Since graduating she has worked in Private Practice and has worked in the clinic, pool (hydrotherapy), Gym/Pilates studio and home environments seeing a large range of conditions. She is passionate about providing high quality, holistic and best evidence based practice.
Lauren has previously played and coached tennis and when injury struck, physiotherapy became her second home. Whilst overcoming her injuries, Lauren was always interested in learning more about her treatment and from there , her physio encouraged her to undertake studies in Physiotherap. Through different personal injuries, illnesses and events, Lauren has seen both sides of rehab, physio and the medical system.
Lauren’s treatment philosophy is a ‘hands on’ approach to managing her clients. Lauren feels it is important to learn about and understand the person as a whole, as injuries and pain can cause a multitude of other worries over time. She is committed to educating patients around movement and rehabilitation, and matching a treatment plan accordingly, to achieve their goals and best possible outcomes.

Outside of work, Lauren loves getting out and about and anything related to the beach, camping and a spot of 4WDing. On the flip side, she also has a love of fabulous food/wine and a boogie on the dance floor and is not afraid to don a costume for her ongoing involvement in her favourite charity.
