Hacking Biomechanics with Katrina Klein

Hacking Biomechanics | S5 E8

Pain has become so normalized in clinical work that many professionals assume it’s just part of the job. It isn’t.

In this episode of The Chief Psycho Podcast, I sit down with Katrina Klein, RDH, a clinician and biomechanics educator who has spent over 15 years helping dental professionals protect their bodies and extend the longevity of their careers.

Katrina breaks down how biomechanics and ergonomics actually show up in day-to-day clinical practice and why preparing the body for workload is more effective than reacting to injury after the fact. We talk about movement, strength, and awareness—both in the operatory and in the gym—and how small shifts can make a meaningful difference over time.

In this episode, we explore:
 • Why pain has been normalized in hygiene and clinical care
 • How biomechanics impact performance and endurance
 • Preparing the body for demanding workloads
 • Preventing injury instead of managing chronic pain
 • What career longevity really requires

This episode is for clinicians who want to keep practicing without sacrificing their bodies in the process.
