okay then. couple things:
1. you can't "find back" something. you can find it (or, in this case, find it again), or you can get it back. native speakers with different dialects (looking at the australians), feel free to correct me, but those words just don't work together like that in american.
2. "the movements groove" doesn't quite work. did you mean "the movements' grooves" (i.e. the grooves belonging to the movements)? because that would be odd but technically correct.
3. because of the way "groove" is used idiomatically, that whole construction is just not something that a native speaker would come up with. that's why it's so interesting: it makes sense, it absolutely gets the idea across, i'd just never think to string those words together in that way. i'd go with, "getting back in the groove," and if i wanted to be clear that i meant it in the "greasing the groove" sense i'd add "of the different movements."
