Lara studied Sports Therapy at the University of Hertfordshire and graduated with BSc (Hons) in 2008. During her degree she spent time working at a Police Rehabilitation centre in Reading, as well as providing sports therapy to players at Luton Town Football Club. She worked in the University Sports injury Clinic, treating a wide range of sports injuries and correcting muscle imbalances and rehabilitating them back to full fitness.
She is now continuing her academic development by completing an MSc in Dance Science at Laban, a contemporary dance college in Greenwich, London. Lara aims to work closely alongside professional dancers, guiding them through injury rehabilitation and is very passionate about dance.
Lara is also the Head Sports Therapist for the University of Hertfordshire Hurricanes American Football team; this opportunity provides a diverse range of injuries and problems, which she has successfully dealt with over the past 3 years as Head Sports Therapist to the team.
Lara firmly believes that the key to good rehabilitation from injury is in understanding your body and how it works as a whole; she aims to not only professionally treat or manage the injury, but to provide the client with relevant information on the theory behind their problem. Lara feels that if patients understand their own injury and reasoning behind the treatment, this helps patients achieve their goals and get back to full fitness.
Lara comes from a strong sporting background, her passion lies in dancing, having done this from an early age. She has danced a variety of styles over the years such as ballet, modern, contemporary, hip hop and rock and roll and has danced for two contemporary companies. She has since branched out into cheerleading during her time at University and has competed both nationally and internationally with her University squad. She is now currently a ‘Sensations Cheerleader’ for Saracens Rugby Club.
In addition to this Lara has experience of dealing with both children and adolescents, having worked with children’s activities groups for over a year.
