Navigating Menopause with Ease
Physical therapy for...
The 6 weeks post hysterectomy
Step by step guidance through pain management, body ergonomics, and after the first 2 weeks, gentle return to light exercise (so that don't end up doing nothing during the healing process).
Pain or bowel/bladder issues post GYN surgery
Once cleared by the surgeon, but "things just aren't right", we are here to help you!
Menopausal changes
Yes, the body does change as we get to the menopause stage. We need to actively fight to keep our strength; our strength is what keeps us independent and meeting our personal goals (ie getting to the floor to play with grandkids or taking care of our pet!)
I'm here for you...
Heather Rajamoney MPT, PCES
Physical therapist
As a seasoned physical therapist with a Master's from Mayo and 30+ years in the field, one of my areas of interest is supporting women during their recovery from gynecological surgeries and the changes that occur during menopause, ensuring they have the tools and confidence to navigate this new chapter in their lives. I also enjoy working to improve general quality of life, whether it be helping to manage pain complaints, issues with pelvic floor dysfunction, or just staying strong during menopause. I am proud to be included in the Best of Bolingbrook 2026 for PT, along with earning my Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist Certification in 2025. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and my 2 dogs, Dover and Kida!
Curious About A Strong 'Pause?
How can physical therapy help me after a hysterectomy?
Great question! Physical therapy can guide you back to gentle movement, strengthen you at the right time, and help relieve any lingering pain or unwanted symptoms. Think of it as a personalized roadmap to recovery — one step at a time!
What makes you different than other physical therapy?
Most importantly, we want to teach you how to move and manage changes that you are experiencing, not just give you a set of exercises to do. So, that you feel more confident with your body. You are the center of our care!
What if I can't make it to an in-person session?
No worries! Our virtual therapy options mean you can still get the support you need from the comfort of your home.
How long before I start feeling better?
Every body is different, but many women notice improvements in just a few sessions! The key is consistency and patience — and maybe a little laughter along the way!
