The need for integrative mental health services for veteran and military populations prompts an interest in non-pharmacological approaches to healthcare. Arts-based dance/movement therapy (DMT) has potential as a valuable component of integrative recovery treatment plans. The research questions explored in this study were: (a) What is the military member's experience of DMT-based mind-body medicine in an integrative healthcare (IM) setting? (b) What is the IM staff's perspective on integrative medicine? and (c) Does this program demonstrate IM foundational tenets (Bravewell Collaborative, 2010)? This holistic case study analyzed an IM program for military service members with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and mental health conditions. Multiple sources provided quantitative and qualitative data from three perspectives: the program as executed, as experienced by patients (n=484), and as interpreted by a researcher-practitioner. Thematic analysis of the qualitative data and descriptive statistics were complemented by an innovative embodied art-based analysis (Lindsay, 2019). Established elements of IM (Bravewell Collaborative, 2010) and Laban Movement Analysis served as analytic frameworks. The findings revealed varying levels of inclusion of the IM elements according to the type of activity (clinical, administrative, research) with a focus on evidence-based care. Likert responses (on a 1 to 10 scale) revealed mean increases of 1.84 for patient mind-body awareness and 2.12 for confidence with mind-body practices. Patient data exhibited patterns of emotional struggle, increased self-awareness, transition, and shifts during treatment: discomfort to comfort, time concerns about incorporating mind-body practices, externalization of goals, language change from rigid to flowing, broadening and expansion of definitions, perspective changes from skeptical to accepting, and identification of breathing as an important learned technique. Findings from the self-collected provider data mirrored the patient responses including feelings of responsibility, frustration, and concern. Results imply the potential importance of supportive leadership and interoceptive awareness in successful operation of an IM program. The culture of wellness may be dependent on cooperation and a collective understanding of IM amongst its members. These findings point to an opportunity for education and skill building among staff, specifically in regard to embodied awareness and IM tenets to narrow understanding gaps and reduce provider burnout. Furthermore, introduction of mind-body skills early in the military career could support resilience, sustain readiness, and mitigate future illness. Practitioner professional standardization would support a stronger network to meet military and veteran needs. Future research should include a larger sample size of IM staff to better illuminate the provider experience.
