Abstract
It is an action composed of professors and students of the Physiotherapy course at Campus UnB Ceilândia, with the aim of contributing to the confrontation of the pandemic imposed by COVID-19. The action aims to serve a portion of the population, which has been affected by the social and household isolation imposed by sanitary measures. Although essential to prevent the transmission of COVID-19, isolation greatly affected individuals with different health conditions, such as chronic pain. Still, the isolation brought up other difficulties mainly for families with children, in view of the closing of schools and daycare centers. There is no denying the deleterious effects of isolation on the physical and mental health of the population, caused mainly by a sedentary lifestyle. That way, Physiotherapy can contribute to your body of knowledge and evidence in order to develop health education actions, exercise guidance and other home activities, and contribute to maintaining health at desirable levels. The action will encourage the production of materials in different formats, such as infographics, to be disseminated in digital media through posts, lives and videos. Still, it is proposed to develop a mobile application, in order to disseminate weekly physical exercise routines, preventive and educational practices, in addition to monitoring the individuals by a health professional, remotely.
