Lauren Goldammer, PT, DPT
Lauren earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences in Rochester, MN, in 2020.
Lauren is passionate about working with individuals across the hypermobility spectrum, including those with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), as well as individuals living with chronic fatigue, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and other forms of dysautonomia, and chronic pain. She considers it a privilege to work with this patient population and is excited to accompany each individual on their unique health journey.
Lauren is particularly passionate about chronic pain management and recognizes the complex, widespread, and interdisciplinary nature of conditions such as EDS and other hypermobility-related disorders. She is committed to continuing her education through courses and professional development opportunities to stay current with evolving research and the latest understanding of EDS, hypermobility, and chronic pain. In addition to her clinical work, Lauren occasionally teaches continuing education courses for fellow physical therapists on these conditions, with the goal of expanding awareness, sharing current knowledge, and advancing research and treatment opportunities for patients.
Lauren values a whole-person approach to care that recognizes the many factors influencing health and quality of life. She strives to create a supportive, collaborative environment where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered to work toward their goals. She is committed to providing individualized treatment and education that honors each patient's experiences, needs, and priorities.
Lauren has also had the privilege of working with patients across a wide range of ages and complex diagnoses. She enjoys learning from each patient and tailoring her approach to support their individual goals, improve function, and enhance quality of life.
Lauren is fluent in Spanish.
In her free time, Lauren enjoys spending time with her husband and two young daughters, as well as traveling when time allows.
Lauren is currently accepting telehealth patients only.
