Krys Hines, MBA, PT, DPT

Since 2015, I’ve been providing ergonomic consulting services to clients from California to the Carolinas. As a licensed orthopedic physical therapist with multiple additional certificates, quality of life and wellness are a top priority in how I choose to provide care and services. The rise of the remote working environment highlighted for me the negative effects of a person fitting themselves into an established environment. Within one year of the pandemic, I was treating multiple clients with exacerbation, or new onset of gradual low back, neck, hip, and shoulder pain. I could always link this back to inactivity and prolonged posture in suboptimal positioning on the couch, at a desk, or at the kitchen table.

My goal is to support workers who sit a lot to customize their workspace to fit their own bodies and promote activities that reduce muscle imbalance created by how they do their work. I’ll work with you or your organization to create a customized plan of action to reduce musculoskeletal risk.
