Learn about reproductive hormones, genitourinary syndrome, and the physiological changes that occur during menopause.
-
Explore hormone replacement therapy (HRT) options, along with strategies for managing bladder, bowel, and sexual health symptoms.
-
Learn how menopause can affect daily roles and participation, as well as how to recognize when additional support or care may be helpful.

Discuss strategies for maintaining long-term pelvic health, advocating for appropriate care, and exploring non-traditional options for symptom support.
Current patients can talk with their PT or OT, or contact our front desk to reserve a spot in the series.
