Objective: To know the professionals' perception of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) about the need for insertion of the physiotherapist in the team. Many professionals working in the FHP were formed within a conception that favors the individual, curative and hospital-centered approach. This fact has been a challenge for these professionals, since they were organized in teams. Marked by a model of curative and hospital care, being centered in medical consultation, the Brazilian health system lacked deep and radical changes, so that could meet the principles of the program. Reaffirming the principles of the UHS, the FHP has expanded rapidly and has assumed the status of “strategy” (3)
