Laura Zanatta

Pelvic Health and Musculoskeletal. I work in Randwick. 


My Story:


I grew up in Griffith, NSW, a small regional town known for its farming and agriculture, often referred to as Australia’s “food bowl.” I spent much of my childhood working with my family on the farm.  I moved to Sydney 11 years ago for boarding school - a big shift from country life.

I went on to complete a Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise Physiology), where I gained experience working with elderly populations and retired veterans, before completing my Master of Physiotherapy at the University of Sydney. During this time, I developed a strong passion for sports physiotherapy and performance-based rehabilitation.

I now have experience managing a broad range of musculoskeletal injuries and currently work as the lead physiotherapist for the Sydney University Women’s Rugby team in the Shute Shield competition (and yes, game day is just as intense for me as it is for the players). I have also worked within the Australian National Water Polo League and been involved in elite sporting environments and camps across rugby, rowing, and soccer. I also teach physiotherapist-led Pilates, which has further shaped my approach to movement, control, and rehabilitation.

Outside of work, I love staying active, whether that’s playing touch, running, going to the gym, or doing Pilates.


What makes me different:


Working in semi-professional sport has given me experience managing athletes in real performance settings, where decisions around injury, load, and return to play need to be clear, efficient and outcomes focused. I apply this same approach to all patients, whether you’re an athlete or part of the general population. I focus on identifying the underlying drivers of injury, rather than just treating symptoms. This means looking at the body to ensure long-term results.


What I have learnt:

  • Master of Physiotherapy – University of Sydney

  • Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise Physiology) - University of Sydney

  • Dry Needling Level 1

  • APA Women’s Health Level 1

  • Immediate Care in Rugby Level 2

Fun fact:


I’m a twin!
