My Story...
My story is a tale of resilience, passion, and the transformative power of physical therapy. As a former competitive gymnast, I've navigated the challenging journey from broken bones to reconstructive surgery, enduring both physical discomfort and emotional setbacks. Today, I stand as a survivor, driven by an unwavering commitment to guide my patients towards optimal health, wellness, and the ability to embrace life with a smile:)
My path led me to the University of Dayton, where I earned a B.S. in Education and Allied Professions. Following that, I pursued my Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Ohio University. Since 2007, I've dedicated myself to the practice of physical therapy across various settings, touching the lives of countless patients. Along the way, I've achieved a Brain Injury Specialist Certification and assumed pivotal roles as the Director of Rehabilitation at multiple facilities.
Each step in my journey has illuminated the diverse medical and physical care needs of individuals from all walks of life. Earlier this year, I took a decisive leap forward and established Compass PT, firmly believing that my extensive education, work experience, and years of dedicated patient care had prepared me to provide unparalleled service.
​
As an ardent advocate for a multitude of therapeutic approaches, I approach rehabilitation with a fervent dedication to delivering exceptional results. I am driven by the prospect of guiding your loved ones back to the path of wellness and recovery, empowering them to regain control of their lives. This is not just what I do, but a mission I wholeheartedly embrace.
​
Let's embark on this journey together – a journey toward renewed vitality, restored wellness, and a life full of possibilities. Welcome to Compass PT, where we transform stories of struggle into narratives of triumph.

Warm regards,
Lauren

Dry Needling
Dry needling, also known as trigger point dry needling and intramuscular stimulation, is a treatment technique used by various health care professionals. At Compass PT, we also use an electro-acupuncture device with the dry needles to target and stimulate damaged tissue/muscle.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is an alternative medicine therapy used for treating skeletal muscle immobility and pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood and lymphatic circulation, and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles.

Manual therapy, or manipulative therapy, is a physical treatment primarily used by physical therapists, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists to treat musculoskeletal pain and disability; it mostly includes kneading and manipulation of muscles, joint mobilization, and joint manipulation.
We use a combination of exercises and strength training at our gym to aggressively pursue stated benchmarks and progression. We have equipment and routines specific for stroke, and similar type patients, to improve their daily functionality.
