One of the things I hear from sports healthcare professionals is that in their day to day work, though they get good results, they feel like something is missing, they feel uninspired, and get frustrated by the few clients that are challenging, which leaves them questioning themselves and even lacking the confidence to guarantee results. They can feel stuck in a rut using their current tools treating clients after client in a similar way. 

What most sports healthcare professionals miss is the ability to trust the wisdom of the body and be able to listen to it to guide the treatment sequencing and consider a true WHOLE ORGANISM approach to care, one that considers the viscera and the nervous system, not just the musculoskeletal system and the biomechanics of movement. When you know where to start by listening to the body you will get fast results that stick using any tool or treatment approach you like. Getting consistent results like that will improve your confidence and have you feeling inspired by every client's session, even the most complicated clients. 

The LTAP is five orthopedic based assessments that guide the clinician or practitioner to where the body wants to begin treatment. It reveals the area of the body that will result in the greatest global change and facilitate optimal dynamic alignment and self healing capacity of the body.

“Anna is a gifted practitioner and teacher, she knows so much about the body and its anatomy. The LTAP process is way outside the box, for most healthcare providers, but Anna is able to break it down and put it back together in a way that is useful. The assessment tests are not difficult to perform, but practice is needed to trust what you feel and know what to do next. These things are easily accomplished in the class.

The process has been very helpful in treating my lumbar fusion patient. When we started, she had significantly altered neurodynamics and neuro symptoms in her leg. Working through this process has greatly normalized her neurodynamics and she no longer has symptoms in her leg.”

“I’ve been using the LTAP on a client that was in a car accident and has gone to countless people for help with their neck. In a relaxed position my client’s neck would pull to the right. Turning the clients neck to look left, you would then see the significant pull of the neck and within seconds the neck would turn right again.

With just the breathing exercises the first day we noticed the huge difference in the delay of the neck turning. Following the other assessments we then found a restricted area in the abdomen. Some light cupping, more breathing exercises, and using the courageous ball, the neck finally relaxed for a full session. And we’re noticing that with each day the neck isn’t pulling so harshly to the left anymore.”

The LTAP course helped me bring many years of experience and classroom knowledge together. I am often faced with patients who may have failed previous treatments or have fallen off their exercise regime given to them and develop pain again. This approached has helped me to efficiently find the areas of dysfunction and progress the patient more quickly. It is a game changer for both my patients and myself. Thank you.

“The LTAP and Level 1 course has been nothing short of a game-changer. I've been able to provide consistent and efficient results for my clients using the LTAP within my assessment protocols. I've recommended and would recommend this and the MovementREV Mentorship to all health and wellness practitioners.”

—BENJAMIN KLEINERT, MANUAL THERAPIST

“I'm a movement, not a hands-on practitioner and this course was spot on for me. For those of us who have worked in this business for many years and have education from all aspects, this course helped me to connect the dots in a way I've not experienced. I know that I can affect change in clients with my approach but I often feel like I'm working backwards. I can usually see these tension patterns (that this course has helped me to understand) in people and hope the movement process will get us where we are going. And it does, but knowing more about where to start has helped me to address these pattens early on with my clients give them a more level ground from which to start. With a little bit of tweaking (and 6 weeks of this course) I now feel like our movement sessions are cleaner and clearer and the results (chronic pain begins to dissipate, strength and mobility gains) are coming quicker. I've always believed that that softer side of movement and body work is the most potent and after working with you I feel like I can proceed with confidence. Thank you Anna.”

“My clients think I’m magical! Today I used the LTAP on a client — Within 5 minutes, I reduced her pain using the Basic Exercise for the vagus nerve. 10 minutes later I alleviated her left shoulder and arm pain after cupping over her right ribcage/liver. (The liver was the most restricted area on her standing sidebend.) Then I resolved her back tension and further improved her left shoulder range of motion by working on the left ribcage and left upper abdomen—these areas, respectively, didn’t spring well on thoracic decompression and then was indicated by visceral inhibition MMT testing of left shoulder IR.

This experience was a dramatic improvement from her prior PT session with me.

At her last visit I spent a full hour doing MFR, joint mobilization, and a few nerve glides along the left arm and neck. Her range of motion improved somewhat, but she said her body felt crummy afterwards. Additionally, the improvements didn’t last even with consistent adherence to her strength and range of motion homework.

We are both more optimistic about todays outcome even though I didn’t touch her shoulder or arm.”

—LIZ WADDELL, PT, DPT
