Who Is Peri?™ | Menopause Related Joint Pain, Strength Loss and Body Shifts
You're not imagining it. The joint pain, stiffness, tendon issues, strength loss, and body composition changes so many women experience before, during, and after menopause may be connected to the hormonal and physiological changes that occur across midlife. Each week, Dr. Diedra Manns, physical therapist, movement science fellow, Pilates educator, and certified menopause health practitioner, unpacks the musculoskeletal side of menopause through her Stability Before Performance™ (SBP™) framework. She looks beyond hormones alone to explore what may be influencing how a woman feels, moves, recovers, and performs, and most importantly, what she can do about it. Expect solo deep dives grounded in research, alongside conversations with healthcare, movement, and wellness professionals, as well as real women leaders navigating MSM firsthand.
