Women taking part in a fitness class supporting strength, movement and wellbeing during menopause

I want to address a topic that's increasingly important in my women's health physiotherapy – how menopause affects women's physical health and what we can do to support wellbeing during this significant life transition.


In recent years, I've noticed more women seeking help for issues that, whilst often attributed to "just getting older," are frequently connected to the hormonal changes of menopause. These conversations have taught me that many women aren't receiving the information they need about how these changes affect their musculoskeletal health.
