Kim Dines

Kim Dines, PT, FNTP, is an integrative manual therapist whose work bridges advanced physical rehabilitation with mind–body therapeutics, cranial and visceral approaches, and autonomic nervous system regulation. Her treatment philosophy draws from both traditional physical therapy and cutting-edge manual methods, helping patients access deep levels of relaxation, mobility, parasympathetic tone, and structural balance.

Kim’s extensive clinical background includes advanced training in:

• Myofascial Release

• Craniosacral Therapy (Upledger)

• Craniofacial and intra-oral mobilization

• Neuromanipulation

• Visceral Manipulation (Barral)

• Manual Lymphatic Drainage

• Scar Release

• Trigger Point therapy

• Acupressure point work

• Integrated Manual Therapy (IMTc)

• Functional Nutritional Therapy

Her clinical focus includes chronic illness, mobility limitations, pain, stiffness, edema, abnormal posture, neurological issues, and complex multisystem presentations. She works closely with patients seeking a natural, biologic, and therapeutic path to healing.

Kim’s treatment approach addresses the musculoskeletal, fascial, visceral, cranial, lymphatic, and subtle energetic layers of the body. Her deep understanding of nervous system physiology allows her to guide patients into restorative states of healing—often improving chronic stress, trauma-related patterns, and autonomic dysregulation.

At Sophia Health Institute®, Kim collaborates with Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD, and the integrative clinical team to support patients with chronic illness, neurological challenges, and developmental conditions. Dr. Klinghardt has long appreciated Kim’s unique ability to work with complex nervous system presentations and regularly recommends her approach for children and adults with developmental or neurological needs, including autism-spectrum conditions.

Kim is devoted to helping each patient restore function, comfort, nervous system balance, and a renewed sense of embodied well-being—reflecting SHI’s commitment to comprehensive, biologically aligned healing.
