What in the health does your pelvic floor have to do with your voice? More than one might think...
SLPs work from the diaphragm to the glottis, and pelvic health PTs work from the diaphragm to the pelvic floor. It would only make sense that we collaborate because, like every other part of the body, it truly is all connected.
Dr. Sara Sohn, pelvic floor PT, and Ashley Michaelis, voice SLP, have partnered together to bring their expertise and experience to Swallow Your Pride listeners and SLPs, and PTs everywhere. In this episode, this dynamic duo shares insights, clinical examples, and a collaborative approach that reveals just how connected the pelvic floor and voice really are.
