Post-Menopause & senior health
(60s & Beyond)
Staying Active, Healthy, & Independent
Reaching your 60s and beyond doesn’t mean slowing down—it’s about living vibrantly, staying independent, and prioritising preventative care. Taking charge of bone strength, heart health, and cognitive function can help you enjoy an active and fulfilling life for years.
Healthy aging & mobility support
Muscle strength, balance, and flexibility become even more important for maintaining independence as you age.
​
How to stay strong & active:
-
Strength & resistance training – Prevents muscle loss and keeps bones strong.

Joint & bone health assessments – Helps prevent osteoporosis and arthritis.​​
Did you know?
Falls are the leading cause of injury in women over 60, but strength training can reduce that risk!
​Pelvic health & incontinence treatment
Many women experience urinary incontinence and vaginal changes post-menopause due to declining oestrogen levels.
​
Managing pelvic & bladder health:
-
Urinary incontinence treatment – Addressing bladder leaks & urgency.
