REPOST FROM THE Australian Physiotherapy Association

___________

Almost 3 in 4 women experience joint or muscle pain in perimenopause, and women are 70% more likely than men to experience chronic pain.

This year’s World Menopause Day campaign theme is ‘CHRONIC PAIN AT MIDLIFE’, bringing together trusted information and guidance on how to support people going through this stage of life.

Chronic pain becomes more common during the menopause transition, yet it is significantly under researched.

Physiotherapists play a larger role in the menopause health journey than many may think.

Physiotherapy addresses the increased vulnerability of tendons, ligaments and joints during menopause. Focusing on strength, flexibility, and stability helps maintain musculoskeletal health and reduce pain and injury risk.

By providing targeted education and exercise prescription, physiotherapists can assist in slowing bone loss, enhance skeletal strength and maintain or improve muscle mass. This early intervention significantly reduces the risk of fractures and supports overall strength and function.

🌟 TEAM SPOTLIGHT 🌟

The other week one of our hand therapists, Jamie, went across to Perth for the AHTA national conference. A record of 530 hand therapists attended in person or online across Australia to hear from national and international speakers in hand therapy practice.

Jamie was also able to do some sightseeing, cycling the long empty roads of Rotness Island and some time enjoying Perth City while he was in Western Australia.

We are also pleased to announce that Jamie has been appointed a position on the AHTA credentialing council. This means Jamie will have a key role in ensuring the continued standard of hand therapists across Australia.

We are very fortunate to have such assets amount our team here at Coastal Physio and Hand Therapy! Go Jamie!
