Specialist Pelvic and Musculoskeletal Care During Menopause

Menopause is a natural stage of life, but the physical changes that come with it can have a significant impact on how your body feels and functions. At The Pelvic Health Studio in Marylebone, we provide specialist physiotherapy support to help women navigate these changes with confidence.

Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause can affect the pelvic floor, joints, muscles and connective tissues. Many women notice new symptoms or changes in their body that they were not expecting. These may affect bladder control, comfort during movement, sexual health or overall strength.

Our approach is focused on understanding these changes and providing personalised support to help you maintain strength, mobility and wellbeing throughout midlife and beyond.

Menopause support at The Pelvic Health Studio focuses on how hormonal changes influence the body, particularly the pelvic floor, abdominal muscles and musculoskeletal system.

As oestrogen levels change, tissues can become more sensitive, less elastic and more prone to strain. This can affect:

  • Pelvic floor strength and coordination
  • Joint stability and comfort
  • Muscle tone and recovery
  • Bladder and bowel function
  • Overall movement and posture

Physiotherapy aims to support these changes through targeted assessment and treatment. This may include pelvic floor rehabilitation, strength training, movement advice and lifestyle guidance.

The goal is to help you maintain physical resilience and feel more in control of your body.

Menopause support is suitable for women at different stages of the menopausal transition, including perimenopause, menopause and post menopause.

You may benefit from support if you:

  • Have noticed changes in bladder control
  • Experience joint stiffness or discomfort
  • Feel a reduction in strength or stability
  • Have new or worsening pelvic symptoms
  • Want to remain active during menopause
  • Are unsure how to adapt exercise safely
  • Want preventative guidance for long term health

Some women attend with specific symptoms, while others seek advice to stay strong and active as their body changes.

Hormonal changes during menopause can affect multiple systems within the body. At our Marylebone clinic, we commonly support women experiencing:

  • Urinary urgency or leakage
  • Pelvic floor weakness
  • Vaginal or pelvic discomfort
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Lower back or joint pain
  • Reduced core stability
  • Changes in posture or movement
  • Increased risk of injury during exercise
  • General stiffness or reduced flexibility

These symptoms are often interconnected, and understanding how they relate to each other is key to effective treatment.

Your appointment begins with a detailed conversation about your symptoms, health history and lifestyle. This allows your practitioner to understand how menopause is affecting your body and daily life.

Your assessment may include:

  • Postural and movement analysis
  • Core and abdominal assessment
  • Pelvic floor evaluation where appropriate and with your consent
  • Joint mobility and strength testing
  • Discussion of exercise habits and lifestyle factors

Following this, your practitioner will explain the findings and create a personalised treatment plan.

You may be given exercises, movement strategies and practical guidance to support your progress between sessions.

Menopause support physiotherapy can help you understand your body and respond to changes in a structured and effective way.

Treatment may help you:

  • Improve pelvic floor strength and function
  • Reduce bladder and pelvic symptoms
  • Maintain muscle strength and joint stability
  • Improve posture and movement
  • Stay active with confidence
  • Reduce discomfort during daily activities
  • Support long term musculoskeletal health

For many women, treatment provides reassurance as well as practical solutions.

The Pelvic Health Studio in Marylebone offers specialist care focused on women’s health across all life stages.

Patients choose us because:

  • Our team specialises in pelvic and abdominal health
  • We understand the physical impact of menopause
  • Care is tailored to your individual symptoms and goals
  • We provide clear, realistic guidance for long term wellbeing
  • The clinic environment is calm, supportive and discreet

Our aim is to help you feel strong, capable and supported throughout the menopausal transition.

Menopause is an ongoing stage of life rather than a short term condition, so support focuses on long term health rather than quick fixes.

Many women begin to notice improvements in strength, comfort and confidence within a few sessions. Over time, structured rehabilitation can help maintain mobility, reduce symptoms and support an active lifestyle.

Your treatment plan will evolve as your needs change, ensuring that you continue to feel supported and informed.
The goal is to help you move well, feel strong and maintain confidence in your body.
