Biography
Originally from Temecula, CA, Lauryn earned her Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Neuroscience in Seattle. While she knew early on that physical therapy was her calling, her passion was firmly cemented after undergoing four hip surgeries, culminating in bilateral hip replacements shortly after graduation. Experiencing the rehabilitation process firsthand gives Lauryn a unique, empathetic perspective as a patient and deeply inspires her commitment to helping others navigate their recovery.
Lauryn went on to earn her physical therapy degree from the University of St. Augustine and completed her final clinical internship with Rehab United. Her clinical training spans orthopedic, post-operative, and sports physical therapy, as well as acute care. Her professional interests include orthopedic rehabilitation, sports-related injuries, and helping patients safely and confidently return to the activities they love.
Looking ahead, Lauryn plans to earn her Applied Functional Science (AFS) certification and continue expanding her skill set to provide the most optimal, personalized level of care for diverse patient populations.
