Supporting Women Through Menopause with Achieve Health
Menopause is a natural stage of life, but the changes it brings can feel overwhelming. From disrupted sleep and hot flushes to reduced bone density and muscle strength, the impact can be wide-ranging. At Achieve Health, we support women through every stage of menopause with personalised care, helping you manage symptoms, protect long-term health, and continue living with strength, energy, and confidence.
Why Menopause Matters for Your Health
Menopause isn’t just about hormonal changes; it’s about how those changes affect your whole body.
- Bone Health & Density – The drop in oestrogen accelerates bone loss, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Protecting bone health is essential for long-term independence.
- Muscle Strength & Mobility – Loss of lean muscle mass and slower recovery are common. Without the right training and nutrition, this can lead to weakness, stiffness, and reduced function.
- Symptom Management – Hot flushes, night sweats, fatigue, mood changes, and joint pain can impact everyday life. With the right strategies, these can be managed effectively.
- Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health – Heart health and metabolism can change post-menopause. Staying active and monitoring health markers helps reduce risk.
How We Support You
At Achieve Health, our menopause support goes beyond short-term relief—we focus on building long-term resilience and vitality.
- Rehabilitation & Physiotherapy
For joint pain, stiffness, and mobility issues, our physiotherapists create targeted rehab programmes to restore comfort and function. - Bone Health & Density Programmes
We design strength-based, weight-bearing exercise plans to protect bone mass and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, combined with nutrition advice to support bone health. - Symptom Management Strategies
From hot flushes and fatigue to disrupted sleep, we use safe exercise, breathing, relaxation, and stress management techniques to ease symptoms and improve daily wellbeing. - Blood and Genetic Testing
To gain a clear picture of your health, we offer testing for key markers such as hormones, vitamin D, calcium, and inflammation. Genetic testing provides further insights into how your body responds to nutrition and exercise, allowing for truly personalised care. - Female-Specific Exercise & Nutrition
Inspired by the work of Dr. Stacy Sims, we use female-focused approaches to training and nutrition. This means strength training designed for women, guidance on fuelling and recovery, and tailored strategies to support energy, muscle health, and longevity.
Why Female-Specific Training Matters
For too long, exercise and nutrition research has been centred on men, leaving women to adapt advice that doesn’t always work for them. Menopause is a time when these differences matter more than ever.
By focusing on women’s physiology, we help you train smarter, recover better, and get more from your efforts. The goal isn’t just to manage menopause, but to thrive through it—building resilience, strength, and health for the years ahead.
Our Approach
Every woman experiences menopause differently, so we take a personalised, holistic approach. We begin with a consultation to understand your history, symptoms, and goals. From there, we may recommend physiotherapy, blood or genetic testing, or a tailored exercise and nutrition plan. Importantly, we stay with you for the long term, adapting your programme as your needs change.
FAQs – Menopause at Achieve Health
Do I need to be experiencing severe symptoms to seek support?
No—whether you’re preparing for menopause, in the middle of it, or post-menopausal, there are benefits to starting early with prevention and health optimisation.
Can exercise really help with menopause symptoms?
Yes. Research shows exercise helps reduce hot flushes, improve sleep, build strength, protect bone health, and boost overall wellbeing.
What’s different about female-specific training?
It’s designed with women’s physiology in mind, focusing on strength, energy balance, recovery, and bone protection. It makes training safer, more effective, and more relevant to your needs.
How do blood and genetic tests help?
They give us a clear picture of your health—from vitamin deficiencies to hormonal changes—so we can create a targeted, personalised strategy that works for you.
Is it too late for me to make changes?
Absolutely not. Whether you’re just entering menopause or years beyond it, tailored exercise, nutrition, and support can bring meaningful improvements to your health and quality of life.

Josh Walmsley2024-03-07 They have fixed me many times! Alex is a miracle worker naomi hadley2024-03-06 Had my 1st session with Rick yesterday after bodging my knee somehow. By the end of the session my pain was much lower and my rom was much improved. Very knowledgeable! Highly recommended by me! James Sprittles2024-03-06 I’ve had appointments with both Alex and Emily at Edgbaston/Moseley and have been amazed by the improvement since beginning with them. They have been able to both relieve muscle pain/tightness whilst giving me a bespoke training plan to improve my future health. I would certainly recommend them. Jagtar Marway2024-03-05 I have been having treatment from Jezzi for for a couple of years now for different issues. She is able to pinpoint the areas causing the issues and work on them with long term plans to prevent them from reappearing. I have seen different physios over many years but I have to say her treatment is the best for me. Rebecca Brennan2024-03-05 I have been going for physiotherapy at Achieve (Edgbaston) for over 4 years and continue to do so. I have seen Rickie, Jezzy and Mitzi. They are all great. Achieve was recommended to me and I have recommended them to others seeking out a physiotherapist. Definitely give them a try if you are looking for a physio. M Rai2024-03-05 I’ve been seeing Rick at Achieve Health over the past few months and he’s helped tremendously with my back pain. I highly recommend Achieve Health who provide a holistic assessment and a good mix of physical therapy with self-care advice to keep potential future issues at bay. Efe Okoro2024-03-05 ‘Highly recommending’ Achieve Health may be a massive understatement… I am currently seeing Rickie and Beth for Physiotherapy and deep tissue work and I am super impressed! Not only are they both immensely knowledge and professional, but the teamwork between them also means my sessions are specific, targeted and I am always aware of the steps needed in my rehabilitation, which I have not experienced at other physiotherapy establishments! Having a gym where they can show and watch my rehab exercises is also a massive plus for me! Thanks Achieve!!!! Manjinder Singh2024-03-04 Just over a year ago I decided to finally see a physio after 6months of back pain at 25! I couldn't stand up properly, sit down or lie down. I went to see Jezzie and she pretty quickly narrowed down the possibilities and got to work. Over the past year she's methodically brought me back to my best, something i've not felt for a few years, and offered plenty of exercises/workout plans to continue on my own. Now I go for maintenance appointments every quarter. Jezzie is conversational and knows her job and physiotherapy like the back of her hand, she has fountain of knowledge which puts me at ease as a client.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 239 reviews
