The Benefits of Exercise and Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy During Perimenopause and Menopause

The journey through perimenopause and menopause can be a significant time of transition for women, often accompanied by a range of physical and emotional changes. Alongside the hormonal shifts, many women experience symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, changes in sleep patterns, and weight fluctuations. However, one of the less discussed, yet very common, issues faced during this time is the weakening of the overall strength, bone and pelvic health-related changes. Fortunately, with the right combination of exercise and pelvic floor physiotherapy, women can not only gain strength and improve overall well-being, but also address specific pelvic floor-related symptoms, enhancing their quality of life during perimenopause and menopause.
