Women and girls go through a variety of changes in their bodies, functions and abilities as they age. Each stage of their lives, from being a small girl, through puberty, onto childbearing and raising children, through to menopause and beyond, there are unique challenges and often problems (as well as life’s joys!). The tissues of the body – muscles, joints, fascia and joints can all become strained either through hormone changes, growth, becoming pregnant, giving birth, or going through postural and muscle weakness problems over time, and through to old age.
