What would support look like for you?
A clinician guides care. A coach helps you carry the plan into daily life. Your centre agrees the support available.
Care that fits your everyday life.
A shared plan, shaped around the person and reviewed by their clinician.
Where would you like to begin?
Strength and balance+
Guided movement can build a sustainable routine around your capacity. Exercise choices take account of bone health, previous fractures, falls, joint symptoms and any medical restrictions.
Bladder comfort and pelvic health+
Bladder leakage, discomfort or other pelvic-health concerns deserve professional assessment. Discuss how they affect movement, daily activities and confidence so the team can identify suitable support.
Wellbeing over the long term+
Nutrition, sleep routines and emotional support are considered alongside your clinical care. Coaching helps keep the plan practical as work, family life and health needs change.
What would you like to know next?
What would the first steps be?↗
- Assessment
Discuss symptoms, medical treatment, bone and pelvic-health history, activity and the things you want to keep doing.
- Your plan
Set achievable priorities with your care team. Decide which movement, nutrition or specialist support is suitable for you.
- Practice
Work on a routine at an appropriate level, with clear guidance for home activities and any limits your clinician has set.
- Review
Revisit your goals and relevant measures. Adjust support over time, including after treatment changes or a change in your health.
How would progress be reviewed?↗
Your clinician chooses measures relevant to your goals. Examples may include:
- Strength, balance and how you move in daily life
- Sleep, symptom impact and activities you want to keep doing
- Bladder or pelvic-health symptoms and medical measures when needed
Who could support me?↗
- Gynaecologist or menopause-aware physician
- Physiotherapist, with pelvic-health input where indicated
- Nutrition, psychological support and health coaching as appropriate
Your centre confirms which professionals are involved and how you will meet.
How does my coach help me keep going?↗
Your coach helps turn the agreed plan into everyday action: manageable goals, workable routines and conversations about what is getting in the way. You agree how to stay in touch and bring questions back to the care team. Medical decisions remain with your clinician.
Meet the coaching roleCan we discuss money or work pressures?↗
Money worries can be part of the wellbeing conversation, including care costs, household responsibilities and pressures at work. Your coach can help you organise priorities and explore practical money habits. This is financial wellbeing education, not advice on financial products.
Explore financial wellbeing supportHow does this fit my existing care?↗
Support can continue before and after a hospital stay. After surgery, a fracture or cancer treatment, your clinical team’s restrictions guide the return to activity. The plan develops around the things you want to keep doing.

Your questions, answered.
Can I take part with osteoporosis or a previous fracture?
Discuss this with the team before starting. Your medical history and treating clinician’s advice determine which activities are suitable. A standard exercise or jumping routine is not appropriate for everyone.
Is support available if menopause followed cancer treatment?
Ask the team to review your needs with your oncology and gynaecology clinicians. Symptoms, treatment history and any activity restrictions should shape a coordinated plan.
Do I have to take hormone replacement therapy?
No particular medicine is a condition of this pathway. Whether hormone therapy is suitable is a decision for you and your clinician; practical movement and wellbeing goals can be discussed alongside it.
Clinical perspective
Your clinician directs hormone therapy, bone-health investigations and medical treatment. Exercises are individually chosen. Functional assessments do not diagnose osteoporosis, and the programme cannot guarantee freedom from falls, fractures or symptoms.
