Menopause, Midlife & Movement

What you need to know – and what to do next

If you’re here after our Menopause, Midlife & Movement event, the main thing to take away is this – what you’re experiencing isn’t random – and it’s not something you have to just put up with.

During perimenopause and menopause, your body goes through real physical changes that affect strength, bone health, energy and recovery. That’s often why things start to feel different, even if your routine hasn’t changed.

What actually matters

A few things are worth keeping front of mind:

Menopause isn’t just hormonal – it affects your muscles, joints and bones
Changes in strength, stiffness and recovery are common
What you do during this stage has a direct impact on your long-term health
Staying active helps, but targeted strength training is what really makes the difference

There’s good evidence behind this.

Research like the LIFTMOR trial (2015) has shown that supervised strength training – including heavier lifting and some impact work – can improve bone density, increase strength and support overall function in postmenopausal women.

Where you’re at now and what to do next

If you completed the strength and movement checks on the night, you’ve already got a really useful starting point.

The next step is knowing what to do with that – how to build on it, and where to focus.

We work with women through this stage to help turn that insight into a clear, structured plan to improve strength, movement and long-term health.

If you’re looking to build on what you learned, you can book in with our team to:

review your results
understand what they mean for you
and put together a plan that fits your body and your goals

If you didn’t get a chance to complete the checks on the night, we can take you through a more detailed assessment as part of that process.
