Menopause Physical Therapy
in Princeton, NJ

Feel strong. Stay active. Rediscover comfort in your body.

Hormonal changes don’t have to mean discomfort, pain, or giving up the activities you love.

 

At Healing Space PT, we offer specialized pelvic floor and whole-body physical therapy to support women through perimenopause and menopause — with dignity, empathy, and expertise.

A New Chapter Deserves New Support

As estrogen declines, many women experience surprising and frustrating changes that can impact quality of life:

​

  • Vaginal dryness, pain, or discomfort with intimacy

  • Urinary urgency, frequency, or leakage

  • Pelvic organ prolapse

  • Lower back, hip, or pelvic pain

  • Constipation or bowel changes

  • Core weakness or balance changes

  • A feeling of “disconnect” from the body

​

Many women are told these changes are “just part of getting older” — but they are treatable.

How Physical Therapy Can Help

Our care is tailored to your unique body and goals. We offer a trauma-informed, private space to explore what’s happening and how to manage it.

​

Your personalized plan may include:

  • Pelvic floor muscle assessment and retraining

  • Myofascial release and gentle manual therapy

  • Core and hip strengthening

  • Strategies for bladder and bowel health

  • Education on posture, body mechanics, and exercise

  • Lifestyle support for healthy aging

  • Emotional validation and coaching throughout the process

​

You’ll leave each session with more confidence in your body — and tools to thrive in this stage of life.
