In view of the expanded view of health proposed by the Unified Health System (SUS), the approach given to the illness process required a prism focused on the biopsychosocial view and no longer on the biomedical model, which led to a reorganization in the training of health professionals.

However, physiotherapy has historically been strongly influenced by the biomedical model, distancing it from primary care (PC).
