You’re not missing more treatment techniques.
You’re missing a clear framework for where to start.
You don’t need more techniques. You need a clear clinical roadmap… and one you can trust under pressure.
Master the anatomical, neurological, and visceral connections that drive mobility, motor control, and pain, and use a repeatable assessment protocol to guide your plan of care SO YOU CAN GET FASTER RESULTS FOR YOUR PATIENTS (YES, EVEN THE MOST DIFFICULT CASES).
Here's what's actually happening.
You've taken the courses. A lot of them.
You get good results, most of the time. But there's a handful of patients who don't respond, no matter what you try, and they're the ones that stay with you.
Maybe you've wondered if you're missing a technique, so you keep taking more courses. But the thing that's actually missing isn't a technique. It's an assessment that listens to the body, one that lets the body show you where the priority is, where it's protecting itself. Then you keep listening, reassessing as you go, so the sequence of treatment is the one that body actually needed, not the one you planned before you walked in the room.
I had great results. I had a full toolbox, a stack of CE courses behind me, and athletes who showed up ready to do the work. Most of the time, I could figure it out inside two weeks.
But some weeks looked different. I'd do the same manual therapy, session after session, just to keep the exercise-based rehab holding. Mobility improved. Stability improved. Strength improved. Movement patterns improved. And they'd still have pain. Still have impaired function. We'd make real progress in a session, and they'd come back the next day like none of it happened, like they'd been hit with the neuralizer from Men in Black.
I think about two athletes in particular.
One was an MLB pitcher, post labral repair. Shoulder strength, stability, mobility, all good. A pitching coach working alongside us. Everything checked out on paper, and he still couldn't get over the hump. Every time we progressed him, something in his body pushed back. Now I wonder how much of that was his liver. Or underlying nervous system tension. Or both.
The other came to our team after a "failed" adductor release for a sports hernia. PT, AT, LMT, strength coach, nutrition, doctors, the whole team around him, and we still couldn't get him out of pain or back to his sport. He went from surgeon to surgeon looking for the thing nobody had found yet. I wonder now about an obturator nerve entrapment. Or referred visceral pain. Or a nervous system holding pattern that no one was trained to look for.
Those cases stayed with me. But the one that changed everything was my mom's. Her shoulder pain got treated as a shoulder problem, until it turned out to be lung cancer. That's what sent me looking into the viscera and nervous system in the first place, not just to catch red flags like hers, but because I realized poor outcomes are sometimes the red flag themselves.
Here's what most training misses: the viscera and the nervous system.
Your body is wired for survival first. The musculoskeletal system's real job isn't movement, it's protection. When an organ can't move freely in its container, or a nerve can't glide the way it should, or the nervous system is under chronic tension, the MSK system responds the only way it knows how: it locks things down.
Kidneys not moving well? The body tightens the thorax and limits rotation, because rotation is what threatens them. Sciatic nerve not gliding through the leg fascia? Hip flexion gets limited, the hamstring tightens, to keep the nerve from being stretched past what it can tolerate. Central nervous system under tension? The spine holds lateral flexion to reduce cranial pressure, and that shows up downstream as pelvic asymmetry and limited hip or leg mobility. Gut inflamed or backed up? Abdominal contraction gets limited, to protect against a spike in intra-abdominal pressure.
None of that is dysfunction. It's protection.
Standard training teaches us to see tightness, weakness, or a poor movement pattern and assume something is structurally wrong, or that it's purely a motor control problem to be corrected. That assumption puts your assessment and your hands above the body's own intelligence, the same intelligence that's kept it alive and adapting for however many decades it's had to. Movement is real information. It's just not the only information, and it's not the most important. It's downstream of what the organs and nervous system need protected. It's the vehicle, not the driver.
What is the LTAP®, What makes it different
You're learning to read the anatomical, neurological, and visceral connections that drive mobility, motor control, and pain, using assessments you probably already know, orthopedic-based. What's different is what we're paying attention to, and how we're interpreting it. Adding in osteopathic inhibition testing, a different concept entirely from the inhibition testing you may know from Applied Kinesiology, turns an old, familiar assessment into something that gives you far more valuable information than it used to.
