Summary: | The intervention on which this article is based was initiated by a preventive medical department wanting to extend its actions on the sustainable prevention of MSDs. The intervention was based on the activity clinic’s methodological principles from the perspective of people with reported pain having a fate other than that of pathology. Prolonged and repeated observations of the actual work activities change the observed subjects into observers of their activity. The purpose of the context of simple and crossed self-confrontations is to support the development efforts of the professionals through dialogue between them. The occasional professional controversies enrich each person’s knowledge and expertise about the job. The aim of this article is to challenge the methodological possibilitites of MSD prevention by mainly raising the question of the prevention protagonist or even the related question of the place of the professional collective as a potentially sustainable resource in a preventive process. From such a standpoint, the researcher’s efforts address the methods to be applied so that the professionals confront, in appropriate contexts, other work-related movement possibilities within a collective considered as a psychological instrument in the development of their activity.
