How Physiotherapy Helps Menopause:

Physiotherapy can play a significant role in managing menopausal symptoms and improving quality of life. It focuses on addressing musculoskeletal issues, improving pelvic floor health, and promoting overall well-being.

Physiotherapy Treatments for Menopause

• Pelvic Floor Muscle Training: Exercises to strengthen pelvic floor muscles, helping to manage urinary incontinence, a common symptom during menopause.

• Strength Training: Exercises to maintain muscle mass and bone density, which can decline during menopause, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

• Flexibility and Stretching Exercises: Exercises to improve flexibility and range of motion, alleviating joint stiffness and muscle aches.

• Postural Training: Exercises and education to improve posture, reducing back pain and other musculoskeletal discomfort.

• Balance Training: Exercises to improve balance and proprioception, reducing the risk of falls, particularly important as bone density decreases.

• Breathing and Relaxation Techniques: Techniques to manage stress, anxiety, and hot flushes, promoting relaxation and overall well-being.

• Manual Therapy: Techniques to address musculoskeletal pain and tension, including joint mobilisation and soft tissue release.

• Education and Lifestyle Advice: Providing information on managing symptoms, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and adapting to changes during menopause. This includes advice on exercise, nutrition, and stress management.

By addressing these areas, physiotherapy helps women navigate menopause more comfortably, maintain physical function, and improve their overall quality of life.
