Dr. Kali Penders, Coastal Kids Physical Therapy, Interview with meddkit
This month, we’re spotlighting Dr. Kali Penders, Pediatric Physical Therapist and founder of Coastal Kids Physical Therapy!
In our chat, Dr. Kali shares her passion for helping kids move with confidence and comfort—and why early intervention can make a world of difference. We talk about common misconceptions around pediatric PT (spoiler: it’s not just for kids with injuries!), and how small things—like prolonged “W-sitting”—can impact movement patterns and even lead to discomfort later in life. Who knew something so small could be behind some of our adult aches and pains?!
Coastal Kids offers more than just PT—Dr. Kali’s team also provides occupational therapy, speech therapy, and even support with feeding challenges. Their mobile model means they can meet families where they are—literally. By working with kids in their own homes the team gets a real-life view of what’s happening and can tailor care in the environment where it matters most.
Dr. Kali empowers parents with tools, education, and encouragement every step of the way, making therapy approachable, personalized, and full of heart!
