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.

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.

She listened, use trigger point massage and completely released the overwhelming amount of tension my body was feeling! She's also very humble, which was lovely to hear! Can't wait for my next session in a couple of weeks! I hope her boss is reading because she's worth every penny (and some!)! And no I didn't know her before today, just want to give credit where credit is due, as it's so hard to find a brilliant remedial massage! read less

Queen St provides convenience if you work in the city albeit not as relaxing in terms of environment as the original St Kilda stable site. Still the price is reasonable and most treatments can be claimed on private house. read less
Super relaxing, recommend My first massage of this type (previously only had Thai massages elsewhere) and it was all very professional but relaxed, and the massage itself was really good. Left feeling incredibly soothed and relaxed! Absolutely would recommend and will be going back.

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

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 lessI am a regular customer and that in itself tells you all that you need to know!
