Lauren Lenz | DPT
Physical Therapist
Lauren has been an athlete, her parents would argue, since the day she was born! And, she’s been fascinated by the human body for as long as she can remember. Playing soccer in college, she experienced first-hand the level of commitment, training, and recovery that’s required for an athlete to gain a competitive advantage and maintain peak condition. The benefits that come from addressing both physical and psychological well-being fascinated Lauren and lead to her calling.
Lauren is a committed partner in her patient’s recovery and mobility goals. It all starts with her naturally caring spirit . . . having an open ear and being a good listener. With those inherent traits, Lauren seeks to gain a comprehensive understanding of her patient’s background related to their mobility challenges. And with that understanding, she helps chart a smooth and sure-footed path to achieving success.
It is PEAK’s reputation for a patient-centric approach to healthcare that first drew Lauren to consider joining our team. And it’s the welcoming, family-like atmosphere that made her say, “yes!”
Lauren considers herself the consummate explorer — hiking, golfing, hunting, fishing — whether she and her fiance are chasing their dog around Wisconsin or traveling about the world.
