OUR STORY

Livewell Health began with a single treatment bed in a compact 3x3 space within a multidisciplinary clinic. It quickly became clear that to truly enhance client outcomes and the overall wellness experience, we needed more room to grow. As a small, family-run clinic, our mission has always been to create positive, meaningful changes on the wellbeing of our community.

We prioritise patient outcomes above all else, and every decision we make is focused on optimising recovery and enhancing the client experience. Our growth has primarily come through word of mouth, and we deeply value the trust our clients place in us. With a small, close-knit team, we can ensure the highest quality care and personalised attention for every individual we work with.

In partnership with the City of Melbourne, we’ve launched Livewell Community, an initiative designed to improve access to quality healthcare and exercise guidance, particularly for women and seniors in our local area. As we continue to grow with our dedicated team and clients, we remain committed to fostering a supportive, inclusive environment for all.
