About Joe:
Joe joined the Spooner Physical Therapy team in June 2018, after completing his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Creighton University in Omaha, NE. Originally from Phoenix, AZ, he received his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science at Northern Arizona University, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2014.
Joe strives to give each patient an individualized experience by listening to their story and circumstances, helping them work towards their goals, and giving them the tools they need to succeed. He also strives to be a life long learner through continuing education and evidence-based practice.
About Lauren:

Lauren grew up in Odebolt, Iowa where the small town life gave her the opportunity to participate in an array of extra-curricular activities which included cross country, basketball, golf, soccer, and tumbling gymnastics. After graduating high school, she went to Simpson College located in Indianola, IA to learn her Bachelors of Arts Degree in Exercise Science and Athletic Training. Lauren then completed her Doctorate of Physical Therapy Degree at Creighton University located in Omaha, NE.
Lauren enjoys getting to know her patients, treating them using the biopsychosocial model. She believes in providing treatments that will improve her patient’s quality of life so they can function at home, at work, in their community, and participating in their passions/hobbies. “Why tunnel a treatment towards one goal if you can hit two birds with one stone!?”
Outside of the clinic, Lauren enjoys video chatting with family and friends, camping, discovering new hobbies, and grilling.
