Introduction: With a high mortality rate, diabetes mellitus (DM) is the result of insulin deficiency during its secretion or action, more common in patients over 40 years old, being responsible for 95% of morbidity cases in Brazil. Well-planned physical therapy, with efficient interventions and exercises, aims to improve mobility and balance in individuals with peripheral diabetic neuropathy (PDN). Objective: The objective of this article is to describe the physical therapy interventions in patients with diabetic neuropathy. Methodology: The present work is a literature review, with data collection between August 2021 and May 2022, through a search in PubMed, SciELO and PEDro databases. Results and discussion: Considering the clinical repercussions of patients, professionals use treatment techniques with the objective of preventing the progression of symptoms and degeneration of neural function. Final Considerations: An isolated treatment considered the gold standard to be applied in patients with PDN was not found in the literature, transcutaneous electrical stimulation does not present among scholars a concession of applicability.
