Why Hormones Matter in Physical Therapy
You might be wondering — what does hormone therapy have to do with physical therapy? Quite a bit:

Pain and inflammation: Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone can change how your body processes pain, which may explain new joint aches, headaches, or muscle stiffness.

Sleep and recovery: Poor sleep amplifies pain signals and slows tissue healing. Addressing hormone-related sleep disruptions can accelerate rehab progress.

Muscle and bone health: Hormones influence bone density, muscle mass, and tendon health — all key for staying strong and preventing injury.

Energy and quality of life: When patients feel more balanced hormonally, they often report more energy, better mood, and greater consistency in following through with movement and exercise.
