Menopause Joint Pain Treatment in Mosley Common, Worsley & Walkden

Aching Joints During Perimenopause or Menopause?

Many women are surprised to discover that joint pain can be a symptom of perimenopause and menopause.

At Revive Physio, I regularly see women experiencing new aches, stiffness and pain who had never previously struggled with their joints.

Common Symptoms

✔ Morning stiffness

✔ Aching knees

✔ Hip pain

✔ Shoulder pain

✔ Neck pain

✔ Hand and thumb pain

✔ Generalised joint discomfort

Why Does Menopause Cause Joint Pain?

Oestrogen plays an important role in supporting healthy joints, muscles and connective tissues.

As hormone levels change during perimenopause and menopause, many women notice:

• Increased stiffness

• Reduced flexibility

• Slower recovery

• Increased aches and pains

• Reduced muscle strength

Common Areas Affected

Shoulders

Including frozen shoulder.

Hips

Particularly pain on the outside of the hip.

Knees

Pain, stiffness and reduced mobility.

Hands

Often affecting the base of the thumb.

You Don't Have To Just Put Up With It

The good news is there are often effective strategies that can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
