💬 CHRONIC PAIN & MENOPAUSE: IT’S MORE COMPLEX THAN YOU THINK
As a trained Menopause Movement Coach, I understand that menopause doesn’t look or feel the same for everyone. And when it comes to chronic pain, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.
🦴 Aching joints, stiff muscles, persistent back pain, headaches, migraines and widespread body pain can all be part of the picture. For some clients, genitourinary symptoms, including vaginal dryness and pain during s*x, can also affect their comfort, confidence and quality of life.
But here's the thing… 👇
Chronic pain is multifaceted, and so is the menopause experience.
Hormonal changes, disrupted sleep, changes in body composition and the complex ways our bodies process pain can all influence how symptoms present and how they impact everyday life.
As a trained Menopause Movement Coach, I have evidence-informed training to help me understand these intricacies and recognise that every client brings their own unique combination of symptoms, experiences and challenges. 🧠
✨ I know how important it is to:
▪️Listen to my clients and take their experiences seriously.
▪️Recognise how symptoms can overlap and affect movement, exercise, sleep, confidence and daily activities.
▪️Adapt exercise and support to the individual, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
▪️Understand my scope of practice and when to signpost clients to a GP or another appropriate healthcare professional for further assessment and evidence-based support.
Because supporting someone through menopause isn't simply about telling them to exercise more or push through the pain.
It's about understanding the person in front of you, meeting them where they are and helping them feel heard, supported and empowered. 🤝
🎓 This is why specialist menopause education matters.
As a Menopause Movement Coach and Advanced Clinical Massage Therapist I have the knowledge and confidence to support clients through the complexities of menopause, including chronic pain, with informed strategies and appropriate signposting.
🤩 Better knowledge - Better conversations - More individualised support.
Because every client deserves to be understood, not just their symptoms. 🤲🏻
Changing menopause support for you one step at a time! 🫶
