Breast Cancer and the Pelvic Floor: The Connection You Might Not Expect
Hello friends! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

What many don’t realize is that breast cancer treatment can also impact another important area of the body: the pelvic floor.

What Our Members Are Saying!
" I wasn’t expecting this at all, Jeanice😊!
I appreciate a lot all the educational videos/ webinars and resources that you have been providing for all of us, as Pro-Member of myPFM. It was very helpful during my healing journey with long haul Covid even while dealing with a bad brain fog.
I just listened and watched like I do with my devotional time with God in order to maintain my sanity, keep my mental faculties and memories of what I love to do as PFPT, and definitely keep me abreast on what’s latest in our pelvic PT educational cycle. I just want to briefly share this with you.
Am grateful for being led to your myPFM group. "

FROM OUR FOUNDER
I am so glad you are here. Pelvic health is crucial to a vibrant, independent life. Many people needlessly resign to painful sex, leaky bladders, pelvic discomfort and so much more simply because they lack support. But we’re here to change that. And so are you. Let’s do this.
