Introduction: During the pregnancy-puerperium cycle there are physiological changes which seem to promote a severe clinical presentation due to COVID-19. The purpose of this study was to identify scientifical productions in the literature regarding physiotherapeutic practice in pregnant women with COVID-19 in a hospital environment. Method: It is an integrative review conducted through access to VHL, Embase and MEDLINE databases using the keywords, respectively, from DECS, Emtree e MESH in 2021 april. Full articles in English, Portuguese or Spanish from original researches were included in the time cut from 2020 to 2021 march, and which presented the outcome. Results: Three articles highlighting the issue were found which applied therapeutic strategies targeted at pregnant women with COVID-19. Respiratory symptoms and neurological manifestations were the main complications due to COVID-19. Breathing techniques, early progressive mobilization, therapeutic exercises, vertical positions and ambulation were applied. Conclusion: Thus, this integrative review showed the importance of physiotherapeutic practice in pregnant women with COVID-19 in a hospital environment. Further dissemination of the field of Physiotherapy, especially, related to high-risk of complications in pregnancy and postpartum and to the main outcome – functional recovery.
