Saturday 18th October is World Menopause Awareness Day!

During menopause, falling oestrogen levels can increase the risk of bone loss and osteoporosis. But with the right kind of exercise, you can help protect your bones and improve strength!

✨ Weight-bearing activities like walking, running, or dancing help keep bones strong, and they all rely on a healthy, supportive pelvic floor.
✨ Strength training builds both muscle and bone, reducing the risk of fractures.

Regular exercise is one of the most powerful tools for supporting bone health through menopause and beyond. With tailored, expert support, we’ll find the right exercise plan for you that builds bone density whilst also supporting your pelvic floor.

October is Menopause Awareness Month, and as a pelvic health physiotherapist, I meet many women navigating the changes that menopause brings, and pelvic health is often a big part of that journey.

Yes, the changes you're likely experiencing are natural. During menopause, our oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone begins to fall, and it's oestrogen that supports the functioning of our pelvic floor and the surrounding tissues, keeping them strong, flexible, and well-supported.

But it doesn't mean it's simply something you have to bear the brunt of.

If you feel helpless, please get in touch. I offer FREE 15-minute calls to see if visiting a pelvic health physio is what you need, or maybe I can help you with your own next steps.

I’m delighted to be taking part in some wonderful community events this October and November. A chance to talk openly about pelvic health and breast cancer rehabilitation and how we can better support our bodies.
🟣 October 1st
I’ll be sharing all things Breast Cancer Rehab with the team . As a team, we regularly come together to share our expertise so that we can continue to offer a holistic approach to your wellbeing. If perhaps you would like a workshop on breast cancer rehab and prevention, please do get in touch!

🟣 October 6th 10:00 am
I’ll also be speaking at the . This group offers fantastic support with breastfeeding, advice, and a welcoming space for mums and babies. I’ll be there to chat about pelvic health, a topic that so many new mums have questions about, but may feel unsure where to start.

🟣 22nd November, 11–12.30 pm
I’ll be joining in Ashprington to talk all things pelvic floor muscles and pelvic health. We’ll explore how the pelvic floor works, what happens when it doesn’t, and practical ways to strengthen and support this vital part of the body.

These events are about sharing knowledge, answering your questions, and breaking down the barriers around conversations on pelvic health. If you’d like to come along, to either Mother Born Collective or Move with Grace Pilates, I’d love to see you there.

October is Menopause Month-

Why does menopause affect the pelvic floor?

Menopause is a natural stage of life, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. Alongside hot flushes and sleep changes, many women also notice changes in their pelvic health, and that can feel worrying or even isolating.

As oestrogen levels drop, the tissues and muscles of the pelvic floor can become less supported. This might lead to:
⚪ Bladder urgency or leakage
⚪ Weaker pelvic floor muscles
⚪ Vaginal dryness or discomfort
⚪ Changes in intimacy and confidence

If you’re experiencing this, you are not alone, and it’s not something you just have to live with.

With gentle, tailored support, pelvic health physiotherapy can help you feel less disillusioned with your body, rebuild strength, and feel more confident again.

Menopause is a new chapter, and with the right care, it can still be one where you feel strong and supported.

September is Urology Awareness Month-

1 in 3 women live with bladder leakage

For many, it’s linked to childbirth, menopause, or a urological condition, but whatever the cause, it can feel isolating and frustrating.

Here’s the good news:
👉 Your pelvic floor is a muscle, and just like other muscles in the body, it can be strengthened, retrained, and supported.
👉 With specialist pelvic health physiotherapy, many women see real improvements in control, confidence, and quality of life.

🌟 Leakage is common, but it’s not something you have to accept as “normal”.
Specialist support is available, and you deserve it.

It's More Than Musculoskeletal Treatment

When most people think of acupuncture, they often associate it with musculoskeletal pain. However, chartered physiotherapists can also use it to support patients experiencing chronic pelvic pain and urinary and bowel dysfunction.

How though?

Acupuncture stimulates the nervous system, releasing chemicals like endorphins that can relieve pain, affect reflex pathways, regulate neurotransmitters, whilst also adjusting the autonomic nervous system in such a way that aids the bladder to contract and relax.

As a chartered acupuncture physiotherapist, I can help with:

🔸 Pelvic pain

🔸 Overactive bladder

🔸 Constipation

Get in touch if you're curious how I can help as a chartered acupuncture, musculoskeletal and pelvic health physiotherapist.
