🌸 Perimenopause, Menopause & Your Muscles and Joints 🌸

Many women are surprised to find that as they move through perimenopause and menopause, aches and pains can become more frequent — even without any obvious injury.

Hormonal changes, particularly the decline in oestrogen, play a key role in how our muscles, joints, and connective tissues function. This can lead to increased stiffness, reduced tissue resilience, and even a slower healing response.

💬 So what does this mean for your body?

Oestrogen helps maintain:
✔️ Joint lubrication
✔️ Tendon and ligament strength
✔️ Muscle mass and elasticity
✔️ Bone density

As levels fluctuate and decline, you may notice:
• More frequent joint pain and stiffness
• Increased risk of tendon irritation or injury
• Slower recovery after exercise or injury
• Reduced flexibility and muscle strength

👩‍⚕️ Common conditions we often see in physiotherapy during perimenopause include:

• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
• Tendinopathies (especially rotator cuff, gluteal, Achilles)
• Plantar fasciitis
• Neck and back pain
• Hip pain (often linked to gluteal weakness)
• Osteoarthritis flare-ups
• Generalised muscle aches and stiffness

✨ The good news? Physiotherapy can really help.

With the right guidance, you can:
✔️ Improve strength and joint support
✔️ Reduce pain and stiffness
✔️ Support tissue healing
✔️ Stay active and confident in your body

Every woman’s experience is different, and symptoms are very real — but they are also manageable with the right support.

💬 If you’ve noticed new aches, pains, or slower recovery, don’t ignore it — your body is simply adapting, and we can help you adapt with it.

💥 AC Joint Pain vs Shoulder Osteoarthritis – What’s the difference? 💥

Shoulder pain isn’t always coming from the same place – and two commonly confused issues are AC joint pathology and shoulder osteoarthritis (OA).

🔍 What is the AC Joint?
The acromioclavicular (AC) joint sits at the very top of your shoulder where your collarbone meets the shoulder blade. It’s a small joint, but it can cause a lot of discomfort when irritated.

⚡ AC Joint Pathology
This can include sprains, degeneration, or inflammation of the AC joint.
Common signs include:
• Pain right on the top of the shoulder
• Pain when reaching across your body (e.g. putting on a seatbelt)
• Discomfort when lying on that side
• Localised tenderness over the joint

🦴 Shoulder Osteoarthritis (OA)
OA affects the main ball-and-socket joint (glenohumeral joint).
It typically presents with:
• Deep, aching joint pain
• Stiffness and reduced range of movement
• Pain more widespread around the shoulder
• A capsular pattern of restriction (external rotation most limited, then abduction, then internal rotation)

⚖️ Key Differences
• Location of pain: AC joint = top of shoulder | OA = deeper joint pain
• Movement pain: AC joint = cross-body movements | OA = general stiffness and restriction
• Range of movement: AC joint = often fairly preserved | OA = globally reduced

💪 How Physiotherapy Can Help
At Precision Physio, we use a combination of:
• Detailed subjective assessment
• Targeted shoulder testing
• Movement analysis

This allows us to accurately diagnose the source of your pain and create a personalised treatment plan including:
✔️ Hands-on therapy
✔️ Strengthening and mobility exercises
✔️ Advice on activity modification

Shoulder Pain? It Could Be Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the shoulder is a common condition, especially as we get older or after previous injury. It occurs when the cartilage in the joint gradually wears down, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced movement.
Common symptoms include: • Deep, aching shoulder pain
• Stiffness, especially in the morning
• Difficulty reaching overhead or behind your back
• Grinding or clicking sensations
How is it diagnosed?
Physiotherapists use a combination of subjective questioning and physical assessment. One key clinical sign of shoulder OA is the capsular pattern of restriction, which typically presents as:
External rotation most limited → Abduction → Internal rotation least limited
This pattern helps guide diagnosis alongside your symptoms and specific movement testing.
How can physiotherapy help?
Physio plays a huge role in managing shoulder OA:
• Reducing pain and stiffness
• Improving range of movement
• Strengthening the surrounding muscles for better joint support
• Providing tailored exercises and advice to keep you active
• Helping you avoid flare-ups and maintain function
Early treatment can make a big difference in managing symptoms and keeping you moving well.

Shoulder pain when lifting your arm? It could be subacromial impingement, often linked with a painful arc ☝️

A painful arc typically occurs when raising your arm out to the side (abduction), where pain is felt between around 60–120 degrees. This can be a key sign of irritation within the subacromial space – where structures like the rotator cuff tendons and bursa can become compressed.

💡 Common symptoms include:
• Pain when lifting your arm overhead
• Discomfort reaching for items or getting dressed
• Weakness or reduced movement in the shoulder
• Pain lying on the affected side

At Precision Physio, diagnosis isn’t just based on one test — it’s a combination of:
✔️ Thorough subjective questioning (understanding your symptoms, history, and lifestyle)
✔️ Observation of movement and function
✔️ Specific shoulder testing to help identify the structures involved

This tailored assessment allows us to build the right treatment plan for you — whether that’s improving movement, reducing pain, or strengthening the shoulder.

🙌 Physiotherapy can help restore movement, reduce pain, and get you back to doing what you love.

If shoulder pain is affecting you, don’t ignore it — early assessment can make a big difference.

Struggling with shoulder pain? You’re not alone — shoulder problems are incredibly common and can affect everything from sleep to daily activities.

Some of the conditions we regularly see include:

• Frozen shoulder (stiffness and significant loss of movement)
• Rotator cuff tears (weakness and pain, especially lifting the arm)
• Osteoarthritis (joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility)
• Subacromial impingement (pain when reaching overhead)
• Bursitis (inflammation causing pain and tenderness)

The good news? Physiotherapy can help.

At Precision Physio, we don’t just treat symptoms — we identify the root cause of your pain. Through a detailed assessment, we look at your specific symptoms, movement patterns, and carry out special tests to accurately diagnose what’s going on.

From there, we create a tailored treatment plan which may include:
✔️ Hands-on treatment to reduce pain
✔️ Targeted exercises to restore strength and movement
✔️ Advice to help you manage and prevent flare-ups

Early assessment can make a huge difference in recovery time and long-term outcomes.

If shoulder pain is limiting you, don’t ignore it — get it checked.
