MACS Ask The Expert Workshop
A FREE ONLINE WORKSHOP SERIES
Why Does Everything Hurt? A Physio explains what's happening in your body after cancer.
The knowledge your doctors didn't give you.
Monday 25 May 2026 · 7:30pm AEST (Sydney / Melbourne time) · 45 minutes · Free · Online via Zoom
Who is this for
This workshop is for women navigating menopause after cancer. If you're managing the physical and emotional changes that came with your diagnosis and treatment — and you're not getting the answers you need from your medical team — you're in the right place.
These workshops are free, online, and open to anyone who needs them.
What we're covering
The workshop runs for 30 minutes, followed by 15 minutes of live Q&A where you can ask your own questions directly. It's free to attend live. A recording will be available to everyone who registers.
So many women I speak to describe waking up one day and feeling like they've aged overnight. Aching joints, stiff muscles, bones that feel fragile, and nobody explained why. Cancer treatment and menopause does things to your body that your oncologist didn't have time to walk you through. This workshop is the conversation you should have had at the end of treatment.
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
Understand why your body feels so different after cancer treatment, and why menopause makes it harder.
Recognise what's behind the aches, stiffness, fatigue and joint pain that nobody warned you about.
Know what you can actually do to feel better — practical, evidence-based strategies you can start with.
Learn when to seek physiotherapy or other support, and what to ask when you do.
“Cancer is a very challenging battle. Menopause can feel like another. As a physiotherapist, I am passionate about helping women navigate this path with evidence-based strategies, tailored resources, and the support and knowledge they need and deserve to rebuild strength, confidence and achieve optimal health.”

Why I created this workshop
One of the most common things I hear from the women in this community is that their body feels like it belongs to someone decades older. The aching, the stiffness, the sense that something has fundamentally shifted. It's real, and it's common, and almost nobody prepares us for it.
Understanding why these changes happen in our muscles, joints and bones is knowledge every woman going through this deserves. And understanding the why brings something else too, the self-compassion to stop fighting your body, and the motivation to know what you can actually change.
That's why I invited Kath to be part of this series. The information exists. Women just aren't being given it.
