Perimenopause & menopause
Helping women stay strong, active and confident through midlife
Our Women’s Health Physiotherapists assess and treat a wide range of pelvic health concerns. Open a category to see what we cover.
Perimenopause and menopause bring changes throughout the body — including the pelvic floor, bladder, vaginal tissues, muscles and bones. These symptoms may be common, but they don’t have to be accepted as part of getting older.
Our Women’s Health Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists work together on individualised support — pelvic floor rehabilitation, bladder retraining, prolapse management, pessary fitting, vaginal and vulval health advice, and guidance for safely returning to exercise. Where appropriate we work alongside your GP or specialist.
Hormonal changes can contribute to:
- Urinary leakage, urgency or frequency
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Pelvic organ prolapse symptoms
- Reduced muscle strength
- Reduced bone density
- Recurrent bladder symptoms
- Pain with intercourse
- Changes in pelvic floor function
- Changes in body composition
- Difficulty maintaining previous exercise levels
Exercise Physiology
Exercise is part of women's health at every age
Our Exercise Physiology service complements Pelvic Health Physiotherapy — building and maintaining strength, cardiovascular fitness, bone health, balance and confidence with exercise. Particularly valuable through perimenopause and menopause, when muscle mass, strength and bone health matter most.
