“…Thus, the ability to tolerate tranquillity and the sense of being present here and now may be improved, as may concentration and mental awareness (Sviland et al, 2012;Ekerholt et al, 2014) and the ability to elaborate and transform experiences into more organized mental phenomena and structures (Lecours and Bouchard, 1997).…”

“…Affecting the breathing pattern indirectly appears essential, in view of the observation that a more direct focus has been noted to have adverse effects, including the furthering of anxiety and depression (Sviland et al, 2012;Bunkan, 1991).…”

“…Given the multiple implications of constrained breathing for postural stability, it is likely that modifying postural de-alignments and improving stability will also affect the breathing, albeit in an indirect way. Increasing postural stability might entail a stabilizing dimension that can be valuable for the body as well as for the self (Ekerholt and Bergland, 2008;Sviland et al, 2012).…”

“…As part of the treatment process, an improved sensation of the body might follow. This opens the possibility of becoming more in touch with one's own body and be able to regulate oneself during daily life activity (Dragesund & Raheim, 2008;Øien, Råheim, Iversen, & Steihaug, 2009;Sviland, Raheim, & Martinsen, 2012).…”

Purpose: In the treatment of patients with long-lasting musculoskeletal pain, the challenge is to identify causal and sustaining factors and targeted treatment in order to improve function. Norwegian Psychomotor Physiotherapy (NPMP) is an approach often applied to patients with such pain. Long-term NPMP processes from the patients' perspective have been studied and discussed in the light of phenomenology of the body.The study purpose was to explore what kind of changes patients with long-lasting musculoskeletal pain experience during NPMP and further transfer into daily life context. Methods: A phenomenological, descriptive, and retrospective design was applied. Two focusgroup interviews were conducted with 11 patients receiving such treatment. The interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and analysed inspired by Giorgi's phenomenological methodology.Results: The analysis resulted in an overarching structure: "To develop embodied ownership of oneself over time", and two themes describing the essence of change that the patients experienced: (1) "To get an embodied grip on oneself through treatment"; (2) "To give oneself space in daily life". Conclusions: Enhanced embodied self-perception involving a sense of embodied ownership and agency seemed to be important both to be aware of own bodily needs and to transfer changes from treatment into daily life.

Background and Purpose Norwegian Psychomotor Physiotherapy (NPMP) has been an established treatment approach for more than 50 years, mostly in the Scandinavian countries, usually applied to patients with widespread and long‐lasting musculoskeletal pain and/or psychosomatic disorders. Few studies have investigated the outcomes of NPMP, and no randomized clinical trials (RCT) with a comparing treatment group have systematically been tried out on individuals. Methods This is a pragmatic, single‐blinded RCT where 128 participants with long‐lasting widespread musculoskeletal pain and/or pain located to the neck and shoulders were block randomized to NPMP or Cognitive Patient Education combined with active individualized physiotherapy (COPE‐PT). Intention‐to‐treat with linear mixed models were used to estimate the group differences in treatment effects. The outcomes at 3, 6, and 12 months follow‐up were pain intensity, function, anxiety and depression, quality of life, sleep, fear of movement, and subjective health complaints. Risk profile (Örebro) was examined at 3 and 6 months. All participants underwent physical tests at baseline and 6 months. Results One‐year data were available for 66.4% of the original participants. Calculated with intention‐to‐treat analysis, at 3 months statistically significant differences were found in favor of COPE‐PT for pain, anxiety and depression, quality of life‐physical dimension, risk profile and fear of movement. At 6 months, statistically significant differences in favor of COPE‐PT were found for anxiety and depression, and sleep. At 12 months, the improvements were still statistically significant for anxiety, depression and sleep. Both groups improved, but no statistically significant differences were found between the groups on the physical tests at 6 months. Conclusions COPE‐PT, which is targeted towards pain‐coping and increasing activity, contribute to more improvements than NPMP.
