Our Story
Stable began close to our home in St. Kilda, and has now expanded to six locations across inner Melbourne (St Kilda, Fitzroy, CBD, Prahran, Hampton and Travancore). At each Stable clinic you will find a team of knowledgeable, strong and diligent therapists who specialise in deep tissue remedial massage, myotherapy and sports massage.
We also offer dry needling and pregnancy massage.
Our clinics are open 7 days a week, and our reception team are happy to take bookings over the phone. For late night or early morning bookings feel free to jump into our online booking system.
Our Founder
Hi I’m Zoe, mother of three and avid tennis player. I started Stable Massage in 1998 as a qualified massage therapist. At the time I was focusing on providing strong deep tissue massage to highly active and hard working clients. The treatments helped with pain reduction, reduced stiffness and aches, and increased range of movement – supporting clients to relax, recover and perform at their optimal ability.
My husband and I realised that the majority of health clinics focused primarily on relaxation massage and were not providing the benefits of deep tissue massage therapy to their clientele. We saw a clear opportunity to provide these specialised services, and Stable Massage was born!
I look forward to you visiting the clinics and please do not hesitate to give me any feedback, either online or by giving us a call.

Went to see Marco and he was excellent. Knew how to keep the balance of working my muscles and when to hold back from areas that were still too sensitive. Explained exactly what he was doing and kept up friendly chat at the same time. A lot of relief, particularly to my neck. Highly recommended! read less

Stable Massage has a chill, minimalist, no nonsense vibe that is relaxing and inviting. Rita has given me important insight into my habits and patterns that result in stiff and sore muscles. As a result of her tips and advice, I'm able to maintain a more open and fluid movement in all my activities. I highly recommend visiting Rita at Stable. read less

I was looking for somewhere closer to home and happened to walk past Stable Massage. I booked a one hour session with Sam. It was one of the best hours of myotherapy I’ve experienced. The pressure was just right, Sam located my sore spots and went to work leaving me with some exercises to perform at home. I’m looking forward to my next appointment in January. read less

Been a long time since I have had a massage, I booked in with Koko and she was great. Started with a quick diagnosis, I only really knew the symptoms (being shoulder, neck and leg pain) and she explained the likely causes very clearly, and then tailored the massage to that. Really decent deep pressing, relieved a lot of pain. Left with some exercises to help further. Definitely exceeded my expectations of what I thought I'd be receiving. read less

Khem first helped me recover from acute pain and muscle tightness caused by Shingles (I'm 72 and never had such pain in my life, not even a total knee replacement). I swear she has magic hands that work deeply to undo knots and tension. Thank you for getting me back on my feet and walking properly again. read less

Being sore and tight in my upper body from crossfit, Khem knew exactly where to press to relieve the tension instantly. She also gave me some tips on how to open up my chest and loosen up my back muscles.
