runner's knee referral pain, tight ITB, calf strains, lower-back issues from cycling posture, and overuse shoulders. We're not a replacement for a sports physio if you've got an acute injury, but we work well alongside one for ongoing maintenance and soft-tissue recovery.
Where can I park if I drive in from Aberfeldie?
Free street parking on Eddy Street itself, or in the side streets running off Hall Street and Margaret Street. We're a few minutes' walk from the busiest part of Puckle Street, so parking pressure drops off quickly once you're a block off the main strip. Saturday mornings during the market are the trickiest — give yourself an extra five minutes.
