Join Women’s Health and Wellness expert Michelle Lyons 
for this one day workshop where we will explore the anatomy, physiology and biopsychosocial issues that peri-menopausal women face.
If you work with women aged 35+ this is not to be missed.
Do you know the specific health issues in peri and post-menopause issues that women face? Bone health? Pelvic Health? Brain Health? Heart Health?
Do you know how to prescribe exercise to to help balance hormones?
Do you know the precautions and contra-indications to do it safely?
Did you know that according to the Irish Dept of Health & Children, around 260,000 women in Ireland are going through the menopause at any one time.
We’ll have plenty of time for discussion, questions (and answers!) and movement prescriptions, demonstration and participation.
After request from participants on previous workshops, we’re delighted to welcome Michelle Lyons, Women’s Health Integrative Physio and co-founder of the Women’s Health Physiotherapy Group back to the studio to teach this workshop.
This workshop is for therapists and movement professionals with an interest in learning about and deepening their understanding of working with peri and post menopausal women for their own personal education and exploration.
