JOINT PAIN IN PERIMENOPAUSE? You are not imagining it!
🌸 Many women are surprised when joint pain becomes a regular visitor during perimenopause — but it’s far more common than most realise.
🌸 As oestrogen levels fluctuate, the body becomes more prone to inflammation, stiffness, and slower tissue repair. That hormonal shift can make everyday joints like knees, hips, hands, and the lower back feel achy or swollen, especially in the morning or after long periods of sitting.
🌸 At our clinic, we see this often, and the encouraging news is that targeted physiotherapy can make a real difference. Gentle strength training, mobility work, manual therapy, and personalised exercise plans help reduce inflammation, improve joint support, and restore confidence in movement. Many women also benefit from heat therapy, pacing strategies, and lifestyle adjustments that we can guide you through.
🌸 If joint pain has crept in during perimenopause, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to just “put up with it.” With the right support, it’s absolutely possible to stay active, comfortable, and in control throughout this stage of life. 💪🙌🫶😊
