Zac Donato
Zac Donato is a Physiotherapist working across our Mareeba and Westcourt clinics at Cairns Total Physio since 2026.
Zac holds a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from James Cook University, graduating in 2025. He provides evidenceโbased musculoskeletal physiotherapy with a strong focus on listening carefully to each patient and tailoring care to their individual goals, lifestyle and stage of recovery.
Clinically, Zac commonly supports people with:
- Neck and upper back injuries
- Shoulder conditions including rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder and bursitis
- Lower back pain
- Hip conditions such as gluteal tendinopathy, groin injuries and osteoarthritis
- Knee injuries including ligament, meniscal and patellofemoral conditions
- Ankle and foot injuries including sprains, tendinopathies and plantar fasciitis
Zac takes a holistic, patientโcentred approach to physiotherapy. He places strong emphasis on ensuring patients feel heard and understand their condition, expected recovery timeframes and available treatment options. His sessions commonly combine targeted handsโon manual therapy with structured, progressive exercise programs aimed at restoring strength, movement confidence and longโterm function.
Zac regularly utilises objective assessment and rehabilitation tools, including VALD technology, to support clinical decisionโmaking and track progress over time.
Outside of the clinic, Zac enjoys spending time with family and friends, often camping or out on the water. He has a strong interest in soccer, AFL and basketball, and enjoys being actively involved in community events and supporting local sporting clubs.
