What can Physio do for you

Physiotherapy is essential in managing menopause-related physical changes. As oestrogen levels decrease, many women experience joint pain, muscle weakness, and stiffness. Physiotherapy methods like massage, mobilisation and soft tissue manipulation to improve mobility, reduce discomfort and support overall well-being, addressing specific physical challenges women face during menopause.

Pelvic floor health is another critical area impacted by menopause. Physiotherapists offer specialised exercises to strengthen pelvic floor muscles addressing issues like urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. These treatments improve bladder control and pelvic stability.

In addition to physical rehabilitation, physiotherapy includes posture correction, ergonomic advice and lifestyle modifications to reduce stress on the body. Weight management strategies and cardiovascular exercises recommended by physiotherapists further support overall health during menopause. Physiotherapists can treat joint or muscular skeletal pain. Physiotherapy can also mobilise soft tissue to reduce pain and increase movement.
