Why Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Matters during Menopause

As a woman, you understand the importance of taking care of your overall health. However, one aspect that is often overlooked, yet critical, is the health of your pelvic floor. Menopause is a transformative stage in a woman's life, and its impact on your body can be significant. That's why we wrote this blog post to share valuable insights about the benefits of seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist during menopause.

Why Pelvic Floor Health Matters During Menopause:

  1. Combat Vaginal Dryness and Discomfort: Menopause often brings about hormonal changes that can lead to vaginal dryness, itching, and discomfort. A pelvic floor physical therapist can provide targeted exercises and techniques to enhance blood flow and promote vaginal health, helping you regain comfort.

  2. Address Urinary Incontinence and Frequency: Changes in estrogen levels during menopause can affect the strength and elasticity of pelvic floor muscles, leading to issues such as urinary incontinence and increased frequency. Our physical therapists provide a comprehensive head to to and pelvic floor exam in order to guide you through exercises to strengthen these muscles, reducing or eliminating these concerns.

  3. Enhance Sexual Well-being: Menopause may impact sexual health due to changes in vaginal elasticity and comfort. Pelvic floor physical therapy can address these concerns, providing exercises and strategies to improve sexual well-being, making intimacy more enjoyable and pain-free.

  4. Prevent Prolapse and Support Organ Health: Weakened pelvic floor muscles can contribute to pelvic organ prolapse. Pelvic floor physical therapy aims to strengthen these muscles, providing support to pelvic organs and preventing potential issues.
