Dr. Lauren Lynass is a Colorado girl at heart. While she grew up skiing, snowshoeing, and building snowmen, she has traded in her snowy mountains for the Florida beach life while her husband completes his residency program. As a physical therapist, Lauren has experience working with pediatrics, runners, geriatrics, athletes, and itty bitty newborns. She is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Level 1 & 2 Certified Running Gait Analyst, Dry Needling Certified, and uses her expertise to host sport-specific strength and conditioning classes for local high school athletes.

When Lauren isn't treating patients, you can find her running, hiking with the pup and husband, or simply swinging in a hammock lost in a good book. She considers herself a lifelong learner and loves that being a physical therapist provides her with the opportunity to do so! She enjoys being a part of the [P]rehab Team as it allows her to collaborate with some of the very best in the field and empower others to take charge and ownership of their wellbeing.
