Physio Talk with Cove Physio Director Kate Starling  

Kate Starling is holding a Menopause and Pre-Menopausal Health and Wellness session on Saturday 22 July at the Country Club which is free for all Members to attend. Complimentary fruit platters will be served at the conclusion of the event.

For something that affects approximately 50% of us, menopause is still hugely under-recognised and misunderstood. Whilst it’s garnered more attention recently, we at Cove Physiotherapy believe that we should be talking about it more. Menopause can have a significant effect on our bodies which can increase the chances of injury such as soft tissue tears and sprains. It can also lead to osteoporosis which can be a major cause of fractures. 

This talk will be full of information to help you understand the menopause and to understand what you can do to help yourself. This talk is not just for women who have gone through the menopause. It’s for each woman because all of us will be affected at some point in our lives. Ladies, this one’s for you, so please come along – men are also welcome.
