Menopause
Menopause MOT
A Menopause MOT can help you identify and understand symptoms, and find out what to expect as your hormones change. Physiotherapy for Menopause can change your life and alleviate your symptoms. The menopause starts when the levels of oestrogen in your body start to fluctuate and drop. These changes can impact both your body AND your brain. They affect each person differently, meaning your Menopause journey is as unique as you are.
The menopause is a journey NOT an illness! It will impact each woman differently, some may sail through it, whilst others may have life altering symptoms. That’s why we believe a Menopause MOT is a positive and uplifting service – it’s all about empowering you to live your best life, with the knowledge and tools you need to navigate this life change.
Your Menopause MOT will cover one or more of these phases:
Perimenopause
A Menopause MOT is suitable if you’re in Perimenopause. This is the stage before the menopause when symptoms begin to appear. It can start a few months to years before your periods stop and can persist for quite some time. Women, on average, experience perimenopausal symptoms from 45 years old. However, symptoms can start as early as your 20s or be as late as your 60s. This can happen naturally or be quite sudden due to surgery and/or illness.
Menopause
The menopause is the actual day that marks 12 consecutive months (to the day) you have not had your period. Mark it in the diary, celebrate! Have a Menopause party! You’ve arrived!
Post Menopausal
The post-menopause is a new chapter in your life. It starts the very next day after the menopause and lasts for the rest of your life! During this time, many of the bothersome perimenopausal symptoms you may have experienced gradually decrease over the following years. Along with the physical changes that occur after the menopause, post-menopausal women are at increased risk of a number of health conditions, such as osteoporosis, joint and breast pain and heart disease. That’s why our Menopause MOT is such an important service.
