Bag om Multidisciplinary and Physiotherapeutic Action in Climacteric Women
The climacteric is also defined as a process of physical and emotional transition from middle age to old age for both men and women, however, in this study we will use the meaning of climacteric as the passage of women from the reproductive phase to the non-reproductive phase, triggering a variety of symptoms. The study consists of a bibliographical survey, considering the work of a multi-professional team with women in the climacteric period, with a greater focus on the work of physiotherapists in this stage. The study clearly and objectively presents a discussion of the physiotherapeutic techniques most commonly used in climacteric women, as well as their effectiveness and forms of applicability, with the aim of preventing signs and symptoms and treating existing ones, such as urinary incontinence, sweating, hot flushes, sexual disorders, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis and emotional disorders such as depression and anxiety, which can lead to hormonal, physical and psychological dysfunctions that can interfere with quality of life.
