Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory and autoimmune pathology that affects the joint tissues, leading the body to develop deformities and movement limitations, impairing daily life and work activities, but there is still no consensus on the application of physical therapy techniques in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis . Thus, the study sought information about the main physical therapy approaches to be used in the treatment of this pathology, which help to control the signs and symptoms of the disease. According to the research carried out, the methods of hydrotherapy, therapeutic massage, laser therapy and physical exercise showed their effectiveness in the health status of individuals with the pathology, but there was no consensus on the parameters of the methods. Therefore, the study proved to be relevant for the analysis of the effectiveness of physical therapy approaches in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis.
