Because your body’s changing—but you don’t have to feel powerless.
Perimenopause is not the beginning of the end—it’s a transition, and it doesn’t have to be one that sidelines your life, workouts, or confidence. At Breathe In Motion, with locations in Brookfield and Mequon, we offer specialized physical therapy for women in perimenopause to help you stay strong, pain-free, and fully in control of your health during this hormonal shift.
Whether you’re dealing with new aches, pelvic discomfort, leaking during workouts, or fatigue that hits like a freight train—we’ve got you.
What Is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the hormonal transition leading up to menopause, typically starting in your 30s or 40s. Estrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate, and your body starts to adapt—sometimes not so gracefully.
Common symptoms we help women manage include:
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Urinary urgency or leakage (especially during workouts or sneezing)
- Hip or low back pain
- Core weakness or heaviness
- Pain with sex
- Constipation or bloating
- Sleep disruptions, fatigue, and brain fog
- New onset of joint pain or muscle tightness
- Feeling “off” in workouts or recovery
These aren’t just “normal aging signs”—they’re treatable changes that we address through movement, strength, and evidence-based care.
Our Approach to Perimenopausal Physical Therapy
Our individual sessions with Doctors of Physical Therapy, trained in women’s health and pelvic floor care, are designed to address your entire system—not just the symptoms.
We blend:
- Pelvic floor therapy (internal and external, as needed)
- Core and breath retraining to support your pelvic organs and spine
- Manual therapy for the hips, pelvis, low back, and ribcage
- Strength training to combat muscle loss and protect bone density
- Mobility and alignment work to improve posture and relieve tension
- Education on how hormones affect movement, strength, and recovery
- Support in navigating sleep, stress, and performance changes
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all protocol—it’s a customized, compassionate, and clinical approach that evolves with you.
Who This Is For
This service is designed for:
- Women in their late 30s to early 50s are noticing new or unexpected body changes
- Active women who feel like their workouts aren’t “working” anymore
- Anyone navigating pelvic health concerns (pain, pressure, leakage) for the first time
- Women preparing for or recovering from perimenopausal hormone shifts
- Moms balancing life, work, and wellness who don’t want to lose themselves in this transition
What to Expect at Your First Session
Your evaluation includes:
- A deep dive into your symptoms, health history, and goals
- Movement and posture analysis (head to toe—not just pelvic floor)
- Hands-on therapy to reduce tension and reconnect movement systems
- Pelvic floor screening (internal if appropriate and you’re comfortable)
- A custom plan to build strength, relieve symptoms, and restore function
- Real answers, not just “that’s normal for your age”
You’re Not Broken. You’re Evolving. Let’s Treat You That Way.
You don’t need to suffer in silence. You don’t need to accept discomfort or disconnection from your body as your new normal. With the right care, this can be a season of strength, clarity, and serious empowerment.
Book your Perimenopause Physical Therapy evaluation today and take back control of how you feel—inside and out.



WHAT CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
I’ve been seeing Stephanie for a shoulder injury. I appreciate her extreme care, her thoughtfulness, and most importantly her use of creative approaches to relieve the pain and help my shoulder heal. My number one goal is to avoid surgery and with Steph’s help, I have my best chance!
This place is an absolutely amazing place to get Physical Therapy. I have been to many different medical facilities, and nothing has compared to the treatment that I get here. At first it may seem like a lot with the cost, but they will work with you, and it will be worth it in the end. I have done only 4/5 sessions so far and we have gotten more done than doing twenty sessions under insurance at a hospital system. The ladies that treat you here are super nice and understanding.
Molly is incredibly knowledgeable! I saw her for pelvic floor health for my second pregnancy. She asked questions I haven’t been asked before and did a thorough evaluation to try and get to the root cause of ailments I had with my first pregnancy. She exudes passion for what she does and stressed the importance of prevention. She never made me feel silly for asking questions and explained what and why she was doing in a way I could understand. I would absolutely recommend Molly and Breathe in Motion to any pregnant and postpartum mamas!
I’m a mom of two young and very active little ones. I had on and off low back pain since my last pregnancy and everyday life with my kids was becoming more painful and frustrating. I started therapy with Molly and was so impressed with her kind and compassionate demeanor, her knowledge, the quality of and her practice based on treating the whole person, listening to needs and helping achieve goals. I am back to chasing my kids and being active without pain! Molly is absolutely wonderful! So grateful.
