Physiotherapy Helps better in managing Menopause?


Looking at the women of the modern age, makes people wonder about how they have come a long way in a few decades. They have and still are revolutionizing the world around us. From freedom to gender equality, to creating equal opportunity in the world to authority, women have accomplished a lot. The modern women that we see today are confident, highly accomplished, and self-made. But apart from being a high achiever, a woman is much more than that. She is 24X7 on duty as a nurturer, giver, mother, daughter, sister, wife, grandmother, aunt, and whatnot. No matter what role she plays, her duties and responsibilities are never-ending.

But in this never-ending job, she neglects the most important person in her life, “herself”. And this self-neglect results in several health conditions. Although science has advanced a lot and has treatments and solutions for these medical conditions, there are certain conditions that will be better and more helpful, if you cure or manage them with physiotherapy at Physiorevive.


Menopause is one such condition that every woman has to go through along with various other changes such as emotional, physical and hormonal. Physiotherapy can help address the symptoms of menopause easily.


● Understand your Symptoms Going for physiotherapy will help you understand the symptoms clearly. Just like the nature of these cycles, the symptoms too can vary from woman to woman. And that is why, it is better to let the therapist analyze the condition, rather than juxtaposing yourself with another woman trying to figure it out yourself and risking everything.

● Obesity & Insomnia One of the things that physiotherapy treats the best is obesity and insomnia, and also hot flashes. These things can be major effects of menopause or even PCOD. If you are not comfortable at the clinic then you can opt for physiotherapy at home. It involves a lot of customized physical movement including specific exercises, stretching & active exercises including aerobics, therapeutic soft tissue manipulation etc. These movements will not only relax your nerves but will also be responsible for fatigue, resulting in weight loss and sound sleep.

● Osteoporosis When a woman goes through menopause, she goes through a series of hormonal changes that results in loss of tissues. This causes her bones to become weaker and brittle. In this case, one needs to cope with the load that the body exerts on the bones. This can be achieved through stretching, resistance training, weight training, running, etc. These exercises will help strengthen the bones and make them immune to bodily weight.

● Joint & Muscle Pains The rigidity and stiffness of the body lead to joint pain, muscle pain, and several other bodily aches. Physiorevive offers therapies that focus on specific conditions & it aim at strengthening muscles and smoothen joint movement. Reduction in the load on joints and muscles is really imperative to reduce the pain. Physiotherapy will also help to relax muscles.

● Urinary Inconsistency Another symptom and the most common effect of menopause is urinary inconsistency also known as overactive bladder. In simple terms, it is an inability of the bladder to control the flow of urine, this is caused because of the weaker pelvic floor muscles. There are physical therapy including specific exercises that focus particularly on strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. This will help in controlling the condition of the overactive bladder.
