• Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Health actions are fundamental to the well-being and quality of life of community residents. In addition to benefiting individuals, they also contribute to better organization and planning of interventions carried out by professionals. This experience report aims to describe the experience during the physiotherapy internship in a body practice group composed of women from the Pontal da Barra community in Maceió. METHODS: Descriptive study of the experience report type. Information acquired through the experiences of a group of interns on the Physiotherapy course in the Health and Society VI sector, from June to July 2024. The internship takes place in the neighborhood of Pontal da Barra, located in the city of Maceió, Alagoas. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The health action carried out with the body practices group has approximately 15 participants, carried out twice a week.
