Pelvic Health and Menopause

The menopause transition can be a time of unpredictability as there are many physical changes and significant life milestones happening simultaneously.  These changes can greatly impact the tissues of the bladder, vagina, and pelvic floor muscles which can result in symptoms.  Changes in estrogen also affect bone health and cardiovascular health for which exercise plays a critical role.  A pelvic floor physical therapist can help you to address symptoms with a holistic mindset and help to provide strategies to optimize bone health, cardiovascular health, and wellbeing during this transitional phase.
