Are you living in constant pain?

Something that really breaks my heart is when I hear about how many women just live their lives in constant pain - and maybe that’s you. You  deal with it, work around it, and believe that this is how your body is now.

Well, I invited Dr. Jen Fraboni on with us today, and she specializes in helping people overcome chronic pain. You may already know her or follow her online - She’s the super popular DocJenFit, and is an internationally-renown physical therapist that brings a unique, whole body approach to strength, mobility and pain-free living. This was one of my favorite interviews, because we talked a little bit about sciatica pain, SI joint pain, and even pelvic floor health, but it was when she said that there is something we do without realizing it that increases our pain…well, that’s when my ears really perked up and we had to park on it for a bit. You’re going to really love this.
