Evidence-based practice in physiotherapy should include reasoning as well as definition of practice knowledge and manual skills. The aim of this study was to explore how patients and physiotherapist interact in a situation of motor learning. Six patients with the diagnosis of subacromial impingement were video-filmed during 11 treatment sessions with the same physiotherapist. The aim of the treatment was to improve their initial pattern of movement in arm elevation. The films were analysed with content analysis and the results are presented in three content areas: the context, interaction and professional skills. Further development of methodology, including computer aids for transcriptions, will make digital video analysis an interesting research method for physiotherapists.
