Peri/Post Menopause

Finding Relief from Peri/Post Menopause Symptoms in Wilmington, NC

Peri/post menopause is a natural transition for women, but it can bring about a range of physical and emotional changes that impact daily life. At LMS Physical Therapy in Wilmington, NC, we specialize in helping women navigate this phase with personalized physical therapy.

Peri/post menopause can bring about a variety of symptoms, including:

• Hot flashes: Sudden feelings of intense heat.
• Mood swings: Increased irritability, anxiety, or depression.
• Sleep disturbances: Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
• Weight gain: Changes in metabolism and hormonal fluctuations can contribute to weight gain.
• Muscle weakness and loss of bone density: Decreased estrogen levels can lead to muscle weakness and increased risk of osteoporosis.
• Urinary incontinence: Changes in pelvic floor function can contribute to urinary incontinence.

Physical therapy can play a crucial role in managing these challenges by:

• Improving Strength and Balance: Targeted exercises can help strengthen muscles, improve balance, and reduce the risk of falls.
• Addressing Urinary Incontinence: Pelvic floor physical therapy can strengthen pelvic floor muscles, improving bladder control and reducing leakage.
• Managing Weight: Our therapists can guide you in developing safe and effective exercise programs to support weight management goals.
• Boosting Mood and Reducing Stress: Regular exercise can significantly improve mood, reduce stress levels, and enhance sleep quality.
• Alleviating Hot Flashes: Certain exercises and relaxation techniques can help regulate body temperature and reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes.
