From Hot Flushes to Hip Pain: When Hormones Hit the Clinic: Physiotherapy skills for women in perimenopause and beyond


Hormonal fluctuations that begin in the mid-30s can significantly affect clinical presentations in the physiotherapy clinic, with symptoms such as pain, injury, fatigue, and delayed recovery often linked to hormonal changes rather than isolated tissue pathology.

This session trains physiotherapists to understand the musculoskeletal and systemic effects of perimenopause and post menopause, including how to adjust assessment, treatment, and exercise protocols.

Gain practical, evidence-based strategies to confidently support women through the midlife transition.

Sexuality has long been an overlooked aspect of rehabilitation. Multiple studies show that clients report sexuality to be as important as prior to their injury/ illness but is often not addressed as a routine part of rehabilitation.

By the end of this webinar you will be able to:

· Address sexuality as part of routine screening and initial assessment
· Understand common sexuality concerns following SCI and neurological injury/ illness
· Identify a range of interventions available to support sexuality concerns
· Develop a broad understanding of the role psychosexual therapy as a member of the multidisciplinary team

This course encompasses the differential diagnosis, assessment and management of the cervical spine and shoulder. It aims to integrate research evidence with best clinical practice and is designed to improve participants' ability to differentially diagnose contributing mechanisms and impairments in patients presenting with pain in the upper quadrant, with consideration of cervical, neural and shoulder structures. A broader range of clinical examination techniques and advanced clinical reasoning and management options will be covered.

Presented by specialist physiotherapist Caroline Callister from Restore Therapy UK, this comprehensive course will provide you with confidence and competence to integrate scar therapy techniques to promote improved function and comfort for patients recovering from any surgery, or trauma including burn.

The training includes online theory, two highly practical days of skills development and a post-course case study requirement (2 x 2 treatments) with a library of resources (available for 12 months). A live online lesson for peer-to-peer outcome sharing and an opportunity for any outstanding questions.

• Specialist scar massage with adaptions for scar classifications, symptoms and stage of maturation
• Active and passive scar stretch
• Negative Pressure Therapy for scars (cupping)
• Intraoral techniques for facial and neck injuries
• Kinesiology taping taster for scar development
• Self-scar care
