Menopause is more than hot flashes — it’s a full-body transformation that can deeply affect how women move, feel, and function. In this episode, we explore how hormonal shifts, especially the decline of estrogen, impacts fascia — the body’s connective tissue network.

Learn how changes in collagen production contribute to stiffness, chronic pain, and mobility issues, and why fascia is emerging as a key player in understanding musculoskeletal symptoms in midlife and beyond.

We’ll also highlight the unique role occupational therapy practitioners can play in assessing fascial health and supporting women through menopause with movement, education, and fascia-informed strategies. Whether you're an OTP or someone navigating this stage of life, this episode offers science, support, and insight into the menopausal body from the inside out.
