The Parent Bodywork Podcast is about helping parents understand the whole body—not just the symptom in front of them.

Hosted by physical therapist, integrative manual therapist, and Parent Bodywork Project founder Jennifer Spitz, this podcast explores the everyday health challenges families face, from common illnesses and injuries to sports injuries, recovery, growth and development. Most importantly, this podcast was born as an outreach project to get parents practical tools to help all children reach their physical potential.

We’ll also explore the often-overlooked connections between breathing, airway development, sleep, posture, the nervous system, especially as it relates to airway informed orthodontia.

Drawing from more than 30 years of clinical experience working with adults and children, Jennifer brings a whole-body perspective to conversations about health, resilience and prevention. The goal isn’t to replace medical care, but to help parents become more informed, observant and confident advocates for their families.

Whether your child is dealing with a current problem, recovering from an injury, preparing for a sport, navigating airway or orthodontic concerns, or you simply want to support their health and potential, The Parent Bodywork Podcast offers practical education and conversations to help you see the bigger picture.
