Menopause Symptoms
Menopause manifests differently for each individual, with symptoms extending beyond hot flashes, weight gain, night sweats, and sleep disturbances.
Possible symptoms during menopause include vaginal or vulvar dryness, burning, itching, sexual difficulty, pain during sex, increased urinary tract infections, pelvic floor muscle weakness, pelvic floor muscle overactivity, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, mood swings, tendon health, osteoporosis, cardiac health, and musculoskeletal pain.
Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may persist for months or longer, significantly impacting one’s quality of life.
The severity of physical symptoms can be influenced by current health conditions, lifestyle factors, and other variables.
Physical therapy in Brooklyn offers a promising solution, as it can greatly reduce or eliminate menopausal symptoms.

What You Can Count On
At the Onset of Physical Therapy
Following our conversation, we will perform a physical examination, which may include a hands-on assessment tailored to your specific symptoms. As part of the initial evaluation, we may conduct an external and internal pelvic floor examination to identify the root causes of your pain and dysfunction. Our goal is to alleviate your discomfort and improve your overall well-being.
During the evaluation, your Beyond Basics PT in Brooklyn will provide you with exercises to begin at home. These exercises are designed to address your specific needs and support your recovery process.
We prioritize your comfort as a patient, and it is important to know that you have the right to refuse any treatment at any time without the need for an explanation. We are here to support and guide you throughout your therapy journey.
At Your Recurring Therapy Appointments
It is worth noting that many individuals experience an improvement in symptoms within 8 weeks or even earlier. We are dedicated to working with you to achieve your goals and help you find relief as efficiently as possible.
