About The Physio Don
Hervey Bay's physiotherapy clinic built on evidence, expertise, and genuine care.
The Physio Don was founded with a simple mission: deliver physiotherapy that actually works. No gimmicks, no guesswork — just evidence-based assessment, clear communication, and treatment plans built around your goals.
We're based in Pialba, Hervey Bay — inside LIFT Strength & Conditioning Gym at 2/172 Boat Harbour Drive. Our clinic features private treatment rooms and direct access to a premium strength and rehabilitation space, meaning your care doesn't stop at manual therapy. We can take you through exercises, progressive loading, and strength work all in one location.
Our team is led by Donovan Baker, a Doctor of Physiotherapy with additional qualifications in strength & conditioning (ASCA), gerontology (APA), clinical pilates (DMA), and dry needling. He is joined by Nathan McKeough, who brings honours-level training plus specialisations in sports physiotherapy and temporomandibular (jaw) disorders.
We proudly serve the Hervey Bay community and surrounding areas including Urangan, Scarness, Torquay, and Maryborough. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or preparing for your next sporting event, we're here to help you move better and feel stronger.

Every treatment is grounded in current research and clinical best practice.
Rehab-Focused
We don't just treat symptoms — we rebuild strength, movement, and confidence.
