A local to Victoria, BC, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of Victoria in December 2023. Prior to joining Parkway, I accrued several years of experience as an Insurance Advisor, specializing in professional service delivery, client engagement, and complex issue resolution. Through this experience, I developed a commitment to a client-centered approach across my professional practices. During my undergraduate studies, I deckhanded in the commercial fishing industry. This afforded me the opportunity to explore some of the most pristine and remote coastal regions of British Columbia. The organization I worked for is dedicated to sustainable fishing practices, an experience that bolstered my appreciation for environmental stewardship. My time in the commercial fishing industry underscored the paramount importance of teamwork and effective communication, particularly during extended, demanding workdays. These attributes have since become fundamental pillars in both my professional and personal life. At Parkway, my objective is to seamlessly integrate this diverse background to provide unparalleled care, with a specific focus on tailoring my approach to the unique needs of each client. In my leisure time, I maintain an active lifestyle through pursuits such as squash, cycling, and swimming.

You might be surprised that I…

I’ve worked with a variety of sports teams like rugby and hurling teams in Ireland, and soccer teams in the Canada Games

I’m an active competitor in equestrian dressage!

Biography Lauren Macauley is a dedicated physiotherapist with over a decade of experience, having graduated from Dalhousie University. She holds certifications in Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) therapy and is a recognized Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Therapists (FCAMPT). Additionally, she has earned her Certificate from the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute (CAFCI).

In her practice, Lauren prioritizes patient education about their injuries and employs a hands-on manual therapy approach for treatment. This is supplemented with IMS and acupuncture, which she finds to be powerful tools for treating surrounding soft tissue. Her primary goal is to empower patients about their injuries and witness the transformative power of physiotherapy.

Lauren has developed special interests in gait analysis for runners, plantar fascia and metatarsal pain, cervicogenic headaches, TMJ dysfunction, and in treating all forms of body sprains/strains. This has led her to work with a diverse range of international sports teams, from hurling and rugby in Ireland to Canada Games soccer teams and national rowers.

Lauren also specializes in concussion management, post-concussion syndrome, and vestibular rehabilitation, keeping up-to-date with the latest research and treatment techniques in this rapidly evolving field.

Away from the clinic, Lauren is an active competitor in equestrian dressage and dog agility with her sheltie dogs. These experiences have given her a well-rounded perspective on physiotherapy and ingrained in her a deep belief in the value of movement. She brings this holistic approach to every patient’s care.
