The human construction process is related to social issues and takes place in relationship with others through the body. So too is the relationship of therapist and patient. This study was aimed at seeking physical therapists' perceptions about the human body and how these perceptions affect the therapeutic process. As a working method, we used qualitative research and data collection through semi-structured interview. We interviewed 12 physical therapists in clinics and hospitals. The inclusion criteria considered legally qualified professionals and that performed their activities in hospitals and/or clinics. After transcribing the interviews, data analysis was performed using the analytical categories. The study allowed to find the following insights: the proposed theme is not subject to the usual reflection of professionals; age, gender, time of training and performing are not differentiating factors for the perception of the physical therapist; the area of operation interferes with the perception, professionals working in hospitals and intensive care units have a more perception focused on Cartesian and mechanistic concepts; there is a two way in the perception of the body and the individual: the primary vision is focused on physical and physiological issues, but there is a merger of view on issues mental, emotional and social, thus the need for humanistic and comprehensive vision in dealing with the patient also was noted; the physical therapist realizes that he is not fully prepared to work the changes that occur with the patient as a result of the therapeutic process and point to the need for better training at the university
