Peri to Post Menopause Care

These sessions address any concerns about urine or stool leaking, heaviness in your pelvic floor, vaginal dryness, frequent bladder urge/frequency and pain with sexual intimacy. There are many factors that affect these symptoms such as a weak pelvic floor and inner core, a decline in hormonal levels as well as lifestyle issues such as sleep, stress, nutrition, and physical activity levels.

Pelvic Health Care

My goal is for you to have all your questions answered and address any concerns about urine or stool leaking, heaviness in your pelvic floor, vagianl dryness, frequent bladder urge/frequency and pain with sexual intimacy. There are many factors that affect these symptoms such as a weak pelvic floor and inner core, a decline in hormonal levels as well as lifestyle issues such as sleep, stress, nutrition, and physical activity levels.

Women in this stage of life can also experience low back and hip pain which again are affected by declining hormonal levels as well as the lifestyle issues described above. For this reason, assessing your hips and low back are also part of the assessment.

As you can imagine it takes a bit of time to assess all the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. The assessment may be done over a few visits so that we can determine what are the most important symptoms to address first and what treatment plan can fit into your life.

Pelvic Floor Exams

Do you need to have a pelvic floor exam? This is always your choice.

My goal is to assess how your inner core and pelvic floor muscles are working together and how they may be contributing to leaking, painful sex, low back and hip pain or vaginal pressure. We agree on the best way for you to feel the muscles and tissues, based on your comfort level.
