If you or a loved one are navigating menopause, you’re not alone.

Menopause occurs naturally when periods stop due to lower hormone levels. It most commonly affects women between the ages of 45 and 55, though it can happen earlier.

Join our next free webinar to learn how exercise can support the menopause journey. An expert physiotherapist will share practical advice to help manage common symptoms such as hot flushes, fatigue, and brain fog, while also reducing incontinence, easing discomfort, and helping to prevent prolapse.

Can’t attend live? No problem. Register anyway and you’ll be able to watch the event on-demand, at a time that suits you.

Menopause can feel like a big change, but you or your loved one don’t have to go through it alone.

It’s a natural stage of life that usually happens between the ages of 45 and 55, though it can begin earlier. The changes it brings, from hot flushes and fatigue to brain fog or discomfort, can sometimes feel overwhelming.

That’s why we’re hosting a free webinar on the 30th September, to share how exercise can make a difference during the menopause journey. Our expert physiotherapist will offer practical ways to ease symptoms, improve comfort, and support long-term wellbeing.

If you can’t join us live, don’t worry. You can still register and watch on-demand, whenever it suits you. https://bit.ly/4mmf1cJ
