Lauren Dunphy was born and raised in Redmond, WA and completed her Doctorate in Mesa, AZ. She loves being back in her home area and enjoys helping her community return to their activities prior to injury and to help give back the lives of those with chronic pain. She has advanced manual therapy training from the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy, has taken Kinesio Taping courses, and is experienced with pediatrics. Her main specialty is Strain Counter-strain from the Jones Institute, also known as positional release. This is a gentle and non-traumatic technique utilizing passive positioning of muscles and joints towards positions of comfort. It is effective for those with acute injuries (MVA, sports injuries, ankle sprains) as well as chronic conditions (OA, fibromyalgia, headaches). She enjoys working with all diagnoses in all age ranges and believes that to achieve a successful outcome for the client, educating the patient regarding their condition must be combined with manual and therapeutic interventions.
