At Reform Physiotherapy & Pilates, we are always seeking innovative ways to support women's health, especially when it comes to the often-overlooked areas of pelvic health and hormonal health. We are thrilled to announce our upcoming collaboration with The Menopause Consortium (TMC), a forward-thinking organisation dedicated to empowering women through every stage of hormonal change—from puberty through to post-menopause. This partnership is designed to provide a holistic and integrated approach to women's health, with a focus on supporting individuals as they navigate hormonal transitions and beyond.
Why This Collaboration Matters:
Both Reform Physiotherapy & Pilates and TMC share a deep commitment to improving women’s health. By combining our expertise in pelvic health physiotherapy with TMC’s specialised knowledge in hormonal health management, we aim to offer a comprehensive, whole-person approach to care. Our partnership will provide a seamless referral pathway, benefiting women who need support during significant life stages such as menopause, pregnancy, postnatal recovery, and beyond. Together, we can address the physical, emotional, and hormonal aspects of health in a way that empowers women to feel their best, both inside and out.
How It Will Benefit Women:
Hormonal changes, especially during menopause, can have a significant impact on pelvic health. Common symptoms such as vaginal atrophy, urinary incontinence, pelvic prolapse, and painful intercourse often occur alongside menopause but can be overlooked or misunderstood. Our collaboration with TMC will help women access personalised physiotherapy care that specifically addresses these pelvic health concerns while complementing TMC’s hormonal treatments and medical expertise.
By working together, we can help women manage menopause and its associated symptoms in a way that truly supports whole-body wellness. Whether it's pelvic floor physiotherapy to improve pelvic muscle strength, Reformer Pilates to support core stability and muscle function, or medical therapies to manage hormonal imbalances, our integrated care plan is designed to give women the tools and knowledge they need to live their healthiest lives.

Her approach integrates medical, lifestyle, and alternative therapies to create tailored management plansthat meet the unique needs of each patient.
How Our Collaboration Will Work:
Through our new partnership, Reform Physiotherapy & Pilates will provide pelvic health physiotherapy as part of a holistic care plan for women referred to us by TMC. Whether addressing pelvic floor dysfunction, musculoskeletal conditions, or core strengthening, our physiotherapists will work closely with the TMC team to ensure a seamless experience for women undergoing hormonal treatment or managing menopause symptoms.
Reciprocally, we will refer to TMC as our preferred provider of private hormonal healthcare.
We will work together to provide a supportive environment where women are empowered with the knowledge, resources, and care they need to thrive during every phase of life.
The Benefits of Holistic Care:
Women’s health is complex and multifaceted, and the collaboration between Reform Physiotherapy & Pilates and TMCis a testament to our shared belief in holistic care. The combined expertise in pelvic health and hormonal health will ensure that every woman receives comprehensive care that supports both their physical health and overall well-being.
As we approach this exciting new collaboration, we invite women in Aberdeen and beyond to explore how Reform Physiotherapy & Pilates and The Menopause Consortium can support their journey. Together, we are committed to empowering women, improving access to expert care, and helping women embrace every stage of life with confidence.
