After graduating from ISU, she attended the distinguished Physical Therapy school Rosalind Franklin University.

However, it was in 2013 that she gained an interest in the Jones Institute Strain- Counterstrain, In 2017 Lauren began working under Brian Tuckey to acquire advanced manual skills in Fascial Counterstrain (FCS). "FCS has expanded my manual treatment skills and has given me an advanced level of knowledge to address the multi-system influence causing patients pain and dysfunction". As Lauren practices, her goals with all her clients are to optimize their form and function for their whole body, alleviate their pain, and return them to previous or higher level of function. Lauren frequently works with various acute to complex chronic pain cases, post-operative patients, conditions related to neuropathy, cervical, lumbar, knee and shoulder dysfunction, to name a few. When she is not working, you will find her busy caring for her three children and hanging out with her family. They love traveling together. Lauren continues to enjoy running and on her free time gets out to play tennis or golf.

As practicing physical therapist since 1985, Marty O'Shea was first exposed to Counterstrain when he attended a seminar which was given by Lawrence Jones D.O. (the originator of the Counterstrain technique.) He quickly realized that Counterstrain was a powerful tool that enabled him to address some of the more recalcitrant problems that his more complex patients presented with which he had previously been unable to effectively treat. After that initial course, he went on to be certified in the Counterstrain in 2003 through the Jones Institute. The next big revelation with his Counterstrain experience was when he attended his first seminar with Brian Tuckey in 2008 where he was introduced to the concept in which Brian applied the Counterstrain concept to the fascial system. This has enabled him to use Counterstrain to treat his patients with conditions that that he never imagined would be treatable within the world of physical therapy. He has since attended all the new fascial seminars as Brian has released them and has consistently trained through the Counterstrain academy to help perfect his mastery of fascial Counterstrain. He works closely with all the physical therapists at ARC Physical Therapy to provide the best treatment possible to help relieve pain and meet his patients' goals.
