Programs For Menopause & Aging-Related Conditions
Osteoporosis
Goal: Improve bone density and muscle strength to reduce fracture risk.
- Weight-Bearing Exercises – Walking, stair climbing, and functional movements to stimulate bone growth.
- Resistance Training – Light weights, resistance bands, and bodyweight exercises to strengthen hips, spine, and core.
- Progressive Overload – Gradually increasing intensity to support long-term bone health.
Goal: Reduce the risk of falls, which can lead to fractures.
- Static & Dynamic Balance Drills – Single-leg stands, stepping drills, and functional movement training.
- Gait Training – Improving walking mechanics and step confidence.
- Reaction Time & Coordination – Exercises to enhance stability and quick recovery from missteps.
Goal: Prevent kyphosis (hunched posture) and reduce spinal compression fractures.
- Postural Awareness Exercises – Teaching neutral spine alignment for daily activities.
- Thoracic Extension Work – Strengthening the back muscles to prevent slouching.
- Core & Hip Strengthening – Building core stability to support the spine and improve balance.
Goal: Reduce stiffness, improve flexibility, and manage osteoporosis-related pain.
- Gentle Stretching – Improves hip, back, and joint mobility.
- Manual Therapy (if needed) – Hands-on techniques to ease muscle tension and improve movement.
- Breathing & Relaxation Techniques – Helps manage stress-related tension, which can contribute to pain.
Since we provide mobile physical therapy, we assess your home environment and develop a customized exercise routine to fit your lifestyle. This ensures long-term bone health, strength, and mobility.

- Core & Deep Abdominal Activation – Engages the transverse abdominis to support the pelvic floor.
- Resistance Training – Uses vaginal weights or resistance bands for strengthening.
Goal: Reduce tension and improve coordination for pain-free function.
- Diaphragmatic Breathing – Encourages relaxation of the pelvic floor.
- Stretching & Mobility Exercises – Hip openers, child’s pose, deep squats.
- Manual Therapy & Myofascial Release – Hands-on techniques to release tightness.

Post-Hysterectomy & Surgical Recovery
Goal for Weeks 1–6 Post-Surgery: Reduce pain, improve circulation, and support healing.
- Breathing Exercises – Diaphragmatic breathing to prevent scar tissue restrictions and improve pelvic floor relaxation.
- Gentle Core Activation – Engaging the deep core muscles (transverse abdominis) without straining.
- Pelvic Floor Awareness – Learning how to relax and gently reconnect with pelvic muscles.
- Postural Adjustments – Encouraging neutral spine alignment to reduce pressure on healing tissues.
- Scar Management (If Applicable) – Gentle techniques to reduce adhesions and improve mobility.
Goal for Weeks 6–12+: Restore strength, stability, and function.
- Pelvic Floor Strengthening (if needed) – Kegels & functional core work to support pelvic organs.
- Diastasis Recti & Core Recovery – Progressive exercises to safely rebuild abdominal strength.
- Mobility & Stretching – Gentle hip, spine, and pelvic mobility to prevent stiffness and pain.
- Bladder & Bowel Training – Strategies to manage urgency, constipation, or leakage.
Goal: Rebuild strength, prevent future issues, and regain independence.
