- Abstract
Physiotherapy in the Primary Health Care (PHC) is a challenging reality intervention that is opposed to the traditional and rehabilitator physiotherapist profile. This study aimed to analyze the work of physiotherapists in the PHC in Crateús, Ceará. This is a qualitative survey conducted in April 2016, through framed interviews and analyzed according to the content analysis technique. The main activities developed by physiotherapists are home visits and group activities. The challenges faced were few physiotherapists included in the PHC, lack of transportation, poor infrastructure, the need of Continuing Education and resistance to physiotherapist working model in PHC. The performance of physiotherapists in this municipality appears more focused on promotion and prevention, but there is a lack in the care organization specialized in physiotherapy in the city, which has just overloading the PHC and demanding many health recovery actions.
