Why Does Everything Hurt? A Physio explains what's happening in your body after cancer.
The knowledge your doctors didn't give you.
If you're managing aching joints, sore muscles, or a body that feels like it's aged overnight since your cancer treatment, you're not imagining it, and you're not alone.
This is one of the most common things women in this community tell me. And it's one of the things their medical team rarely explains.
That's why I invited physiotherapist Kath Tsebelis to sit down with me for this Ask the Expert Workshop, to give you the answers you should have been given at the end of treatment.
In this workshop, Kath covers:
Why your body feels so different after cancer treatment, and why menopause makes it harder.
What's behind the aches, stiffness, fatigue and joint pain that nobody warned you about.
Practical guidance on rebuilding strength and reducing pain after surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
What to ask your physiotherapist or GP at your next appointment.
Watch it free. Keep it as long as you need it.
Enter your details and I'll send you immediate access to the workshop, plus Kath's bonus ebook: Understanding Your Body, Reducing Pain and Rebuilding Strength for Cancer Survivors.

About Sonya, your workshop host
I am a breast cancer survivor who experienced treatment-induced menopause and spent six years fighting to get the support I needed.
I am the host of the Dear Menopause podcast (127 episodes, 130,000+ downloads), a published co-author in women's health, and gave evidence at the Australian Senate Inquiry into Perimenopause and Menopause. I built Menopause After Cancer because the gap I fell through shouldn't exist.
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.
