Menopause Physio

The significant hormonal changes that occur in the body at this point can cause profound changes in a women’s health and lead to some fairly miserable side effects including;

• physical aches and pains
• reduction in bone density
• strength and balance
• weight gain
• hot flashes
• insomnia and depressed mood
• pelvic floor muscle weakness
• urinary and faecal incontinence
• pelvic organ prolapse
• painful intercourse

Luckily these days there is far more information and support to effectively combat these symptoms than ever before. Our Women’s Health Physios are specialists in addressing these problems.  We work closely with GP’s, Gynaecologists, personal trainers and nutritionists to ensure you are as prepared as possible before you hit the menopause, and progress through this stage in life feeling tip top!
