Menopause & Pelvic Health: It’s Time for a Reboot
How Menopause Impacts Pelvic Health
Menopause marks an important transition in a woman’s life — but it also brings changes that can impact pelvic health in ways many aren’t prepared for.
As estrogen levels naturally decline, the tissues of the pelvic floor and vagina can become thinner, drier, and less elastic. These hormonal shifts can lead to:
Urinary incontinence: Leaking with coughing, sneezing, or exercise.
Vaginal dryness or discomfort: Which can make intimacy painful.
Pelvic pressure or pain: Due to weakened muscles and connective tissues.
Changes in bowel function: Including constipation or difficulty emptying.
While these symptoms are common, they’re not something you have to simply “deal with.” They’re signals that your body is adapting — and that your pelvic floor may need a little extra support during this stage of life.
The Importance of a Pelvic Health Reboot
Menopause is the perfect time for a pelvic health reboot — a chance to reconnect with your body, strengthen your foundation, and restore balance.
Your pelvic floor muscles play a critical role in supporting your bladder, bowel, and sexual health. When these muscles are strong, coordinated, and flexible, they help you move confidently and comfortably in your daily life.
Pelvic floor therapy during menopause can:
Reduce urinary leakage and urgency
Improve vaginal comfort and blood flow
Strengthen the core and stabilize the pelvis
Relieve pelvic and lower back pain
Enhance confidence and quality of life
At ATL Pelvic Health, we take a whole-person approach to helping women thrive through every stage of menopause. Our goal isn’t just symptom relief — it’s helping you feel strong, capable, and connected to your body again.
What to Expect from Pelvic Floor Therapy
Your first session at ATL Pelvic Health begins with a comprehensive evaluation to understand your unique needs and goals. From there, we design a personalized plan that may include:
Pelvic floor and core assessment: Understanding how your muscles are functioning and identifying areas of weakness or tension.
Gentle internal or external techniques: To release tightness, improve mobility, and restore healthy blood flow.
Targeted strengthening and relaxation exercises: To retrain your muscles for better control and coordination.
Lifestyle and posture education: Guidance on hydration, bowel/bladder habits, sexual wellness, and movement strategies to support daily comfort.
You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your body and a step-by-step plan to move forward — because your pelvic health is foundational to your overall well-being.
Menopause is a new chapter — and with the right support, it can be one of strength, confidence, and renewal.
