Dr Ashton Wilson is an Osteopath, strength and rehabilitation coach, educator, and the founder of Alpha Sports Medicine. With over 10 years of clinical experience, Ashton has built a reputation for working with complex musculoskeletal presentations, athletes, and individuals with connective tissue disorders, particularly Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). Ashton is listed on the Ehlers Danlos Society directory of knowledgeable practitioners. Ashton also represents the mental health charity PukaUp and provides Movement workshops for corporate businesses.

Based in Newport, Victoria, Ashton works with patients across Melbourne’s inner west — including Newport, Williamstown, Yarraville, Altona, Spotswood, Seddon, Footscray and West Footscray — and also supports clients and practitioners online both nationally and internationally.

Education & Professional Foundations

Ashton began her academic journey with a Bachelor of Biomedical Science, majoring in Anatomy and Physiology, which provided a strong foundation in human structure, function, and systems-based thinking. Wanting a more hands-on and patient-focused career, she transitioned into osteopathy, completing a Bachelor of Clinical Science followed by a Master of Osteopathy.

Her commitment to ongoing education has been central to her professional development. Ashton has since undertaken extensive post-graduate training and is also a qualified Strength and Conditioning Coach and Kinetic Link Trainer, allowing her to bridge the gap between manual therapy and active rehabilitation.

This diverse educational background underpins her ability to assess the body holistically — considering biomechanics, load tolerance, nervous system function, lifestyle factors, and long-term physical capacity rather than isolated symptoms alone.

Her approach blends evidence-based osteopathic care, progressive strength and rehabilitation, nervous system awareness, and education-driven treatment, with the goal of empowering people to better understand their bodies and move with confidence.

Athletic Background & Passion for Sport

Ashton’s passion for sport and movement began early. She was a professional swimmer from the age of 13, competing at both state and national levels. Over the years, she has been involved in a wide range of sports including netball, soccer, tennis, golf, CrossFit, touch rugby, flag football and distance running.

This lived experience as an athlete deeply informs her clinical practice. She understands the physical and psychological demands of training, competition, injury, and rehabilitation — and the frustration that can come with time away from sport.

Her strong interest in rehabilitation and strength training, particularly for individuals from sporting backgrounds, allows her to tailor care that not only addresses pain but supports long-term performance, injury prevention, and resilience.

A Decade Working in High-Level & Professional Sport

Dr Ashton Wilson has worked extensively in high-level and professional sport, providing osteopathic care, injury management, rehabilitation, and game-day support. She has held roles with a number of elite sporting organisations, including:

• Southport Sharks Football Club
• Burleigh Bears Rugby League Club
• Williamstown Football Club
• Collingwood Football Club
• Victorian Thunderbolts Rugby League Academy

In these environments, Ashton worked closely with athletes, coaches, strength staff and medical teams, managing acute injuries, chronic conditions, return-to-play programs, and injury prevention strategies. She is also a qualified Sports Trainer, allowing her to provide hands-on support in high-pressure sporting contexts.

This experience has shaped her clinical reasoning and reinforced the importance of individualised care, load management, and progressive rehabilitation — principles she applies equally to elite athletes and everyday patients.

Founder of Alpha Sports Medicine

Ashton founded Alpha Sports Medicine with a clear vision: to create a clinic that embraces complexity, collaboration, and evidence-based care.

Alpha Sports Medicine was built to address gaps Ashton observed in the healthcare system, particularly for patients with persistent pain, hypermobility, and conditions that don’t respond to standard treatment models. The clinic focuses on:

• Integrated, multidisciplinary care
• Long-term outcomes rather than quick fixes
• Patient education and empowerment
• Ethical, sustainable practice
• Respect for lived experience

As director, Ashton leads by example, ensuring the clinic maintains high clinical standards while remaining approachable, inclusive, and supportive.

In-Clinic in Newport & Online Care

Dr Ashton Wilson provides care in-clinic in Newport and services the surrounding suburbs of Williamstown, Yarraville, Altona, Spotswood, Footscray and West Footscray. She also offers online consultations and coaching, supporting patients and practitioners who may not have access to specialised care locally.

This hybrid model ensures accessibility for people managing fatigue, chronic illness, travel limitations, or busy schedules.

Life Outside the Clinic

Outside of work, Ashton enjoys running, hiking, supporting her beloved Melbourne Storm and North Melbourne Football Club, travelling, boardgames with friends, and training in the gym. She has a passion for learning, so when she’s not working, she’s usually learning something about hypermobility, through books, podcasts and research papers.
