Abstract
Objective: Discuss the contributions of physical therapy resources applied in humanized natural labor. Methods: Literature review researched on the time horizon from 2009 to 2019 in the electronic databases BVS, PubMed, SciELO, PEDro, and Google Scholar. The analysis process of the selected articles took place through the exploratory and detailed reading of titles, abstracts and research results, where the physiotherapeutic resources applied in humanized natural labor were sought. Results: Among the options of physiotherapeutic resources the most commonly used to reduce pain in the humanized natural labor process are breathing exercises, massage therapy, thermotherapy, position change, exercises with the help of the swiss ball and electrotherapy. Final Considerations: The physiotherapeutic resources used offer positive results in reducing pain as well as the duration of labor, making it more active, humanized and satisfactory for the parturient.
