Menopause & Physiotherapy

Menopause & Physiotherapy

Menopause brings hormonal changes that can affect muscle mass, bone density, and overall well-being. Physiotherapy can mitigate these effects through

  • Strength Training: Incorporating resistance exercises helps combat muscle loss and supports metabolic health. Activities like squats, push-ups, and resistance band workouts are beneficial.
  • Low-Impact Exercises: Programs like reformer Pilates focus on low-impact resistance training, improving strength and balance without stressing joints.
  • Flexibility and Balance Training: Incorporating yoga and balance exercises improves flexibility, reduces fall risk, and enhances overall mobility.
