Following the consultation findings, we will recommend an integrated lifestyle and exercise programme to maintain and improve your pelvic and core strength.
A Menopause MOT is a one-hour, physiotherapy-led consultation that gives women approaching or experiencing menopause a comprehensive pelvic health and lifestyle check. It includes an in-depth medical history, a review of symptoms and goals, a pelvic health check, and observation of posture, functional movement, breath and core strength.
We recommend all women have a Menopause MOT around the age of 50, or as they approach menopause. The aim is preventative — addressing pelvic floor, musculoskeletal and lifestyle issues early so they don’t develop into more significant problems later in life.
The one-hour consultation includes a FREE 20-minute PelviPower session, an in-depth medical history, a list of symptoms and goals, pelvic health questions on bladder, bowel and sexual function, a weekly exercise plan covering cardio and strength training, and observation of posture, balance, breath and core strength.
You will be asked to complete a pre-screen in advance. Please bring any blood tests, hormonal profile results, recent MRIs or medical screenings, bone density scans, and diaries you keep for sleep, exercise, hot flushes and mood. The more information available, the more tailored your plan will be.
Yes. Hormonal changes during menopause can affect the pelvic floor, bone density, posture and muscle strength. Physiotherapy can help manage symptoms such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, joint stiffness and reduced strength, and a tailored exercise programme can support bone and cardiovascular health.
Following the consultation, your practitioner will recommend an integrated lifestyle and exercise programme to maintain and improve your pelvic and core strength. This is bespoke to you and may include physiotherapy sessions, PelviPower training, exercise advice and lifestyle adjustments.
