Menopause

Menopause and perimenopause marks a period of change in every woman's life. Hormonal fluctuations can have a great impact both physically and mentally affecting things such as mood, sleep, joint pains, tendon pains, urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and pain with intercourse. 

Appropriate support and advice can ease this transition while early detection and treatment of pelvic floor issues and musculoskeletal pains is essential for aiding you along this journey. 

What to expect from a menopause assessment:

• Detailed medical history taking and experience of menopause symptoms 
• Detailed conversation of lifestyle including exercise, sleep and stress management 
• Screening for musculoskeletal (muscle and joint) issues 
• Screening for bladder, bowel, sexual dysfunction and pelvic organ prolapse
• Musculoskeletal assessment of muscle strength and function
• Internal vaginal assessment on pelvic floor power, endurance, coordination and prolapse
• Individualised rehabilitation program and lifestyle/exercise advice
