The Inn at St. Johns, Plymouth, MI
Millions of women in the U.S. live with pelvic floor issues such as incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. Many of them suffer in silence, assuming their problem is a natural part of life or something that can’t be resolved without invasive surgery. We want to shine a light on these common conditions and help women get familiar with treatment options – some of which can be as simple as exercise and wellness.
