Menopause Physio

Menopause, a natural transition in a woman's life, can bring about a wave of changes, some more welcome than others.

Experiencing symptoms like urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, or pelvic pain can be frustrating and impact your daily activities and intimacy.

But you don't have to navigate these changes alone.

Pelvic floor physiotherapists are specially trained professionals who understand the unique challenges women face during menopause.

They focus on the pelvic floor muscles, a network of muscles that support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. These muscles can be significantly impacted by hormonal changes during menopause, leading to various symptoms.

How a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist Can Help:

  • Understanding Your Symptoms: They'll work with you to understand your specific concerns and the impact they have on your life.

  • Building Strength and Control: Pelvic floor muscle training is a cornerstone of treatment, helping you regain control of your bladder and improve overall pelvic health.

  • Managing Discomfort: Techniques like massage and biofeedback can address pain and discomfort associated with vaginal dryness and pelvic pain.

  • Lifestyle Guidance: They'll provide guidance on lifestyle modifications, such as mindfulness and exercise habits, that can positively impact your pelvic health and overall well-being.

  • Improved Quality of Life: Through personalised care, a pelvic health physiotherapist can empower you to regain control and rediscover confidence during menopause.

Common Menopause Symptoms Addressed:

  • Urinary incontinence (leaking urine)
