Why it happens
Your body is responding, not failing.
As estrogen declines, the pelvic floor muscles, vaginal and bladder tissue, connective tissue, bones, and joints all change. Collagen production drops, muscle mass declines, and tissues become less resilient. The Menopause Society estimates that around half of postmenopausal women experience genitourinary symptoms such as dryness, urgency, or pain with intimacy.
Bone changes too. The Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation notes that women can lose up to 20% of their bone density in the five to seven years after menopause. Together these changes can contribute to bladder leaks, prolapse symptoms, joint pain, and reduced strength. It's not in your head. It's biology.
The good news is that the body responds beautifully to the right strength training, pelvic floor therapy, and proactive movement. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy build a personalized plan that addresses the whole woman, and work alongside your physician or menopause provider when medical treatment is part of your care.

I can’t say enough great things about Body Motion Physical Therapy! As a 50-year-old woman who started pelvic floor therapy three years ago, I’ve experienced incredible results thanks to their expert care. The entire staff is warm, professional, and truly dedicated to their patients’ well-being.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Katrina once a month, and she has been a game-changer for me. Going through perimenopause, I’ve noticed that many of my friends struggle with far more symptoms than I do—and I credit this to the targeted exercises, therapeutic massages, and red light therapy I’ve received here. The difference in my comfort, mobility, and overall health is remarkable.
I highly recommend Body Motion to all women, whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or navigating menopause. Their holistic approach and personalized treatments make a world of difference. Thank you, Dr. Katrina and the entire team, for helping me feel my best at this stage of life!
10/10 – A life-changing practice! 🌟

I was suffering greatly when I found Body Motion PT. I’d had two c-sections from 16 & 11 years back. Was suffering frequent UTIs and a kidney infection that had resolved momentarily, but I was still suffering UTI pain that was destroying my life. I was at the lowest point in my life and I found Allison and Body Motion. I’ll try I told myself. Nothing to lose. I drove the 2 1/2 hours from my home with hope in my heart. And wow. Within just a few sessions my pain started to dissipate and after many more it’s held strong. I’ve cut back on the amount of time I go and I’ve got my life back. Amazing. When Dr. Riley came on board I started working with her and they’re both phenomenal. I can’t say enough. I wished I had with this with the two births of my children. Could’ve saved myself years of struggle, but glad to have them now. I can live a pain free life and live my best life at 51. Recently started seeing Dr. Marielle, who is new to the area and she is great. Always great staff and love the waiting room area. So warm and inviting

Body Motion was highly recommended by a Fremont physical therapist and I think it might be the best recommendation I have ever had.
I am 58 years old and was concerned and saddened when my occasional knee pain became chronic. Dr Allison and Dr Riley quickly diagnosed that my knee pain involves so much more than my knee!
I see both Dr Riley and Dr Allison to unlearn old habits, embrace new habits, learn how to better move, breathe, walk, engage muscles, and build strength.
My PT with Dr Riley and Dr Allison has been life changing and my UW orthopedic doctor agrees.
I can’t say enough positive things about the practice. I feel seen and heard and completely supported. I feel respected and cared for and appreciated. And I feel capable and confident…. and when I have a low moment, Dr Allison and Dr Riley remind me, and SHOW me, how far I have come and boost my self esteem.
I so appreciate the inviting and professional atmosphere of the office and I LOVE the private treatment rooms.
Devyn is an administrative rock star and makes everything (including insurance claims) an easy breeze…. and I can tell Isabelle is going to be a valuable addition to the team.
As much as anything, I love being connected with these strong, knowledgeable, passionate, and dynamic women. They have not only helped my body, they have profoundly enriched my life. Thank you!

I have been receiving Rejuvenation Technology by way of both EMTT & Shockwave therapy on my knees at Body Motion Physical Therapy . I’m a 65 year young woman, who started having knee pain, out of the blue. Nothing I tried for 2 months helped ease my issues. A friend of mine mentioned this therapy and I decided to try as it’s non surgical. General med just wants to throw prescriptions at it. With each session (I’ve had 4 over about a 4 week period) I began to feel relief and healing from the inside out, each time. The techs are very good at locating the areas that benefit from the therapy, give excellent advice of next steps to work on between secession’s, and the whole staff truly caress out your outcome, right down to scheduling. The ease of arranging appointments is stellar!
I can’t say enough about all of the different avenues of strengthening woman’s bodies they provide and truly appreciate this segway into helping us “2nd adulthood” women too! Thanks for your passion.
Menopause care FAQs
It's common, but it isn't normal, and it's treatable. Lower estrogen affects bladder and pelvic tissue, but supervised pelvic floor muscle training is a recommended first-line treatment for leaking at any age.
Yes. Pain with intimacy often involves pelvic floor tension as well as tissue changes. We treat the muscular side and work alongside your provider, who may also recommend treatments such as vaginal moisturizers or local estrogen.
Often, yes. Pelvic floor training, pressure management, and strength work can reduce heaviness and bulging symptoms. If a pessary or surgical opinion would help, we'll tell you.
With the right programming, yes. Progressive, osteoporosis-safe strength and impact training is one of the best ways to support bone health. We tailor every exercise to your bone density and history.
Ideally before symptoms start, in your late 30s or 40s. But it's never too late. We help women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond get stronger and more comfortable.
No. Many of our clients are in perimenopause, and some come in earlier to be proactive. Symptoms like new leaking, urgency, or joint aches are a great reason to start.
Yes. We're a leader in regenerative technology for women's health, and shockwave, EMTT, and red light therapy can be paired with hands-on physical therapy as part of your plan.

It depends on your symptoms and goals. After your evaluation we'll recommend a plan of care and a 12, 16, or 24 visit package that fits it.

A message from our founder
Years ago, I was frustrated in my own postpartum body. Since then I've seen too many women in their 40s and 50s dealing with hip, back, and joint pain, and leaking too, who go on to need joint replacements and, later, live with incontinence. That cycle is why I started Body Motion. Most women wait months or even years before getting help, and the one thing I can promise is that doing nothing won't make pelvic floor issues better. The next step is to take action. — Dr. Allison Feldt, PT, DPT
