Your Healing Partners
Hello! I’m Lauren DeCicco
Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT)
I’m Dr. Lauren DeCicco, a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) with a holistic mindset. I have been practicing for over 15 years, primarily in outpatient orthopedics and sports medicine clinical settings. After years of feeling restricted by the corporate world & insurance industry, I left the mainstream clinical field 3 years ago to start my own practice, where I can treat to my fullest potential for myself and the client.
Through my many years of clinical experience, I have always felt there was a piece of the healing process missing. Soft tissues healed, but still demonstrating wired behaviors of fear and pain avoidance, chronic pain, fatigue and inflammation. The answer lies in the premise that not one body system works alone, and therefore, cannot heal alone.
My practice model is to blend multi system modalities and treatments to allow a full body healing experience. I do this by incorporating the reintegration and regulation of the nervous system (the main controller of inflammation and all things healing), stimulating the lymphatic system for cellular detoxification and regeneration, detailed hands on body work and movement analysis & retraining to achieve a complete healing experience.
My greatest hope and intention is to assist people with having a fully regulated and resilient nervous system, the ability to achieve and maintain higher operating mental and physical states, rewiring of the mind and body connection, and client self empowerment and autonomy in his or her healing journey.
