What is the Menopause MOT®?

The Menopause MOT® is a comprehensive, evidence-based screening and assessment framework — developed specifically for health and fitness professionals working with women in perimenopause and menopause.

Fully integrated within the Menopause Movement Advanced Course, it provides a gold-standard menopause health check that brings together:

  • Comprehensive menopause screening
  • Evidence-based risk assessment tools
  • Functional and physical testing
  • Hormonal, psychological, and lifestyle evaluation
  • Clear documentation frameworks
  • Individualised menopause health planning

This is structured, professional menopause care — designed to help women age, move, and live well.

Why Menopause Care Needs You

As gerontologist Robert Butler famously observed, if exercise could be packaged as a pill, it would be the single most prescribed and beneficial medicine available.

Movement is medicine. And in menopause, it's essential.

Menopause symptoms affect women's physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing — but the impact extends far beyond symptoms alone. Even without obvious signs, every woman is affected:

  • Loss of lean muscle mass and declining bone density
  • Reduced strength and power
  • Bladder and genital health changes
  • Increased long-term risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and metabolic conditions

By the time many of these changes become visible, the window for early intervention has often already closed.

On average, women in the UK spend 20 years of their lives in poor health. Much of that decline is preventable.

Ageing is inevitable. Fragility is not.

Yet our healthcare system continues to accept the idea of the fragile older woman — reacting to illness rather than preventing it. That narrative must change.

As a health or fitness professional, you are uniquely positioned to change it.

The Opportunity in Front of You

With over 14 million women in the UK approaching or living through menopause, the need for qualified, evidence-informed practitioners has never been greater.

The Menopause MOT® gives you the tools to:

  • Deliver structured, proactive menopause health assessments
  • Track performance metrics, strength, and functional capacity
  • Set individualised goals that reduce barriers to exercise
  • Support women holistically — physically, hormonally, and
    psychologically

This is menopause care that shifts from managing symptoms to building resilience. From fire-fighting disease to preventing it.
