Several care practices were suspended and modified during the COVID-19 pandemic. Amid this health crisis, the training of health professionals also dealt with the health and organizational challenges. This experience report describes the bodily practices engaged in by physiotherapy students during the pandemic. Under the discipline “Physiotherapy in Communities,” at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), in partnership with the Alto das Pombas Women’s Group, bodily practices were performed during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 10 to 22 participants, between 46 and 91 years old, from a community in Salvador, Bahia, joined the program. This experience, together with health recommendations, allowed students to carry out innovations and play activities to reintegrate the group of women and pay attention to global functionality. Bodily practices in the territory function as a space for care and teaching relations, allowing physiotherapists to experience health care in a broader sense and closer to the reality and social context.