Normally, when you find limited mobility, weak strength, or poor stability, you treat it as a structural problem to fix. The LTAP® adds a layer most training leaves out: osteopathic inhibition, and a whole-organism lens for reading what those same findings mean. Sometimes a "problem" isn't structural at all. It's strategic. The body doing something on purpose, to protect an organ or a nerve that matters more to it than the joint you're looking at.
The order matters. You start with one body-wide assessment that narrows things down, is there a protection pattern here, and is it central or peripheral. From there, four more assessments get specific: where, exactly, and what's driving it.
Here's what people usually get wrong about it. They think the LTAP® replaces what they already do, or that they need specialized visceral and nervous system treatment tools to use it. Neither is true, it's an add-on. PRI, DNS, Barral, dry needling, exercise, Pilates, manual therapy, whatever you already use, you're already treating the viscera and nervous system with it, you just haven't had a way to know that's what's happening or where to aim it.
I've trained extensively in visceral manipulation through the Barral Institute, and it's some of the best work out there, worth learning eventually in its own right. But it's not required for the LTAP® to work. In fact, it was in a Barral course that I first heard a version of something Jean-Pierre Barral himself is known to have said: a mediocre technique in the area the body points you to will do more than the best technique in the area you'd have picked on your own.
Over this 7 week course and/or 2 day in-person course you will learn the entire Locator Test Assessment Protocol®.
LTAP® is rooted in the belief that the patient’s body knows best. The LTAP® is a sequence of orthopedic-based tests that “listen to the body” to determine where to begin treatment.
The goal is to determine if the body is protecting something in the viscera or nervous system. When the body is protecting these important structures it manifests as limited joint mobility, altered motor control, and pain anywhere in the body.
What You Can Expect Clinically
The first time it works, most clinicians are still skeptical while it's happening. They're running an assessment or treatment they've run a hundred times before, and this time something shifts, ROM, mobility, strength, stability, pain, all changing right there in the session. They can't quite believe it. Neither can their patient.
Then the patient comes back, and it held. That's when the skepticism turns into something else, sometimes it's a laugh out loud, sometimes it's pure excitement. And the curiosity that follows is a different kind than what brought them here. Before, they were searching from a place of lack, what am I missing, what's wrong with me that I can't figure this out. Now they're searching from joy. From wanting more, not from feeling behind.
Here's the part that's a good problem to have, and also genuinely disorienting at first: patients start getting discharged faster than clinicians are used to. Caseloads that used to stay full for months start moving, and suddenly the question isn't how do I help this person, it's how do I get more people in the door. Referrals start solving that, because happy patients talk.
The other shift is quieter, but it's the one that actually drives all of this: they spend more time assessing, and less time treating. Less repeating the same manual therapy session after session, hoping it holds this time. Less handing out corrective exercise HEPs and hoping the patient does them right, five sets of ten, three times a week, and it still doesn't stick. The assessment is doing the work of telling them what to do, so patients can just move again, instead of being handed one more homework sheet.
A Peek Inside…
SEE WHAT OTHER STUDENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE LTAP®
Melissa, Physical Therapist (28 years pelvic PT)
“Excellent course! I have so many intervention tools, but I am often guessing where to start treatment. This course gives you a clear assessment framework to identify protective patterns so you know exactly where to start.”
Jenna Lewis, PT, DPT
“This is the best continuing education course I have ever taken. I use the LTAP with every single person I see. It builds my confidence and gets me better results.”
Storm Baynes-Ryan – Physiotherapist (NZ)
“I’ve made changes to clients’ symptoms that have been around for a long time in one session and the changes have stuck.”
Liz Waddell, PT, DPT
“Within 5 minutes, I reduced her pain… and we didn’t even touch her shoulder. This was a dramatic improvement from her prior PT session.”
Jillian Egan, CMT
“Before LTAP, I was working harder. Now I’m working smarter. Results are lasting, and clients don’t need me weekly anymore.”
Nicole Bulow – PT
“I’ve gone from getting good results to exceptional results.”
Christy Nguyen, PT, DPT
“This course has helped me be more efficient and allowed me to help more people move and feel better.”
Alicia Champagne, Athletic Trainer
“Within the first few weeks, I was able to get results with patients I had been working with for months.”
My mom is the reason this exists.
