Ashlii Linkhorn

Dr. Ashli Linkhorn is the founder and owner of Sports Chiropractic Institute, where she has spent more than 20 years advancing the standard of care in sports rehabilitation and performance. Her work centers on bridging the gap between rehabilitation and high-level performance—helping clinicians and athletes move beyond recovery into measurable, sustainable results.
 

She served as an adjunct faculty member at Life University for 15 years and has been a Graston Technique Instructor and Clinical Advisor for over a decade. In that role, she has educated chiropractors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and athletic trainers across the United States and internationally, delivering lectures from Hawaii to Sweden. Her clinical expertise was further demonstrated during her 10-year tenure on the medical staff of the Women’s College World Series, where she operated in elite, high-pressure environments.
 

Dr. Linkhorn is widely recognized for her ability to translate complex concepts into actionable strategies that clinicians can immediately apply. Her teaching emphasizes critical thinking, movement quality, and performance-based outcomes—equipping professionals to elevate both their clinical reasoning and patient results.
 

Beyond the clinic and classroom, she embodies the principles she teaches. She has completed a full Ironman, five half Ironmans, three 50K ultramarathons, and numerous half and full marathons. As a Level 2 Russian Kettlebell Instructor, she brings a deep understanding of strength, durability, and movement efficiency into her work.
 

Dr. Linkhorn’s mission is clear: raise the standard of care, challenge outdated models, and empower clinicians to deliver at the highest level.
