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.

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 had a sublime remedial massage at Stable. Highly recommend.

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

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

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

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.

Being sore and tight in my upper body from crossfit, Khem knew exactly where to press to relieve the tension instantly.
