In this episode, Karindy Ong, MA, CCC-SLP and Dr. Caitlin Keller PT, DPT dive into the essential and often overlooked role of pediatric pelvic floor therapy. They explore how pelvic floor tension and relaxation directly impact not only toileting challenges like constipation and bedwetting, but also airway health and function. The conversation highlights how pelvic floor therapy for children differs from adult care and why it must be developmentally informed.

Are we truly connected with our children, or is modern life pulling us apart? In this episode, Karindy Ong and Nicole Archambault discuss the importance of emotional connection, body awareness, and the parent’s role in fostering resilience and regulation. Disconnection is becoming more common, leading to emotional struggles in children and families.
