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.

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

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. I will definitely be back every month to get my muscles smoothened, and I believe it will also benefit my training. My biggest and warmest recommendations for Stable Massage. read less

For a start it's a beautiful historic house in St Kilda with a lovely atmosphere.
Over the years I've seen several highly talented remedial and myotherapists.
For the last couple of years at least I've been going to Janine every couple of weeks and she really is amazing. She just knows intuitively what you need and will work with your body. You just leave floating.
Also you can claim some through HICAPS.

I've had massages for many years and so often it's too hard, or too soft or just NOT right. It's such a relief to come to a professional place where they take the time to listen to your concerns and respond.

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

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 lessHad an great session today, felt like my therapist released most of my knots and worked out the scarred tissues in just 60min ($105).

After our first 45 minute massage ,my shoulders and back feel pain free and relaxed with the tension greatly reduced and my partner Says her back feels amazing and is absolutely stoked with the result. We both greatly recommend her for professionalism , and targeting our problem areas on the first visit.

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

Perfect description as I have been seeing Ian regularly for the past year and am so impressed with his professional and positive approach. His regular treatments being a mixture of dry needling (painful but effective), remedial massage and providing valuable exercises which have helped me drastically.
Also for the past 9 months of pregnancy have appreciated the continued remedial massages provided with the bump pillow provided (heaven to lie on stomach) which has kept the expected aches and pains of pregnancy at bay and made it an enjoyable experience!
So grateful and would recommend anyone needlessly suffering with aches and pains! read less
