SUMMARY:

This research thematizes the relationships between body, health and illness from the experiences of Physical Education professionals (PEF) who experience processes of illness related to herniated discs. This is a phenomenological research with the aim of understanding the perception of the body in illness of Physical Education (PE) graduates who have herniated discs, in its different degrees of involvement, in order to contribute to the discussions in Physical Education. And, more specifically, it aimed to identify the perception of body and body in illness of these professionals; and to describe how the PE professional affected by herniated disk experiences his/her body, as well as the effects of the illness on his/her working practices in Physical Education. The study shows its relevance by proposing to deepen studies in Physical Education, expanding the understanding of the theme body in illness and activity of the PE professional, both in terms of the ways society approaches the phenomenon, and in terms of the construction of new dimensions for the ways in which PEF relate to their bodies. We interviewed 06 professionals with Bachelor's, and Technologist degrees in Sports and Leisure working in the Crajubar region, South of Ceará-Brazil. It was identified that they present conceptions of the body both as an object and/or instrument, and of the body as biocultural. As for the perception of the body in illness, the participants denote a strong relation with limitation of their physical abilities and motor skills, as well as relate this process to aging. This fact made them feel the need to develop self-care techniques to help overcome the process. Along with self-care, measures were adopted such as avoiding painful body practices; changes in routine, in personal and professional life; and body and pedagogical rearrangement as ways to control the pain and the effects of the hernia in their personal and professional lives. However, it highlights the importance of perception, intersubjectivity, and self-care as indispensable aspects to deal with the pain of living with an incapacitating disease and with the ways to rebuild the professional path and the life of those who get sick. From these reflections, new horizons are opened to perceive the body, the movement, and the illness as capable of propelling professionals to be re-enchanted with the world, with PE, and with their own bodies and the bodies of others, facing illness and life based on an existential and expanded vision of the self. Such reflections bring to PE contributions to perceive it beyond an area that works with the functioning and development of the body, understanding it as a space of permanent self elaboration through movement.
