Menopause in Seacoast, NH

Menopause is more than just hot flashes—it’s a major life transition that affects your bone health, muscle strength, sleep quality, and emotional well-being. Yet, so many women feel blindsided by these changes, wondering why no one warned them about the toll it can take on daily life.

At Ability Allies in Seacoast, NH, we help women take control of menopause-related symptoms through specialized physical therapy programs. From joint pain and bladder control issues to bone density loss and fatigue, our non-hormonal, evidence-based treatments give you the tools to navigate this stage of life with strength, confidence, and vitality.

Why Menopause Disrupts Your Body—And How PT Can Help

As estrogen declines, your body undergoes significant changes, impacting everything from bone density and pelvic floor function to flexibility and balance. Research shows that women can lose up to 20% of their bone density within the first 5-7 years of menopause, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

Yet, the right targeted exercises, pelvic floor therapy, and movement strategies can prevent or reverse many of these changes.

Common Menopause Symptoms Physical Therapy Can Address:

• Bone & Joint Health: Prevent bone loss, relieve joint stiffness, and maintain flexibility.
• Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: Reduce urinary incontinence and strengthen your core foundation.
• Sleep Disturbances: Improve sleep hygiene and manage night sweats for restorative rest.
• Balance & Mobility Issues: Prevent falls and maintain your independence.
• Muscle Strength & Endurance: Combat muscle loss with targeted resistance training.
• Mood & Energy Levels: Boost mood and manage stress naturally with movement therapy.
