She listens to what I say, concentrates on areas of my body that are painful and can often pinpoint issues I haven't even mentioned. If I'm stressed out she just gives me a full body relaxing massage which is bliss. I'm now pregnant and she has adjusted the massages accordingly and is well-trained in pregnancy massage. Stable Massage is in a beaitful Victorian Terrace on Alma Rd and I find the rooms and music very soothing. Definitely give this place a go! 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

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

If you've got any back issues, crawl into Stable St Kilda immediately. He's an extremely experienced professional and will even make you laugh to distract you from screaming.

Myotherapy and deep tissue remedial massage Really fantastic place, relaxing environment and excellent deep tissue and dry needling massages ! Easy to book and flexible appointment times. Highly recommended.

Best massage by skilled professional Aaron was exceptional, perfect firmness, intuitively hit the spots. Explained what he was doing, really fixed the injured area. Highly recommend Him

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.

Over the years many of the staff have worked there long term which is great as they get to know you and your body well. They have the most comfortable environment that I have experienced for treatment, using high quality tables and the rooms are clean, quiet and pleasant. I have been treated by Osteopaths and Remedial Massage therapists there over the years and am confident in their assessment and treatment. Most recently Junko has been my therapist and she is understanding, attentive and intuitive. read less

I have been going to Stable massage regularly (every fortnight or so) for more than a year now and I have never had a single bad experience or even as much as a glitch.

I have a number of muscle and joint injuries and without Stable Massage I would probably have been off sports and exercise completely.

Anna is an amazing therapists with great knowledge of the human body, patience to listen and help me get better, and positive and welcoming approach it feels natural to come back.

1st Review:

Excellent and professional service. I have had, so far, two sessions with Daisy, who listened very well to my ramblings and was able to very quickly pin-point the source of the problem, and then give them the proper focus. I have not felt this good this quickly.

Also the online booking system is relatively easy to use and with the right amount of notifications. read less

Great massage business with thoroughly professional masseuses. Aiko is very adept. I never wait, a very efficient practice.

I had Richard he is easily the best in Melbourne. His dry needling is the best I have ever come across and his understanding of the human body makes him so good at what he does. Definitely recommend

Stable Massage has a chill, minimalist, no nonsense vibe that is relaxing and inviting. Rita has given me important insight into my habits and patterns that result in stiff and sore muscles. As a result of her tips and advice, I'm able to maintain a more open and fluid movement in all my activities. I highly recommend visiting Rita at Stable. 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 highly recommended Stable Massage for some exceptional treatments. read less

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 less

I saw Ian who was very friendly and professional. I needed a deep tissue massage on my shoulder however I have pre-existing lower back issues, not only did he perform a massage on the affected area but also on my lower back and gave me extra exercise & physio advice which was extremely helpful, he also did some acupuncture. My problem went away immediately after my appointment and I will definitely be visiting again and highly recommend to anybody. Faye 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:)

Definitely the best service in the country!!! read less

This place is a bit more expensive than some of the other places in my neighborhood, but I will definitely return because they do such great work. read less

Perfect Massage Down from Brisbane I needed a massage. I was lucky enough to get Ramin at Stables.

Very good. Thank you.

Fantastic Massage! Came here for the first time for a very knotted upper body. The massage and dry needling was very effective treatment for my condition and the staff are wonderful and easy to deal with.

I've seen Tim twice now and the problem is well on its way to being fixed. The usual tenderness was there for two days after each session but it's that amazing pain that you don't mind.

The setting is quite basic given their focus is more on sports injury but I understand they offer a range of treatments so maybe the other rooms have a more relaxed vibe depending on the type of massage you pick. They also have rooms on Alma Rd.

Take your own wet wipes if you want to get rid of the massage oil though - supplies are lacking on site which is a shame. read less

Too easy! online booking, professional friendly practitioners and choice of therapies.

I'm just so grateful to have such an amazing facility around the corner from home that is open 7 days. I have never had a bad treatment here - they only employ experienced professionals. Thanks so much!

Amazing My partner and I were delighted to hear Rio was back and working at Stable massage! He’s our absolute favorite for remedial massage and dry needling, he gives so much in every treatment, we come out feeling refreshed and relaxed.

These guys are great. I've seen several therapists and Shauni is particularly good. They are good all rounders and at $80 for 45 mins their prices are pretty good.

Just What I needed Great service, practitioners know what they are talking about and really want to help both on the day and by providing exercises and stretches to do at home and work.

Amazing Job! The staff here are very professional and are genuinely concerned with your mobility. I have felt significant improvements in my physiology since coming here and will continue to go as a result.

Honestly the best remedial massage around. Koko is the best!
