Beyond Hot Flashes: The Importance of Understanding and Treating the Musculoskeletal System, the Pelvic Floor, and Gut During Menopause
Go beyond hot flashes to explore the broader health impacts of menopause. This interdisciplinary program examines the musculoskeletal system, pelvic floor, and gut, offering healthcare professionals a more comprehensive perspective on recognizing and addressing health needs during the menopause transition.
Target Audience
This activity is designed for the interdisciplinary team that cares for women in perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. That includes physicians in obstetrics and gynecology, family medicine, internal medicine, and sports medicine, along with nurse practitioners, registered nurses, physician assistants, pelvic health and orthopedic physical therapists, registered dietitians, and social workers and mental health professionals.
AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ is offered to physicians, and ANCC contact hours are offered to nurses. Other health professionals receive a certificate of participation.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Identify the components of the pelvic floor and core and discuss how they are interconnected in overall menopause symptoms and the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause.
- Describe the musculoskeletal manifestations of menopause and their impact on physical activity, exercise, and sport participation.
- Apply evidence-based strategies to optimize physical activity, exercise tolerance, and long-term musculoskeletal health during menopause.
- Describe the impact of hormonal changes and hormone therapy options on pelvic floor function during perimenopause and menopause.
- Identify evidence-based nutritional strategies to address the changing nutrient needs of the menopausal transition, including their application to genitourinary, pelvic, cardiometabolic, and bone health.
- Recognize how pelvic floor and musculoskeletal dysfunction originating ante/peripartum can re-emerge or progress during the peri/menopause transition.
- Identify physical therapy and interdisciplinary care strategies that use the ante/peripartum window to prepare patients for peri/menopause.
