Abstract

The article investigates how physiotherapists experience movement in an experimental practice. The practice is based on a phenomenological perspective and a qualitative research tradition where meaning and subjectivity are central phenomenons. The empirical material is derived from the 20 participants’ written text about their experience. The texts are analyzed with close connection to the participants’ voices. The results show that being comfortable, trust, and feeling of own time in movement are central aspect pointed out by the participants. Relation to other participant seems to be crucial and sensitive for how movement is experienced. The article illuminates how movement experience, in line with a phenomenological perspective, should not be taken for granted, but continuously evaluated and investigated.
