We all know about hot flashes and night sweats, but peri/menopause can also impact our musculoskeletal systems, and not always in a kind way.
If you are near Marin County, California, you may want to get to know Ashley Mak, PT, DPT, CSCS. He has a unique approach to meeting patients where they are—literally and figuratively. He provides a “concierge”-style business approach that involves texting as well as on-site work. He embraces all aspects of rehab.
We recently connected on his Functional Rehab podcast. Our conversation flowed over many topics including menopause basics, musculoskeletal changes (osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, joint pain, strains, sprains, frozen shoulder), sleep, and treatment approaches.
