The perimenopause and menopause can bring new aches, pains and changes to your pelvic floor, bladder and joints. Our Menopause Physiotherapy service, part of the Women’s Health Clinic at EMPC in Loughborough, helps you understand what is happening to your body and gives you a plan to stay strong, active and comfortable.
Falling oestrogen levels during the perimenopause and menopause can weaken the pelvic floor, leading to heaviness, discomfort or reduced control. We assess your pelvic floor function and build a tailored rehabilitation programme to restore strength and support.
Stress or urge incontinence becomes more common around menopause. Our physiotherapists assess the underlying cause of your bladder symptoms and combine pelvic floor training with practical bladder habit advice to help you regain control.
Joint aches and stiffness, particularly in the hands, knees and hips, are a common but often overlooked menopause symptom. We assess your joints and movement patterns and build an exercise-based plan to reduce pain and keep you moving well.
Reduced bone density and muscle strength around menopause can affect your spine and posture. We assess your spinal movement and strength, then design a programme to support your spinal health and reduce the risk of pain or injury.
Building and maintaining muscle and bone strength is one of the most effective things you can do for your health through menopause and beyond. Our physiotherapists design a strength and conditioning programme suited to your current fitness and goals, progressing you safely over time.
