Women's Health: Nurturing Care through Massage Therapy
An area of special interest to me is providing care for Women through all phases of our Reproductive Health.
As I have aged, I am even more aware of the gaps in care that so many Women, particularly Menopausal Women, experience. Facts from the Menopause Foundation of Canada,
The average Canadian Woman will spend up to half her life in a Menopausal state: Perimenopause, Menopause, Postmenopause.
3 of 4 Women experience menopausal symptoms that interfere with their daily lives. 1 in 4 experience severe symptoms.
10% of Women will stop working due to unmanaged symptoms of Menopause.
Most Women reach Menopause between 45 and 55, 1 in 100 before age 40. 1 in 1000 before the age of 30.
It's not just about relaxation; it's about targeted support for the physical and emotional shifts women experience.
Some of the most common symptoms of Menopause are:
| Common Symptoms of Menopause | |
|---|---|
| Night Sweats/Flushing | Forgetfulness |
| Low Energy | Headaches |
| Insomnia | Anxiety |
| Depression | Sexual Dysfunction |
| Muscle and Joint Pain | Bone Density Loss |
| Bladder Control Issues | Vaginal Dryness |
Massage Therapy has proven to be a powerful ally for all stages of our Reproductive life. Women are vital members of society, our contributions too important to not receive the most effective care.
