For sample adults who had received physical therapy (MOVPT) for the condition they used a movement technique for the most (MOVTCONMOST), MOVPTTIM indicates whether they received physical therapy before, at about the same time, or after trying a movement technique.

- Received mental health counseling (MOVCOUN)
- Timing of mental health counseling (MOVCOUNTIM
- Received prescription medications (MOVPMED)

- Received over-the-counter medications (MOVNPMED)
- Timing of over-the-counter medications (MOVNPMEDTIM
- Received surgery (MOVSURG)
- Timing of surgery (MOVSURGTIM
To collect this information, interviewers asked, "Did you receive any of these conventional medical treatments for [condition for which the reported movement technique was used the most]?" and entered all treatments reported by the respondent. For each treatment reported, interviewers asked whether such treatment was received before, at about the same time, or after trying a movement technique.
Respondents could report having used the following techniques in the past year:
- Alexander Technique (MOVALEXYR)
- Feldenkrais (MOVFELDYR)
