🌿 Menopause Awareness Month: Lifestyle Matters! 🌿

🔗 below for latest blog…

Menopause affects pelvic health, bones, joints, and muscles, but small lifestyle changes can make a real difference.

💪 Regular exercise, strength training,
🥣 healthy nutrition,
😴 quality sleep,
🧘‍♂️ stress management,
🧍‍♀️ pelvic floor care

Can help women prepare for menopause and thrive through it.

As a physiotherapist and researcher, I put the latest evidence into practice to support women in building strength, managing symptoms, and maintaining wellbeing.

💡 Take action today: move your body, nourish it well, prioritise rest, manage stress, and seek support from your GP or a pelvic health physiotherapist.

Your future self will thank you!

🌸 Physiotherapy & Genitourinary Symptoms in Perimenopause & Menopause 🌸
Did you know that changes in estrogen during perimenopause and menopause can affect the pelvic floor, bladder, and va**na? 🤔 This can lead to:

✨ Vaginal dryness or discomfort
✨ Painful in*******se
✨ Heaviness or dragging sensation (pelvic organ prolapse)
✨ Urinary urgency or frequency
✨ Leaking with exercise, cough, or sneeze
✨ Recurrent UTIs

💡 The good news: Physiotherapy can help!

✔️ Pelvic floor muscle training tailored to your needs
✔️ Bladder training & habit strategies
✔️ Guidance on va**nal moisturisers & lubricants
✔️ Exercise & lifestyle advice to support long-term pelvic health

You don’t have to “just live with it.” 🌿 Support is available, and small changes can make a big difference in your comfort and confidence.

This is why we do what we do!!!! Loved having J:Fit in class today!

Didn’t even cross my mind to take a photo in my first class with Helen today at Orchard View Physiotherapy. That’s how engaged I was & how much I enjoyed it. As a Pilates teacher myself, I’m aware that I’m not even close to perfect… Helen, with kindness & encouragement, guided me through a sequence of movements that left me sweating & quaking. Helen even adapted the plan as she worked, to hone in on areas that needed work. It reminds me that, I may be strong & competent, but I have a lot of imbalances & old injuries that need constant love & work. If you know me, you know I hate looking at my weaknesses in the mirror…Helen made me feel comfortable with them & helped me not to punish myself. Thanks love. You’re a wonderful teacher …& that 🧠 is FULL of physiotherapy & pelvic health knowledge that complements the practice beautifully 😍 Thouroughly LOVED my session & can’t wait for next week
