25.01.2022 Hi everyone, I’m Lauren! I am one of the Exercise Physiologists here at FNQ Rehab. I completed my Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science in 2018 here in Cairns with James Cook University, and my Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology online mid 2020. I am a born and bred southside Cairns local, and when I’m not working I enjoy socialising with friends, spending time with family, playing touch football and camping. When I am working, you can find me servicing the Gordonvale to Mossman region, and my special clinical interests lie in all types of neurological conditions, chronic pain and client education. What excites me most about working for FNQ Rehab is the huge range of people and health conditions we get to see and help people with, and also getting to zip around in my car all day to see people in their homes!
