Abstract This systematic review analyzes 19 studies examining the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for improving health outcomes in postmenopausal women. Interventions included physiotherapy techniques, structured strength training, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, yoga, pelvic floor muscle training, aerobic exercise, and complementary therapies such as electromagnetic stimulation and traditional Thai exercises. These approaches targeted key issues including musculoskeletal pain, urinary incontinence, genitourinary syndrome, menopausal symptoms, and reduced quality of life. The findings indicate that multimodal and holistic interventions significantly improved pain, mobility, muscle strength, and psychological wellbeing. Yoga and mind-body practices enhanced emotional health and quality of life, while pelvic floor training effectively addressed urinary and sexual health concerns. Most interventions were found to be safe, feasible, and well-tolerated, with moderate to high effectiveness. Although some studies had methodological limitations, such as lack of blinding and small sample sizes, the overall evidence strongly supports the integration of these non-pharmacological strategies into postmenopausal health care. Future research should focus on long-term outcomes and standardized intervention protocols to enhance clinical applicability.
