Lauren began her journey into physiotherapy in 2012, during which she simultaneously completed a Master’s degree in Dance Science (with an emphasis on performance psychology) and assisted and shadowed the lead physiotherapist for Scottish Ballet.
After graduating from an MSc in Physiotherapy from Aberdeen, Scotland, she began working within the NHS, specialising in musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Throughout this time, Lauren developed her experience in treating a myriad of conditions by also working as a freelance physiotherapist with Scottish Ballet and in a private practice specialising in back/spinal pain.
Recently, Lauren has completed an academic year working as a physiotherapist and lecturer in anatomy at English National Ballet School. She now returns to Pure Sports Medicine with heightened experience in performing arts specialist physiotherapy. Combining her own extensive experience in dance training and performance with a broad educational background, has resulted in a deeper understanding of the physical and psychological impacts of high performance demands on the human body. Lauren has also attended conferences worldwide (including IADMS and Physios in Sport’s ‘Hypermobility and Control’) in order to enhance her comprehension of physiotherapy for diverse athletes and performers.
Lauren draws on coaching and interpersonal skills to empower individuals of all fitness levels in achieving their goals through personalised treatment programmes and education. Her special interests lie within injury prevention and rehabilitation of performing artists and athletes, and she utilises astute observational skills to thoroughly assess biomechanical disparities and movement patterns for all manner of clientele.
Overall, Lauren aims to utilise her experience in order to approach injury prevention and rehabilitation in a more unique, holistic, and meaningful way.
