Empowering Women Through Every Stage of Life
As women transition through perimenopause and menopause, they often encounter a variety of changes that can impact pelvic health and overall well-being. Our specialized pelvic floor physical therapy services are designed to support women during this important life stage, offering tailored care to address the unique challenges they may face.
Perimenopause marks the transitional phase leading up to menopause, typically beginning in a woman's 40s but can start earlier for some. During this time, hormone levels fluctuate, leading to a range of physical and emotional changes, including:
Hormonal Shifts: Declining estrogen levels can affect the health and function of pelvic tissues, muscles, and organs.
Pelvic Floor Changes: Changes in hormone levels can impact the strength and tone of pelvic floor muscles, leading to symptoms such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and pelvic pain.
Bone Health: Decreased estrogen levels can also affect bone density, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
Sexual Health: Changes in hormone levels and pelvic anatomy can influence sexual desire, arousal, and comfort during intercourse.
All of these symptoms and experiences are things you don’t have to accept as a part of your new normal. We’d love to help you.
At Cappuccino Physical Therapy, we understand the unique challenges women face during perimenopause and menopause.
Our pelvic floor physical therapy services are designed to provide compassionate care and effective solutions to help women navigate this important life transition with confidence and comfort and we’d love to support you on your journey through perimenopause and menopause.
