Reduce Distressing Menopausal Symptoms

Some medical topics don't get the attention they should. Often, these discussions are classed as 'too awkward' to have, so they simply don't occur.

Menopause is a primary example of this. Far too many women feel nervous or uncomfortable talking about it. So, they suffer painful and unpleasant symptoms in silence. That's why it's so essential for us to open up the conversation.

Don't just 'put up with it'. With the help of our team, you can reduce distressing menopausal symptoms and feel more supported, calmer and happier in yourself.

Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor

Improve your pelvic floor function. Many women experience increased incontinence during the menopausal years. Therefore, it is a good idea to see a pelvic health specialist who will assess your pelvic floor and give you an appropriate exercise programme.

Improve Vaginal Dryness

For improved sexual function, use an effective organic lubricant or moisturiser, such as Yes or Sylk. Topical oestrogen can also help. If you continue experiencing pain during sex, see a pelvic health specialist for an assessment.

Exercise & Weight Management

If you haven't been exercising regularly, start gently and build up gradually. Include regular weight-bearing exercises in your routine, as this will promote good bone health. Exercise will also help you to build and maintain muscle strength, flexibility, and good mental health.

Get Some Sleep

Make sure you are getting adequate sleep and managing your stress or anxiety levels. To achieve this, try whatever works best for you, whether exercise, yoga, mindfulness, meditation, or any other uplifting activity. An increase in daily activity promotes a better quality of sleep.

Keep Your Bowels Healthy

Relieve constipation, wind, bloating and sometimes IBS-type symptoms with adequate water and fibre in your diet. Also, use a toilet stool for good bowel ergonomics and ensure you introduce at least 30 minutes of regular exercise per day.

Seek Medical Advice

Our pelvic health specialists offer an individualised pelvic floor programme and personal guidance on exercises and lifestyle modifications. The aim is to empower you to manage your menopausal symptoms better and improve your overall quality of life.

I was treated with respect and dignity, and my injury was treated carefully and gently. Pooja ensured that I received a treatment tailored to the specific muscles that were torn, rather than a generic treatment, and feel this will make a huge difference.

Monica's expertise was exceptional. She dedicated time to diagnose my condition and patiently instructed me on the exercises essential for my recovery. Her comforting demeanor during the session and thorough provision of information were greatly appreciated. Grateful for your help, Monica. 🙏

Monica saw my daughter who has painful verrucas on hands and feet. She was gentle, kind, and really good at explaining things so both my daughter and I knew what to expect. She came as a recommendation from another practice so that speaks volumes in itself. Highly recommend.
