The Extended Nucleus of Family Health and Primary Care emerged in 2008 with the objective of expanding the scope of actions and increasing the resolution of primary care, together with the Family Health Team, where the performance of the physiotherapist stands out, with several possibilities intervention. The aim of this work was to analyze the challenges faced by NASF - AB physiotherapists in João Pessoa - PB. It was a descriptive exploratory field research, with a quantitative and qualitative approach. Six physical therapists linked to NASF-AB teams in the city of João Pessoa were interviewed, in a non-probabilistic way, for convenience. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire composed of guiding questions. The analysis of the quantitative data was performed using descriptive statistics and the empirical data analyzed through content analysis proposed by Minayo. The results showed that the predominant age group was between 25-35 years (50%), with the majority of participants being female (83.33%). Regarding the time of the graduate, it was divided between 5 to 7 years and 10 to 12 years. When asked about their time in the NASF-AB, it ranged between two and seven years. In the case of the difficulties faced by the professionals, the absence of equipment and structure for the services predominated. Thus, it is necessary to investigate strategies, research and plans that culminate in reducing the possible difficulties faced by these professionals, in order to mitigate physical therapy activity in primary care.
