248: Ashley Williams, DPT: How Daytime Posture Shapes Nighttime Sleep

Ashley is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with over 20 years of expertise in seating, posture, and pressure management. She began her career leading a pediatric seating clinic before bringing her knowledge to the wheelchair manufacturing industry, where she thrived in clinical sales and training, mentoring new therapists in foundational seating principles.

Her career has been built on a deep understanding of how the way we sit affects everything from musculoskeletal health to long-term function and comfort. Ashley has spoken at regional and international conferences, guest lectured at universities, and now leads the Ambassador Community at Anthros—an ergonomic seating company rooted in spine science.

Known for her high energy, humor, and ability to connect with anyone, Ashley is on a mission to fix the way people sit—and help others feel and function at their best, wherever they are.
