Introduction: Menopause is a natural event in a woman’s life that marks the end of the reproductive period. It is characterized by physical and psychological symptoms caused by the cessation of ovarian hormone production, which can lead to health and quality of life issues. Physical activity has been an important tool in Primary Health Care to minimize the effects of this period. However, several barriers, such as social and emotional factors, lack of infrastructure, and safety concerns, limit these women’s access to an active lifestyle. Additionally, there is still a lack of information and knowledge about this stage of life and how physical activities can beneficially influence it. Objective: To propose an educational intervention model focused on disseminating information about menopause through discussion groups and providing access to physical activities and body practices. Final considerations: Multidisciplinary teams should facilitate access to information and specialized support, encouraging women to adopt self-care habits, including physical activities and leisure, aiming to improve their quality of life and health.
