Childbirth is regarded as one of the most striking events in a woman's life and can influence in an emotional and physical way throughout her life. The physiotherapist is the most appropriate professional to follow up the pregnant woman, reducing labor time and painful perception. This review article aims to analyze the performance of physiotherapy during humanized delivery. Methodological review was carried out in January and February of 2018, and articles were selected that were related to the proposed theme. For this, a bibliographic survey was carried out in the databases PUBMED, LILACS, SCIELO. The use of hot baths for the relief of pain during labor is one of the most widely used non-pharmacological methods for the progression and evolution of natural childbirth. Physiotherapy contributes by reducing the fear-tension-pain triad, promoting re-education of the respiratory function, restoration of the intestinal function, stimulating the circulatory system, promoting analgesia and favoring delivery.
