Your physio
Hi, I'm Donovan…
I started The Physio Don because I was sick of seeing people get bounced around the system — 5 minutes with a physio, hooked up to a TENS machine, a handout of exercises, and a "see how you go". That's not what gets people better.
Every session is genuine 1:1 time. We figure out what's actually driving your pain, build a clear plan around your life, and progress it week by week until you're back to the things you love.

FAQ
Common Questions
How much does an initial assessment cost?
Initial assessments are private-pay and eligible for private health rebates on the spot via HICAPS. Call us on (07) 4802 8388 for current pricing — we keep it transparent and there are no surprise fees.
How long is a session?
Your initial assessment runs for roughly 45–60 minutes so we have time to do things properly. Follow-up sessions are typically 30 minutes of focused, hands-on work and exercise.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral needed. You can book directly and we'll take it from there.
Where are you located and is there parking?
Shop 2/172 Boat Harbour Drive, Pialba — inside LIFT Strength & Conditioning. Free parking right out the front.
What should I wear?
Comfortable active wear is ideal — shorts and a singlet work well so we can properly assess the area that's bothering you.
Why isn't NDIS, Medicare or DVA mentioned on this page?
This page is for private-paying clients booking directly with us. If you're funded under NDIS, DVA, Medicare or a Home Care Package, we absolutely look after those clients too — head to thephysiodon.com.au for the right pathway.
