Phenomenological perspectives on movement and participation Participation requires being an experiencing, tactile-kinetic body (13, 14). Prerequisite to kinetics, or moving, is being and having a body. A body that moves and explores itself, objects, others, and its environment. As embodied beings we are in continuous reciprocal relation with our surroundings, implying experiences of being observed and evaluated by others (14). Through moving ourselves we interact with the world, participate in it; and experience both ourselves and the physical and social world we inhabit (13).
