Menopause and Perimenopause

Menopause and Perimenopause

Menopause is a time that can bring changes that can significantly impact a woman’s wellbeing. Symptoms can include but are not limited to hot flushes, sleep disturbance, joint pain, weight fluctuations, and pelvic floor concerns (bladder, bowel, and sexual health changes).

Women’s health physiotherapists play an important role in supporting women during this stage by addressing musculoskeletal pain, guiding safe exercise, and providing pelvic floor rehabilitation to improve continence and sexual function. Education, movement strategies, and lifestyle support can help women feel empowered and maintain strength, mobility, and quality of life throughout menopause and beyond.
