Abstract
We present the results of a research including two fields of experimentation, interviews and systematic observations aimed at understanding how Labanian theory may contribute to the work of health professionals with bodily practices in Brazil’s Unified Health System. Participants were ten professionals and it was implemented in two health facilities in São Paulo, SP, Brazil, enabling discussions about three ways of conducting bodily practices: observation and/or imitation of movement sequences; quality of verbal interactions; diversifying teaching strategies. It found that Labanian theory worked, in these cases, in the constitution and improvement of the work with the bodily practices and it is an important reference for training professionals who do such work, pointing to the need to invest in the dissemination of this framework in public health services.
