Physiotherapy for Menopause Related Conditions
At Barbican Physio, we provide menopause physiotherapy in London to support women experiencing the physical and musculoskeletal effects of perimenopause and menopause.
Menopause and perimenopause can drive an increase in general symptoms and musculoskeletal pain, partly since our connective tissues are affected by the change in hormones throughout this period. Symptoms experienced during the perimenopause and menopause can be very difficult, making it difficult to have the energy to exercise alongside the physical requirement to do more to maintain your health. This can happen even if you have access to excellent specialists who will find the right pharmaceuticals to help manage your symptoms through the transition and sometimes beyond.
Priorities around health and the maintenance of health change, and change towards the maintenance of muscle and bone mass, flexibility and balance.
How a Menopausal Physiotherapist in London Can Help
The term musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause describes a range of muscle, joint and connective tissue symptoms associated with hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause. These can include joint pain, stiffness, reduced strength and changes in mobility, which may affect everyday activities and exercise.
A menopausal physiotherapist in London can help assess these symptoms and their impact on your physical health. At Barbican Physio, treatment may include targeted exercises, strength training, movement advice and personalised rehabilitation to support mobility, function and long-term wellbeing.
Physiotherapy can also help women feel more confident about staying active and managing musculoskeletal symptoms through midlife.
Pelvic Floor Health and Bladder Issues During Menopause
Changes during menopause can also affect pelvic floor function and bladder control. Some women experience symptoms such as urgency, leakage or other bladder issues, which can have a significant impact on confidence and quality of life.
Specialist physiotherapy can help assess and manage symptoms linked to pelvic floor dysfunction and incontinence. Treatment may include pelvic floor rehabilitation, guided exercises and practical advice tailored to your symptoms and lifestyle.
Early assessment and targeted treatment can often help improve symptoms and support long-term pelvic health.
