Lauren Maalouf, PT, DPT
PHYSICAL THERAPIST
I grew up in San Diego, California, where my love for movement began with dance classes and endless cartwheels as a child. I trained in ballet, jazz, and tap for nearly 10 years before shifting my focus in high school to volleyball, water polo, and track and field.
I went on to attend Saint Louis University, where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Health Sciences with a minor in Biology. During college, I developed a passion for rock climbing as a member of the university's club climbing team and returned to dance as the Director of Choreography for the university's hip hop dance club.
I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from San Diego State University in 2024. Since graduation, I have specialized in Orthopedic and Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy. I am currently pursuing a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist certification and completing advanced pelvic health coursework through the Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute.
Outside the clinic, I continue to pursue my passion for movement as a member of Culture Shock San Diego's adult hip hop team and as an organizer of a local recreational beach volleyball group.
I believe movement should be both empowering and enjoyable. I take a creative, detail-oriented, and individualized approach to treatment, partnering with each patient to restore function, build confidence, and help them return to the activities they love.
