Reclaiming Pelvic Confidence in Menopause
In this EverCalm Menopause Specialist Series episode, senior physiotherapist Judith Gould explains how menopause can change pelvic floor function, bladder control, and sexual comfort. She breaks down why leaks, urgency, and pain may appear, and how hormonal shifts and muscle support interact. Together, Judith and host Christine Deschemin move past embarrassment to share compassionate, evidence-based strategies for rebuilding strength, control, and confidence.
You’ll hear practical advice on exercises, when to seek specialist support, and how to talk openly with partners and doctors. This conversation offers clarity, reassurance, and a realistic roadmap to feeling safer in your body.
