Here's the key to longevity in your career
Body building led Katrina Klein to proper ergonomics as a dental hygienist. When she saw how much she improved, and how she was able to share some of her success with her colleagues, she decided to take the message to others. She became a speaker and writer on the topic of proper ergonomics, including her regular articles in RDH magazine.
She covers a lot of topics, such as muscle strength, proper hydration, taking time for yourself, nutrition, and staying strong and balanced.
Listen to what we discuss and how you can apply some of these ideas to your daily practice.
