The search strategies approach (SSA) to skill acquisition has its roots in the dynamical systems approach and has demonstrated a number of theoretical advances to the area. We argue that its advances can and are already linked to practical applications when we consider the method of Moshe Feldenkrais. The Feldenkrais Method (FM) considers skill acquisition (from rehabilitation to daily life activities improvement) in terms of exploration of new possibilities to achieve efficiency in movement. In this paper, we demonstrate how the SSA encompasses Feldenkrais method (FM) demonstrating its applicability. Furthermore, we point to new possibilities in both FM and SSA if these are to be formally linked.
