  Diseases motivated by ergonomic

  risk factors and mental overload have been the

  main causes of work withdrawal, generating a

  great impact not only on workers’ health, but

  also on the social and economic field of the

  company and the country, as well as in the

  sectors of public health in the country. These

  numbers are related to the risks that workers are exposed in the work environment

  regarding the posture adopted by them in the performance of tasks. The diseases that

  affect the workers are known as RSI / DORT. The objective is to report preventive and

  health promotion actions developed by physical therapy in a woodworking company.

  This is an experience report carried out by a multiprofessional resident in Basic Care,

  developed from August to December 2015 with carpenters. Ergonomic, postural,

  preventive and health-promoting interventions were carried out. At the end of the period

  proposed for physical therapy actions, the workers evaluated as an important moment

  for their health, contributing to the creation of healthy habits inside and outside the

  work environment. They also reported a decrease in painful discomforts and an even

  greater approach in teamwork. Knowing the determining factors for the appearance

  of lesions is essential the performance of a health professional in order to establish

  preventive or rehabilitative actions in individuals. Physiotherapy contributes directly to
