About Lauren Wedam
I earned my Masters of Education from Harvard University in 2001 and my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from UVM in 2010. I am particularly interested in functional treatment approaches and have completed extensive continuing education in Functional Manual Therapy with the Institute of Physical Art, manual therapy for the spine and extremities with Maitland Australia and Mulligan Concept (New Zealand), and neurology and orthopedics for the medically complex patient with Carole B. Lewis. I am fully certified in 3-D scoliosis management with the Schroth Barcelona Institute since 2021. I hold my board certification as a clinical specialist in Geriatric Physical Therapy. I am fellowship trained in Applied Functional Science with focus on biomechanics and functional fitness training across the lifespan. Finally, I completed training in Functional Nutrition for Chronic Pain to develop education and wellness strategies to enhance the quality of patient care and overall quality of life.
My clinical experience includes treating acute injuries, chronic pain, post-operative rehabilitation, neurodegenerative disorders, acquired and idiopathic scoliosis, spinal disorders to include disc pathology, strains and pre-/post-surgical care, and sports-related injuries across the lifespan.
