Ms Donna Mc Cook (She/her)Physiotherapist

Donna McCook is dual-qualified in Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology, with over 25 years’ clinical experience supporting people through menopause, healthy aging, injury rehabilitation and weight management. She helps people improve mobility, strength, fitness, body composition, and long-term health across the lifespan especially when hormonal change and midlife transitions make progress feel more complex. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based exercise, strength training, and practical lifestyle strategies, with an emphasis on maintaining muscle, supporting bone health, and rebuilding sustainable habits that fit real life. Alongside clinical work, Donna is completing a PhD focused on how to reduce muscle and bone loss during weight loss, including in people using GLP-1 medications. This research lens supports a practical, prevention-minded approach to protecting muscle mass, bone density, and functional capacity while improving weight-related health outcomes. Donna takes a holistic, patient-centred approach and values a multidisciplinary team—working with the patient and, where appropriate, other clinicians—to align goals, reduce risk, and support lasting health improvements.
