A review of the ability of asteroseismology to probe the internal physics of OB stars is presented. The main constraints that can be obtained from the frequency spectrum in p- and g-modes pulsators are discussed. Next, we consider energetic aspects of the pulsations in OB stars and show how such study also allows to constrain their internal physics. The cases of p-mixed modes (β Cep stars), g-modes (SPB stars), strange modes and stochastically excited modes are considered.
