About Lauren

Lauren Rudko is a Montreal transplant who obtained both her Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Physiotherapy degrees from McGill University. Her long history of playing and coaching rugby drew her into physiotherapy and learning about the role of the pelvic floor led her to pursue postgraduate work in pelvic floor physiotherapy.

Lauren is passionate about pelvic floor physiotherapy and started out working with adults after completing her post-graduate pelvic floor levels and becoming rostered with the Ontario College of Physiotherapists. When a few kiddos with bowel and bladder issues came into her caseload, Lauren dove head first into how to best work with them. 

Lauren works with kids experiencing issues including encopresis (fecal soiling), constipation, enuresis (bedwetting), daytime urinary incontinence, and pelvic pain. She works in creative ways to meet families where they are to improve bowel and bladder habits to reduce symptoms. Treatment techniques range from breathing and core exercises to body awareness techniques and biofeedback. Lauren has taken courses in autism spectrum disorder and postural work for kids with exceptionalities, to better assist children with a wide range of diagnoses. 

Looking to bring together her love of coaching, working with kids, and pelvic floor physiotherapy, Lauren is excited to be working at Toronto Kids Physio!
