⭐️ Muscle and Joint Conditions in the Perimenopause / Menopause ⭐️

It’s thought that up to 70% of women in the Perimenopause notice new aches, stiffness or even flare-ups of old injuries (Chang Bo-Lu et al., 2020).

This can be due to hormonal changes, particularly decreasing oestrogen, affecting;

➡️Collagen and Cartilage
➡️Muscle Mass and Strength
➡️Inflammation

It’s important that we can apply strategies to help maintain our function and well-being at this stage in our lives.

Today is World Menopause Day which is highlighting awareness of helping symptoms of the Menopause 😊🙌.

This year’s theme is Lifestyle Medicine. Focusing on the 4 key pillars of health to help manage symptoms of the Perimenopause and Menopause;

🌟Exercise
🌟Sleep
🌟Diet and nutrition
🌟Stress Management

I deliver talks in the workplace on Musculoskeletal Conditions in the Perimenopause / Menopause to help raise awareness of what can be done to manage symptoms on a daily basis and at work

I also help women in clinic with managing muscle and joint conditions in the Perimenopause /Menopause.

For more information on my Perimenopause/Menopause talks at work or treatment of joint conditions in the Perimenopause in clinic please do get in touch:

⭐️🤰 Pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy and postpartum 🤰⭐️

It’s important that we don’t see pelvic girdle pain (PGP) as just part of pregnancy and that it’s inevitable and it should just be put up with. There’s a lot that can be done to help symptoms 😊🙌.
Physiotherapy can help reassure you that your pelvis is stable, safe and self-manageable 😊 (Pulsifer et al., 2022).

We can look at posture, adapting lifestyle and educating women, physical activity, external supports and massage and mobilisation as appropriate😃.

Thank you to my recent clients for these lovely reviews that highlight that PGP is manageable and treatable 😊🙏.

Helping women to stay active and function well during pregnancy 😊🙌.

is also a recommended practitioner on the website.
