MMOA Podcast - Physical Therapy | Fitness | Geriatrics

Yup that’s right. There are a LOT of parallels between breastfeeding and menopause. Both times in a females life are hallmarked but estrogen deficiency. What this means is that some of the common complaints we see in breastfeeding, we also see in menopause. Things such as: 🙈V@g1nal dryness 🙈 Pain with $3x 🙈 An increase in pelvic floor dysfunctions 🙈Accelerated bone mineral density loss Therefore there is a LOT we can do to help the postmenopausal female and yet there isn’t as much attention being paid to this space. In today’s episode, Christina_prevett talks about these similarities, talks about how we can help and gives a call to action for our clinicians ❤️ Want to make sure you stay on top of all things geriatrics?
