Menopause Massage: A Gentle, Supportive Approach to a Natural Life Transition
Menopause and perimenopause bring real changes—and real symptoms. Hot flashes, sleep disruption, tension, bloating, anxiety, and fatigue are often treated as things women simply have to “push through.” Thankfully, that mindset is shifting.
One supportive option gaining attention is menopause massage—a customized, relaxation-focused massage designed to help ease the physical and nervous-system stress that often accompanies this stage of life. While massage doesn’t change hormone levels, research and clinical experience show it can help reduce stress, improve sleep, ease muscle tension, and promote overall well-being.
Menopause massage may incorporate techniques such as:
• Swedish massage for relaxation
• Lymphatic drainage to reduce bloating and fluid retention
• Myofascial release for tension and joint discomfort
• Craniosacral therapy to support the nervous system and sleep
• Gentle neck, jaw, and head work for headaches and stress
What makes this approach different is personalization. Each session at SOSR is tailored to your symptoms, health history, and comfort level—making it both therapeutic and restorative.
Menopause is not a medical crisis—it’s a natural transition that deserves care, compassion, and support. Massage therapy can be a powerful part of your self-care routine, helping you feel more balanced, relaxed, and at home in your body.
If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause and curious about how massage can support you, we’d love to be part of your wellness team. This chapter can be one of renewed vitality—and you don’t have to go through it alone. The Southern Oregon Spine + Rehab team is here to support you in every chapter of life.
