Description

At the doctor’s office, everyone gets the standard pamphlet on all the other health related issues that will arise during a woman’s life: puberty, safer sex, pregnancy, pap smears…but they never seem to have one for menopause. Yet most women will tell you, entering menopause equates to serious changes for their overall state of well-being.

This session was curated in a flash – a hot flash.

It is time that we take things into our own hands and understand that there are things we can do to age well and on our own terms.

Jessica Hill, PT, DPT, MSPT, CSCS, SFMA, FMS, will explore the physiological changes that occur and how these changes can impact both our physical performance and overall health. You will learn powerful strategies to combat the fear surrounding menopause and keep your patients striving to be their best.

You’ll explore the targeted interventions that directly address the key musculoskeletal changes that typically accompany menopause: increased visceral fat and decreased bone mineral density, muscle mass and strength. You will uncover actionable exercise strategies to secure a physiological edge in aging optimally.
