Perimenopause & Physiotherapy!
Perimenopause is the long, often sneaky lead-up to menopause, where your hormones fluctuate wildly — and so does everything else.
Think:
💧Bladder and or bowel changes
💧Hormonal & General Symptoms:
💧Hot flushes/Night sweats
💧Irregular or heavier periods
💧Mood swings or increased anxiety
💧Fatigue and low energy
💧Brain fog / difficulty concentrating
💧Sleep disturbances or insomnia
💧Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
💧Joint pain or stiffness
💧Pelvic heaviness or pressure
💧Changes in core strength or posture
Just feeling like your body’s not right....
But here’s the thing — you’re not broken, and you don’t have to “just live with it.”
👋 Pelvic health physiotherapists are trained to help you:
🙏Understand what’s going on
🙏 Strengthen and coordinate your pelvic floor and deep core
🙏Manage symptoms like prolapse, leakage, and pain
🙏Exercise in a way that supports your body during hormonal changes
🙏Feel confident, informed, and in control
✨ As highlighted by the recent Australian Physiotherapy Association post — pelvic health physios are essential in supporting women through perimenopause and beyond.
And yes, perimenopause can hit well before you're ready. Despite what the stock photos show. If you’re in your 30s or 40s and wondering what on earth is happening — you're not alone.
Come and see one of our qualified pelvic health physios.
Let’s talk, move, strengthen and laugh (when it’s not causing a leak 😉)
