Menopause MOT

We encourage all women to have a Specialist Physiotherapy check (sometimes called 'Menopause MOT') as soon as they have any concerns about their pelvic or musculoskeletal health.

​

Common complaints at this time can be symptoms of prolapse, urine or bowel incontinence, pelvic pain, dyspareunia (painful sex), musculoskeletal pain and osteoporosis. 

​

A specialist menopause physiotherapist check will include:

 

• Comprehensive medical history check to determine general and hormonal health. This will cover urinary and bowel function, pelvic health.

• Internal examination to assess internal pelvic health and pelvic floor function.

• Comprehensive musculoskeletal assessment of any pain or dysfunction.

• Comprehensive review of exercise levels and recommendations made based on hormonal health, bone density and cardiac health.
