• Abstract:

  Physiotherapy in the school environment assists the prevention of postural

  changes, guiding and raising awareness among students and teachers. Therefore

  the objectives of this study were: to carry out a survey in the national bibliographical

  reference on preventive physiotherapy in teachers or students; informing the school

  population of these data; and still find out the usefulness and importance of this subject

  for the target audience of the research. A bibliographic survey was carried out in articles

  from national journals (free access), seeking materials that would reach the objective

  of this study. With the result of this search, an informative lecture was elaborated. The

  lecture was given at a public school, reaching a target audience of 94 individuals. At

  the end of the lecture, a questionnaire was given to the participants, questioning the

  importance and usefulness of the subject addressed, and finally the analysis of the

  data obtained. A total of 51 students (54%) answered the questionnaire in a valid way.

  For these, referring to the importance of the subject 92.16% responded very important,

  followed by 5.88% Reasonable. While regarding the usefulness of the lecture 94.12%

  Very useful; 3.92% Reasonably useful; 1.96% Not very useful, 0% Not useful. The

  results of the questionnaires show a great interest of the target public in this subject,

  but it is noticed through informal conversations that this public does not have access

  to this type of information at school. An opportunity for preventive actions is therefore

  perceived, and in addition to stimulating the student’s health, early detect postural

  changes already in place, correcting them and preventing them from remaining until

  adulthood.
