Feel Strong & Confident Through Menopause

How Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Can Support You in This New Chapter

Menopause is a powerful and natural transition, usually arriving between the ages of 45 and 55. While it marks the end of menstrual cycles and fertility, it can also bring physical and emotional shifts that may leave you feeling disconnected from your body.

If you’ve found yourself wondering, “Is this normal?” when you experience things like bladder leaks, vaginal dryness, or pelvic pressure—you’re not alone. And you absolutely don’t have to just live with it.

The Connection Between Menopause & Pelvic Health

One thing many women aren’t told is how closely menopause is tied to pelvic floor changes. As estrogen levels drop, the tissues in and around the pelvic region can become thinner, less elastic, and weaker. This can lead to symptoms that impact your everyday comfort and confidence.

Some of the most common issues include:

• Vaginal dryness and irritation – due to thinning tissues and reduced natural lubrication

• Urinary incontinence or urgency – often caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles

• Pelvic organ prolapse – a sensation of heaviness or pressure in the pelvis

• Pain during intimacy – resulting from dryness or muscle tension
  

If any of these sound familiar, know this: they’re common, but they’re also highly treatable.

What Is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy And How Can It Help?

Pelvic floor physical therapy (PT) is a gentle, non-invasive approach to addressing menopause-related symptoms. It’s personalized, empowering, and focused on helping you feel at home in your body again.

Here’s what pelvic physical therapy at Freya Wellness Co. might include:

1. Personalized Pelvic Floor Exercises

Your therapist will guide you through specific movements to strengthen or relax the pelvic floor, depending on your needs. These exercises can reduce leaks, improve core stability, and ease discomfort.

2. Bladder & Bowel Training

You’ll learn simple but effective strategies to manage urgency, frequency, and even accidental leaks—helping you regain control of your daily life.

3. Manual Therapy

Hands-on techniques can release muscle tension, improve circulation, and relieve pelvic discomfort, especially helpful for those experiencing pain or tightness.

4. Education & Lifestyle Coaching

Small shifts in posture, movement, and breathing patterns can significantly impact your pelvic health. Your therapist will help you integrate supportive habits into your routine.

5. Sexual Wellness Support

Pelvic PT isn’t just about function—it’s about pleasure and connection, too. We’ll work with you to reduce pain during intimacy, address dryness, and improve confidence in your body.

6. Core & Postural Strengthening

Your core is a key player in pelvic health. We’ll help you build strength and stability that supports your entire body, not just your pelvis.

Take a Moment for Yourself

Right now, take a deep breath. Notice how your body feels. So often we push through discomfort without pausing to ask: What do I need?

Menopause can feel like uncharted territory but with the right support, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Pelvic floor therapy offers more than symptom relief. It’s a chance to reconnect with yourself, feel strong in your body, and move through this phase with clarity and confidence.
