I am an Accredited Exercise Physiologist with nearly 20 years of industry experience. I've spent a large portion of my career at the community level, working primarily in gym settings to help people recover from injuries and improve their health and wellbeing. For the past 11 years, I've been working as a sole trader right here in Eurobodalla.

An exercise physiologist is a university-trained allied health professional who uses exercise, education, and lifestyle coaching to help people manage injuries, pain, chronic conditions and their overall health.

Unlike physiotherapists who are often more involved in diagnosing, hands-on treatment and early rehabilitation, AEPs are specialists in exercise-based treatment and education for chronic conditions, to achieve long-term self-management, improve overall health, function and confidence.

At Balance with Lauren, my goal is to help you better understand your condition and body, improve your function and feel more confident managing your health independently. Alongside guided exercise, I work with clients to build knowledge, self-management skills, and independence so progress can continue beyond our appointments. I believe that understanding pain, injury and how the body works can make a real difference in how confident and capable you feel.

In my view, exercise is medicine!. It's not just something the fit and healthy can and should do. It's one of the most powerful things you can do to take charge of your own health and improve your healthspan so you can live a full and healthy life.
