Menopause is a natural phase of life, but the physical changes that come with it can often feel anything but natural. Joint pain, muscle stiffness, digestive issues, TMJ discomfort, poor sleep, and headaches—these symptoms can make everyday life more challenging. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to suffer in silence. At Osteo Health Osteopathy Clinic, we offer a holistic, hands-on approach to help women navigate menopause with greater ease and comfort.
Why Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a gentle, drug-free therapy that focuses on restoring balance to the body. It addresses the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, circulatory system, and internal organs to promote natural healing and overall wellness. As your body adjusts to hormonal shifts, osteopathic treatments can ease discomfort, improve mobility, and enhance your overall quality of life.
How Osteopathy Supports Menopause-Related Changes
At Osteo Health Osteopathy Clinic, we specialize in treating perimenopausal, menopausal, and postmenopausal women with techniques designed to support your body through these transitions. Our treatments focus on:
1. Relieving Joint Pain & Stiffness
Hormonal fluctuations can lead to increased joint pain and inflammation.
Osteopathic manual therapy helps release muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and keep you moving comfortably.
“Motion is the lotion” – movement and gentle manipulation can work wonders in keeping your joints healthy.
2. Supporting Digestive & Pelvic Health
Many women experience acid reflux, bloating, and changes in digestion due to hormonal shifts.
Visceral osteopathy gently restores balance to the digestive system, alleviating bloating and reflux.
It also supports pelvic floor function, helping with urinary incontinence and overall pelvic health.
3. Reducing TMJ Pain, Headaches & Jaw Tension
Stress and hormonal changes can increase jaw tension, teeth grinding, and TMJ pain.
Osteopathic TMJ treatments relieve jaw discomfort, reduce headaches, and improve mobility.
Gentle craniosacral techniques help alleviate tension headaches and sinus blockages.
4. Improving Circulation, Lymphatic Drainage & Sleep
Poor sleep, night sweats, and restlessness are common during menopause.
Craniosacral osteopathy relaxes the nervous system, promoting deeper, more restful sleep.
Treatments also support lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling and improving circulation.
A Whole-Body Approach for Every Stage of Menopause
At Osteo Health, we recognize that every woman’s experience is unique. That’s why we tailor treatments to your specific needs—whether you’re struggling with chronic pain, muscle stiffness, TMJ dysfunction, digestive discomfort, or sleep disturbances.
Osteopathy works to restore your body’s natural balance so you can feel stronger, healthier, and more comfortable in your own skin—at every stage of life.
