Delaine Fowler PT, DPT, CEO
Dr. Delaine Fowler is a recognized expert in the Work Health Connection. A physical therapist specializing in workplace injuries, Delaine has helped thousands of patients on their road to physical recovery. After a year of treating people in her office she could not help think there was a better way to help people before their problems ended up in surgery. After watching surgeons chase pain from one body part to another in employees waiting for the doctors to ask the same questions she realized this was not going to happen. She decided to start collaborating with companies to find out if changing the way people work might stop employees from what would in many cases be a lifetime of pain and suffering due to multiple surgeries only chasing symptoms.

She quickly discovered treating employees as industrial athletes and applying her skill sets in care and coaching had a profoundly positive impact on the employee bases of the companies. Today, she dedicates her focus towards preventing the strains, stresses, and injuries that costs companies millions. Delaine’s company serves 10,000 employees by placing physical therapists and certified athletic trainers where they’re needed most: the workplace. Her clients include major brands like Aldi, Jeld Wen, and Dillards. Delaine is a popular keynote speaker and workplace safety thought leader known for her practical approach and industry shaping insights.
