Our History

Proud to have been associated with premiere international sports teams & leagues, performance arts organisations, athletic foundations, renowned specialist doctors... and you!

206 Optimal Movement was born out of the love for science, learning, movement and people!

Tamara, our Founding Director, aimed to create a community of like-minded Physiotherapy and other health & fitness professionals. Based in Mumbai, India, we work to provide a high standard of reliable health services for people looking for freedom from pain, help with injury recovery, condition management and those wanting to enhance their physical activities and skills.

Since 2013, our approach has been to lend a patient listening ear and a guiding hand to all our clients, backed by a robust scientific approach with evidence-based practice and clinical experience, to help with all Neuromusculoskeletal injuries and conditions.

Tamara Zweck, Founding Director, graduated as a Physiotherapist at University of South Australia, offering one of the most prestigious Musculoskeletal speciality courses in Physiotherapy at that time, home of the renowned Maitland Concept and Method.

While working abroad in the United Kingdom, South Africa and Italy, Tamara visited India numerous times to explore the country with its diverse cultures, yoga practices and ever evolving textiles, crafts, arts and philosophy.

Following an invitation to teach Physiotherapists in India, Tamara moved to Mumbai from Australia, and steadily acquired other Physiotherapy projects by word of mouth and built a reputation for effective handling complicated cases.

While giving lectures for Associations and Universities, Orthopaedic Conferences, the National Cricket Academy, and CII, her increasing sphere of influence in Mumbai prompted Tamara to lead a team of focused and forward thinking Physiotherapists.

The first 206 Optimal Movement clinic opened its doors in Mumbai, at Breach Candy. While the initial idea was to bring together varied health practitioners for all health needs, the idea and philosophy evolved to best cater to specialised needs of the populace and focus on being the expert go-to providers of Physiotherapy and through physiotherapy, of optimized movement and living.

Based on overwhelming demand from the patients living in Suburban Mumbai, we opened a second 206 Optimal Movement clinic in Bandra - the queen of the Suburbs.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the clinic was closed for 3 months. We moved all our services online, with over 3000 virtual sessions in 2020 alone. We have since then created a syllabus for providing Physiotherapy assessment and management via a virtual platform.
