Strong is the new hormone balance

🩺 The decline in oestrogen during menopause is associated with

🔵 Accelerated loss of lean muscle mass (sarcopenia)
🔵 Reduced bone mineral density
🔵 Increased risk of falls,fractures & MSK injury
🔵 Changes in tendon & connective tissue health

BUT….

Evidence shows that progressive resistance training can

🔵 Preserve & increase muscle mass
🔵 Improve bone density & reduce fracture risk
🔵 Enhance joint stability & balance
🔵 Improve metabolic health & functional capacity

Programmes should be appropriately loaded, progressive & individualised, particularly for those with pain, previous injury or long periods of inactivity

For menopausal women isn’t really an option - it’s preventative healthcare

🩺 PREVENTION IS KEY

Pelvic Health isn’t just about treating symptoms, it’s about prevention, education & long term well being. Women’s pelvic health plays a vital role in comfort, confidence & day to day function yet it is often overlooked or normalised and more and more women are waiting until issues like leakage, pain or prolapse appear before seeking help.

Just like any other part of the body the pelvic floor benefits from early assessment & proactive care. Being proactive with your pelvic health can :

✔️ Reduce the risks of bladder & bower issues
✔️ Support your core, posture & movement
✔️ Improve confidence during exercise & daily life
✔️ Prepare your body for pregnancy, birth & recovery
✔️ Help manage changes through menopause
✔️ Reduce pain & improve function & quality of life

Booking an initial assessment with Jo Dafforn, a leading clinical specialist on women’s health with over 25 years experience, means she can identify early risk factors & provide personalised strategies to keep you moving comfortably & confidently

💡 Did you know…..?

🧐 One of the most common injuries detected on MSK ultrasound is rotator cuff tendinopathy—a frequent cause of shoulder pain, stiffness, and reduced movement

🩻 Often linked to repetitive use, posture, or gradual wear over time, this type of injury doesn't always show up on X-ray

💪 Ultrasound allows us to assess the muscles and tendons in real time, helping guide accurate diagnosis and next steps & early detection can make all the difference in recovery

If you’ve been ignoring that ni**le for a while now, we are ready to help
