Rehab your Muscle, Bone, Strength & Stability
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.
The amount of muscle and bone loss can vary between individuals due to differences in age, hormonal levels, nutritional intake and physical activity.
The key concern though is - that once you have started to reduce your volume of muscle and bone tissue, it is not easily reversed.
However, there is a way to potentially
- maintain your muscle and bone tissue while undertaking a medical process or a medically guided weight loss program; or
- build more functional fitness, strength and mobility as your body enables your capacity to do so
And - that's through a medically supervised Targeted Physical Activity program; and if you can manage it a Targeted Exercise program.
Getting active is the key - but finding the right type of activity and the right amount can be challenging - especially when you have underlying health issues. That's where an Allied Health provider - like me - can make the world of difference to the process of recovering your physical health.
Meet Your Guide to Physical Health Recovery
Hi, I'm Donna McCook
I’m passionate about helping individuals reclaim their physical health after weight loss, injury, or health challenges. With qualifications in Exercise Physiology and Physiotherapy, I draw on years of education, clinical research, lecturing, and hands-on experience to guide my practice.
Currently, I’m also pursuing a PhD focused on investigating muscle changes in people with obesity who are using Mounjaro and Wegovy to reduce their body mass.
Having faced my own health challenges, I understand how life's hurdles can impact us all. These experiences have shaped my clinical approach, fostering empathy and grounding my work in real-world understanding.
Throughout my career, rehabilitation has been my forte, and I find immense joy in working with those seeking assistance in rebuilding their capacity to return to what matters most to them.
I’ve accumulated a wealth of knowledge and insights, and I’m eager to share it with others to extend my reach and help as many people as possible. Let’s embark on this journey to better health together!
