Build your Muscle and Fitness : Restore your Health
Your Journey to Recovery Starts Here!
Muscle, Bone and Functional Strength loss can occur with Weight Loss, Deconditioning, Hormonal fluctuations (such as menopause) and some Chronic Disease processes (for example cancer and cancer treatment) - particularly if the change occurs rapidly.
Getting active is the key - but finding the right type of activity and the right amount can be challenging - especially when you have health or injury issues slowing you down.
Working with someone who understands your health, your physical tolerances, exercise barriers can make all the difference in the world. As a qualified Exercise Physiologist & Physiotherapist with years of training and experience behind me - That's what I do.
Meet Your Guide to Physical Health Recovery
Hi, I'm Donna McCook
Health recovery through exercise is my professional zone.
My professional qualifications have taken years to acquire and include Post Grad Quals in both Exercise Science and Physiotherapy, plus I am an accredited Exercise Physiologist. I draw on years of education, clinical research, university lecturing, and hands-on experience in both the health and fitness space to guide my clinical practice.I am also embarking on my PhD in Jan 2025 - investigating muscle changes in people taking Mounjaro and Wegovy for weight loss through UQ.
But its not all academic. I have certainly experienced health set backs through my life; and have recently lost 20 kg on my own health journey with the assistance of Mounjaro.
Being able to assist people on their health recovery by combining my professional expertise, growing knowledge and understanding of this rapidly growing area medication facilitated weight loss can be challenging - but can be life changing. And, that's the part of my career I love the most.
