Description

Better breathing means better living, and it starts earlier than you think. In this episode of No One Told Me: The Airway Health Connection, Dr. Maggie Graham and Dr. Liz Turner welcome pediatric physical therapist Dr. Brita DeStefano, founder of Progress Through Play.

They discuss the vital link between airway health, infant movement, and lifelong development. From torticollis and tongue ties to milestone red flags and collaborative care, you’ll gain a fresh perspective on how proactive screening and therapy can set children up for healthier futures.

What You Will Learn in This Episode:

• Why the quality of movement matters more than just milestone checkboxes
• How tongue ties and body restrictions affect feeding, sleep, and growth
• The importance of manual therapy and reflex integration before considering releases
• Why parents should trust their instincts when something feels “off”
• The role of interdisciplinary collaboration in creating better outcomes for families

Whether you’re a parent navigating infant challenges or a provider seeking to expand your airway expertise, this conversation is packed with actionable insights.
