AKMI for Dentists

Built for
Healthcare Professionals Who Stand All Day

You spend 6-10 hours a day in the same position -- head forward, shoulders rounded, wrists pronated, core disengaged. Your body adapts to those positions. Not in a good way. We measure exactly what's changed and build a plan to reverse it.

65%
of dentists report chronic neck pain
58%
report lower back pain
35%
report wrist/hand symptoms
28%
consider early retirement due to pain

Occupational Biomechanics

What your job does to your body

Four structural zones. All measurable. All correctable -- when you know the numbers.

01

Cervical Spine

Forward head posture from leaning over patients

The average dental professional carries their head 2-3 inches forward of neutral. That's 20-30 extra pounds of load on your cervical spine, every working hour, every day. The muscles in the back of your neck are in constant contraction. The ones in the front are shortened and weak.

We measure: Cervical forward head distance, upper cervical extension, suboccipital tone
02

Thoracic Spine

Kyphosis from sustained flexion postures

Your thoracic spine was designed to rotate, extend, and flex. Years of dental work lock it in flexion. This doesn't just cause upper back pain -- it limits your shoulder overhead range, compresses your breathing mechanics, and shifts load to your lumbar spine.

We measure: Thoracic rotation bilateral, thoracic extension, rib cage expansion
03

Wrist & Forearm

Repetitive strain from precision instrument work

Dental instruments demand sustained grip with fine motor control. The forearm flexors are chronically shortened. The extensors are overstretched. Carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, and de Quervain's tenosynovitis are occupational hazards, not bad luck.

We measure: Wrist flexion/extension ROM, grip strength bilateral, forearm pronation/supination
04

Lumbar & Hip

Seated posture with unilateral loading

Sitting on a dental stool with one foot on a pedal and your torso rotated toward the patient creates asymmetric hip flexor tightness, gluteal inhibition, and lumbar disc loading. The side you favor develops differently from the other. We measure both.

We measure: Hip flexion/extension bilateral, SLR, hip rotation internal/external, pelvic tilt
Protocols

Assessment-driven protocols for dentists

01

Cervical Decompression Protocol

Targeted restoration of cervical ROM, suboccipital release, deep neck flexor activation, forward head correction

02

Thoracic Mobility Restoration

Rotation drills, extension work, rib mobilization, breathing pattern re-establishment

03

Wrist & Forearm Recovery

Extensor strengthening, flexor lengthening, nerve glide sequences, grip endurance rebalancing

04

Seated Posture Correction

Hip flexor restoration, gluteal activation, pelvic alignment, core stability for seated professionals

05

Full Structural Program

All four protocols integrated into a periodized training plan. 3-4 sessions per week, 40-50 minutes each. Designed around your clinic schedule.

FAQ

Questions from dentists

I'm in pain right now. Should I see a physio first?

If you're in acute pain, yes -- get clearance from a healthcare provider first. Our assessment is not a clinical diagnosis. It's a biomechanical measurement that shows your coach exactly what's structurally contributing to the problem. Many dentists use both: physio for acute management, AKMI for the structural programming that prevents recurrence.

How long until I see changes?

Cervical ROM improvements typically show within 4-6 weeks. Thoracic mobility takes 6-8 weeks. Full postural adaptation is a 3-6 month process. We re-assess every 8 weeks to track progress with actual numbers, not subjective feel.

Can I do this remotely?

Yes. The assessment uses guided video positions and self-administered tests. In-person available in the Madrid area. Same data quality either way.

I only have 30 minutes to train. Is that enough?

Yes. The training program is designed for time-constrained professionals. 30-40 minute sessions, 3-4 times per week. Every exercise is selected based on your assessment data -- nothing wasted.

Your career shouldn't cost you your body.

18 tests. Your structural map. A training plan built for how you actually spend your days. Not generic fitness -- occupational biomechanics.
