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. From primitive reflexes and crawling patterns to vagus nerve activation and myofunctional goals, Dr. Keller explains how a well-regulated pelvic floor supports broader therapeutic outcomes, including improved airway function.
Dr. Keller also provides valuable guidance for parents navigating the limited but growing resources in pediatric pelvic care. This episode underscores the importance of collaborative therapy, mindful language, and early intervention in supporting whole-child health.
