Menopause MOT
Look after your pelvic health, strength and fitness through the Menopause
All women will go through the menopause and it is such an important time for women to focus on their own pelvic health, exercise, activity and well-being.
During the peri and post menopause the levels of the hormone oestrogen is decreasing which can cause:
- pelvic health related symptoms such as vaginal dryness, painful sex, bladder leakage, frequent bladder infections, constipation and more
- a reduction in bone density, putting women at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis
Oestrogen also provides a protective effect to the heart which reduces after the menopause and it is therefore important for both your bone and cardiovascular health to use movement, exercise and strength training to help this.
What it includes:
- It Includes a full assessment of your posture, abdominal and pelvic floor muscles and creates a bespoke treatment plan specific to your clinical needs and independent goals.
- Any bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction symptoms will be screened for within this assessment.
- Specialist Menopause Physiotherapy exercise program to meet your individual menopause symptoms and also improve your strength, flexibility, balance and overall health.
- Holistic advice for your menopause symptoms having completed the Menopause Movement course
