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

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
They do Relaxation Massages Too!! The therapists are professional and well-skilled. Whilst relaxation massages are not listed in their menu, if you ask the therapist that is what you are seeking, they are more than happy to provide the level of service/therapy you are seeking.

The pain and symptoms are almost gone and he has helped me dramatically and reduced all of the inflammation.
I have been a regular client of Richie and I wouldn't use anyone else. I've tried several practitioners over the years and no one can provide the same level of service and relief from pain.
He's trustworthy, reliable and always on time. Without Ritchie I'd be watching the band instead of performing with them:)
Definitely the best service in the country!!! read lessI am a regular customer and that in itself tells you all that you need to know!

This place is full of Massage and many other things that you can benefit from.
As you look from the street, this place looks a bit junky but as you walk into the driveway, and through the gravel of a parking lot, you enter into a different world. The steps are lined with plants and the atmosphere changes entirely. Opening the screen door, you walk into this cute little lobby with a reception desk with a super cheery receptionist and the smell of whatever lovely scent is this week/months favourite. The house (and that's what it seems like) is a beautiful old historic mansion. When going back into the rooms (which every single one has quiet please, session in progress) it's literally like a beautiful maze with two beautiful staircases... One that's not in use because I'm guessing it's not safe, but it's still beautiful.
From what I've seen, the staff is more than friendly, they greet you and make you feel welcome and the place is just extremely comfortable. If you haven't been in for a massage, give them a ring. They have spots available all the time and the people coming out seem quite happy about it.... If you need to see a mental health expert then have a look on their site, they have the best of the best there. read lessMultiple visits, different therapists, great result each time!
