A Word From Our Founder, Susanna
Tweak Health was started by Founder, Susanna Tan in 2018 to offer a holistic approach to evidence-based treatment in physiotherapy, remedial massage, pilates, and naturopathy.
Susanna has been a qualified physiotherapist for over 10 years. She has helped hundreds of patients take control of their injury with successful recoveries.
At Tweak Health we have built a team of dedicated and highly skilled Physios, Naturopaths and Remedial Massage Therapists that work collaboratively together to help you return to your normal, happy, functioning self.
We believe that good health is more than just treating the physical body. Our holistic approach encompasses the whole person including emotional, mental and social factors that impact recovery.
Our focus is to get you back on track as soon as possible. We’re committed to helping our patients regain mobility and function, to perform at their best.
We offer a unique experience at each clinic by taking out the typical sterile clinical feel. Instead, we have created an environment that makes you feel relaxed and right at home from the minute you walk in.
Our Clinics are conveniently located in Mount Pleasant, Belmont and Newman.
Our ultimate goal is to make health and wellness convenient and accessible to the wider community, and to provide unique and rewarding opportunities for health professionals to work together as a collective.
