Introduction: Over time, the holistic view of health and disease, which considers the human being as a unity of body and mind, has been shaped by various factors. The multicausal concept has opened new possibilities for health professionals. In 2006, the SUS approved the National Policy on Integrative and Complementary Practices. This includes acupuncture and Lian Gong in 18 Therapies, a body practice that promotes an active experience. Objectives: This study investigated the knowledge of physiotherapy students about Lian Gong in 18 Therapies as a viable technique for professional practice. Methods: A survey was conducted with data collection from focus groups, consisting of a moderator and an observer. The sessions were recorded in audio and video for subsequent transcription. Data collection used a semi-structured questionnaire with 10 questions, applied to 50 final-year physiotherapy students at the Municipal University of São Caetano do Sul. Results: The analysis showed that students' knowledge about Lian Gong is superficial. The practice is not widely known or used. However, the interest and curiosity of the participants indicate potential for greater dissemination and expansion of this integrative practice. Conclusion: The research revealed that physiotherapy students' knowledge about Lian Gong in 18 Therapies is limited. Nevertheless, the demonstrated interest suggests significant potential for the expansion and greater dissemination of this practice, indicating the need to include more information about Lian Gong in physiotherapy curricula
