We still have searched to analyse the relation established between elderly and physiotherapist in the therapeutic link formation, always considering the culture, and verify the participation of the professional in this relation as active individual to search correct conducts for this group of patients. For accomplishment of this research of qualitative nature, we have used five interviews of the students, both sex and age varying between 23 and 30 years old.
