Today’s episode is covering a pretty hot topic - menopause!
As women, we will ALL be experiencing menopause at some point in our lives, so it’s exciting to see it *finally* getting the attention it deserves.
As pelvic floor physical therapists, we’ve seen firsthand the transformative effects of pelvic floor muscle training, combined with vaginal moisturizers. In today’s episode, we’re talking about the role of pelvic floor therapy in managing menopausal symptoms. We’re diving into how genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) affects women, why vaginal moisturizers can be a gamechanger, recent, groundbreaking research done on menopausal women combining pelvic floor therapy + vaginal moisturizer, and more.
Women are continuing to be researched more and more, which is very exciting; up until recently, that wasn’t the case. We’re honored to be part of a field that plays a key role in treatment for periods like postpartum and menopause, and really, long-term wellness!
We recognize that menopause can bring a whole slew of symptoms for the body, but it doesn’t have to feel super discouraging, either. We hope this episode shows you that you CAN navigate this life stage with grace and confidence, and that getting personalized, expert support will go a long way, too!
