In this episode of Making Sense of Women’s Health, I’m diving into knee pain — something I see regularly in clinic. And here’s the thing — women are more prone to knee pain than men, but why? It’s not just down to exercise or aging. It’s about hormones, pregnancy, postnatal recovery, and menopause all having a direct impact on your knees.I’ll explain:How hormonal changes across your menstrual cycle can increase ligament laxity and injury risk.Why pregnancy and postnatal recovery can weaken knee stability.What happens to your knees after menopause, when estrogen drops.The most common knee conditions women experience — including osteoarthritis, patellofemoral pain, ITB syndrome, meniscus tears, and ligament injuries.And, most importantly — what you can do to manage and prevent knee pain at every life stage.This episode is packed with practical advice, whether you’re in your 30s dealing with knee niggles after pregnancy, struggling with joint stiffness postmenopause, or noticing changes during your monthly cycle.Links & Resources:Book a Women’s Health Physiotherapy Assessment with me: www.thriveandshinewomenswellness.co.ukFollow me on Instagram for more tips: @thriveandshinewomenswellnessSubscribe to the podcast: www.makingsenseofwomenshealth.co.ukCall to Action:If you found this episode helpful, please share it with a friend who might be struggling with knee pain — and make sure you’re subscribed so you never miss an episode of Making Sense of Women’s Health.www.thriveandshinewomenswellness.co.uk Free Masterclass: Is Perimenopause Causing Your Symptoms? → Click here to watch Supporting women’s health transitions with physiotherapy, menopause mentoring, Pilates and subconscious mindset tools.
