Lauren Robinson
Exercise Physiologist
AEP, AES, ESSAM
For Lauren, becoming a Clinical Exercise Physiologist was an obvious choice. After many years as an elite swimmer at both junior and senior levels, she experienced firsthand the profound impact exercise has on performance, recovery, and overall well-being. This personal insight inspired her career in exercise physiology, where she has since worked with a diverse range of clients, including those in Paralympic and disability sports, paediatrics, and individuals with complex musculoskeletal conditions. Lauren holds a Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Honours) from the University of Queensland. Her particular areas of interest include oncology care, neurological rehabilitation, and musculoskeletal health. She has also completed Clinical Reformer and Mat Pilates Level 1 training through The Pilates Institute of Queensland, and she often integrates Pilates into her treatment plans to enhance recovery and strength. With prior experience in personal training, group fitness, and sports coaching, Lauren adopts a client-focused approach in her practice. Her passion lies in guiding individuals through their unique physical and mental well-being journeys. She is committed to taking the time to connect with clients, listen to their concerns, and leverage her knowledge and experience to empower them to lead more active and healthy lifestyles. Outside of her clinical work, Lauren enjoys spending time at the gym or pilates studio, following her favourite AFL and Formula 1 teams, and indulging in some online shopping.

“Hassan is a very enthusiastic and attentive physio. I have been with him from the very start of my injury and all the way through to rehab. He has provided myself guidance on injury management and adjusted to my
circumstances. I have seen significant
improvement in my range of motion since the start of injury.”
Highly recommend Motion Rehab to anyone that needs a physio! The team are terrific - very knowledgeable and caring. Mitch is
excellent at what he does. He explained
everything to me in great detail and was
excellent in treating my fractured shoulder and supporting my recovery. Thank you!
I went here for rehab for my whiplash, neck and back pain. Mitch and the physio team were super helpful and proactive with my recovery from a car accident. Highly recommend!
