Strength & Stability: Clinical Programming for Bone & Muscle Preservation in Menopausal Women – Part 2

$69.99 Standard

Transform assessment knowledge into actionable, phase-based exercise programs that deliver measurable outcomes for women in midlife and beyond.

Building on Module 1's foundational science and assessment strategies, this hands-on module equips you with the clinical skills to design, implement, and progress individualized training programs that address the complex needs of postmenopausal women with osteopenia, osteoporosis, and sarcopenia.

Learn the systematic 3-phase approach used by leading rehabilitation specialists: Foundation (building movement competency), Progressive Loading (increasing strength capacity), and Power/Functional Integration (enhancing speed and real-world resilience). Each phase includes specific exercise selections, intensity parameters, volume recommendations, and progression criteria.

Clinical Impact:

  • Create weekly training templates that balance heavy resistance (2-3x/week), strategic cardio (HIIT + aerobic), power work, and recovery
  • Confidently address common barriers: managing pain and arthritic flare-ups, screening for pelvic floor dysfunction, overcoming fear of fracture, and supporting adherence
  • Apply evidence-based coaching strategies and cueing techniques that enhance movement quality and client confidence
  • Progress clients from chair squats to weighted step-ups, from static balance to dynamic trail preparation—with clear, reproducible protocols

What You'll Learn:

  • How to differentiate programming for beginner, intermediate, and advanced clients based on movement competency and bone health status
  • Sample weekly schedules showing exactly when to schedule strength, power, cardio, balance, and recovery sessions
  • Modification strategies for pain, limited mobility, and exercise contraindications while maintaining program effectiveness
  • Real-world application through a detailed case study: preparing a 65-year-old woman with osteopenia for a demanding 4-day hiking trip

This module bridges the gap between knowing what exercise works and knowing how to prescribe it—giving you the programming precision and clinical confidence to transform outcomes, one phase at a time.

Here's What You'll Learn


Section 1: Building Individualized Exercise Programs

  • Determining starting points: beginner, intermediate, and advanced level definitions
  • Phase 1 - Foundation (1-6 weeks): movement quality, mobility, and consistency
  • Phase 2 - Progressive Loading (6-8 weeks): increasing resistance workload and volume
  • Phase 3 - Power & Functional Integration (ongoing): speed, dynamic balance, and functional resilience

Section 2: Weekly Programming Templates & Training Frequency

  • Beginner weekly template: foundation strength, Zone 2 cardio, and balance training
  • Intermediate weekly template: progressive loading, HIIT intervals, and power introduction
  • Advanced weekly template: heavy compound lifts, functional power, and recovery protocols
  • Balancing training frequency: strength (2-3x/week), cardio (1-2x HIIT, 1-2x aerobic), and rest days

Section 3: Addressing Common Training Challenges

  • Managing fatigue, pain, and arthritic flare-ups during training
  • Pelvic floor considerations: screening the "3 Ps" and modifying high-impact exercises
  • Fear of fracture: building confidence through stable exercises and appropriate progressions
  • Coaching strategies: cueing techniques, strength-based language, and adherence support

Section 4: Clinical Application - Case Study

  • Case study: Susan (age 65, sedentary, osteopenia, preparing for 4-day hiking trip)
  • Phase-specific programming across 12+ months: foundation to hiking-specific training
  • Progression of strength exercises: chair squats to weighted step-ups with pack
  • Integrating cardio conditioning: interval walks to trail simulation hikes with elevation

Toggle speaker biography

Elizabeth Frey, FCAMPT, MCISC (MANIP), MSc. PT, MSc, BPHE, BSc, MCPA

Liz holds a BSc and BPHE from Queen’s University; a MSc in Exercise Physiology from the University of Toronto, a MSc (PT) from McMaster University, and a MCISC (Manip) from University of Western Ontario. She is a member of the CPA and a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physical Therapists (FCAMPT). Liz is also a Contemporary Medical Acupuncture provider.

Liz is a clinic owner and practicing physiotherapist with a specialty in pelvic health physiotherapy. She is an instructor for Rocktape® Canada, a clinical lab facilitator at the University of Toronto, and a clinical supervisor for physiotherapy students.

As an orthopaedic and pelvic health physiotherapist, Liz integrates her over 10 years of clinical expertise to provide a unique whole-body approach to wellness. Liz’s practice focuses on helping women navigate pregnancy, menopause, and everything in between. Her care model addresses the underlying dysfunction causing injury and provides education to help prevent future re-injury. Her patient-centered approach empowers her patients to set goals, balance muscular dysfunction, and work toward optimal health. She does all of this through hands-on techniques, comprehensive education, and tailored progressive exercise programs.

Personally, as a busy mother of three children, the health habits that don’t slip for Liz are mindset and exercise – it is her positive outlook and passion to stay strong and mobile as she ages that are a few of her defining features.
