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'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.
I've been a customer for quite a few years and I feel so much better as a result. read lessAlways consistently amazing I have been going here for at least 10 years and they and just simple brilliant - all of the therapists are first class, all do different styles/offer something so a great options for those hard to budge nots... read moreI have been going here for at least 10 years and they and just simple brilliant - all of the therapists are first class, all do different styles/offer something so a great options for those hard to budge nots ! - cannot rate them highly enough read less

I was suffering terrible pain from Shingles and muscle tightness. I'm 72 and I could hardly stand when I first went, I was doubled over with pain. Now I walk like a youngster. Khem is so experienced and would recommend her to anyone - from a light gentle massage for relaxation or for a true deep muscle make-over. She works like magic, sensing out tension and chasing it away - you can feel the difference as she undoes all the tension in each muscle before moving on to the next. This is true remedial massage - I thank you so much Khem. 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
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.
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.

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

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:)

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 lessCame to sort out my hip and back by getting remedial treatments.
