Menopause & Bone Health
Our women’s health Physiotherapists are experienced in evaluating, treat and support women who are going through menopause and menopause related symptoms.
Menopause occurs when your menstrual cycle stops for 12 months continuously, typically around 50 years of age, and it is marked by a significant drop of women’s sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone. These hormonal changes can lead to:
Decreased bone density and elasticity causing increased risk of developing osteoporosis
Joint stiffness, aches and muscle soreness
Difficulty in regulating temperature (eg. Heat flashes)
Increase in abdominal fat and decrease in muscle mass
At Physiomotion, we offer a holistic approach to treating menopause by developing individualised plans considering medical history, fitness level and your specific needs, ensuring an effective training experience. We work closely with our Nutrition team and medical doctors to ensure that all factors relating to bone health are considered to optimise your training program.