For years, she had shoulder and upper back pain. Every doctor and PT treated it as rotator cuff tendinitis, poor posture. She did the rehab, the massages, the exercises. She never got better. And instead of anyone stopping to ask why a standard treatment plan wasn't working, they doubled down: she was overweight, out of shape, not doing enough. The story became about her, not about what they were missing.
Eventually, she stopped going. Stopped complaining.
What they missed was a lung riddled with cancer. Her pain, her limited mobility, her strength, even her posture, all of it was her body responding to that, not a rotator cuff and not her weight.
That's why an assessment has to consider the viscera. Not as an occasional exception, as standard practice.
And that's why I don't think it's enough to just get someone results eventually. If a patient isn't improving in a reasonable amount of time, that's not a sign to keep doing more of the same, or to blame the patient, it's a red flag. The lack of results is information. It's telling you to look somewhere you haven't looked yet.
The model most of us were trained in, biomechanical, orthopedic, musculoskeletal-first, is incomplete. It doesn't account for the whole organism, the viscera and the nervous system included. When we accept mediocre results as normal, we're accepting that some people just won't get better, and calling that the cost of doing business. I don't think that's true. I think it's a gap in the model.
This course exists to close that gap, so results like what happened to my mom become the red flag they should have been all along, not something we miss for years.
This is for you if you're working with any patient population.
But the credential isn't really what makes someone right for this course. It's this: you already get good results, and you still know they could be better. Something feels missing, you're just not sure what. You love learning; you're not doing this course because you have to. You care, genuinely, about your patients and about being clinically excellent, not just competent.
And you're sick of it. The two or three out of every ten patients who don't respond no matter what you try, the ones who leave you quietly wondering if you're actually good at this. Those patients are the reason you're reading this page.

Should you bundle the online course and the in-person experience?
I can confidently say that bundling the courses will give you the best clinical outcomes (and is the best value overall).
The benefits of bundling the online and in-person courses:
You’ll have ZERO overwhelm when it comes to learning the LTAP® assessment. You’ll have the time to move through the online course content week by week without getting overwhelmed. Each week will build on the previous week and you’ll have lots of time to practice the assessments you learn in the clinic
You’ll get hands-on, real-time feedback. Once you arrive at the in-person course, we’ll go through each section of the LTAP® piece by piece through hands-on practice where you will get my feedback on hand placement, pressure, and test assessment which will give you a better opportunity for the best clinical outcomes. With live feedback and practice, we can perfect the assessment in real-time.
You’ll be exposed to treatment options that are not covered in the online course. Treatment is not the focus of the LTAP®, because it’s an assessment-based course. But when we meet in person, we’re able to dive even deeper into clinical cases and treatment options. You’ll walk away with fresh treatment ideas that are specific to your LTAP assessment results, which will help you get even better clinical outcomes.
Become MovementREV LTAP® certified. By attending an in-person course and completing the online 7-week course, you’ll meet the standards for being eligible to take the certification exam. (Opportunities for live courses will be limited as there are only 24-30 seats for this course, and it is only offered 4x per year).

Frequently Asked Questions
IS THIS COURSE RIGHT FOR ME?
-
No, and this comes up a lot. Applied Kinesiology's version tests a muscle somewhere in the body and uses it as an indirect signal for something else going on, an organ, an allergen, a meridian. The muscle itself isn't really what's being assessed, it's a stand in.
Osteopathic inhibition is different. You're working directly on the tissue itself, over the actual anatomy connecting that area to the nervous system and organs it's protecting. No stand-ins, no indirect signals. You're getting information straight from the source.

-
The course material is the same as the in-person course; however, in the seven-week online course, you will spend one week each on every assessment test, allowing you to get ample repetitions in your hands and truly utilize the LTAP in your practice setting. You will also have extended time in “lecture” and Q&A with weekly live zoom calls. It is the perfect companion to the in-person course to fully grasp and use the LTAP and new lens of view of assessing and treating the body.
The in-person course is two full practical days of hands-on learning and real-time feedback from both myself and other students so you can perfect your clinical skills using the LTAP (You’ll also get BONUS treatment options and clinical pearls that are not discussed in the online course!) There really is NO REPLACEMENT for the magic of being in the room together and learning as a group completely hands-on.
If you want to become certified as an LTAP provider, you will need BOTH the 7 week course and the in-person course to be eligible to sit for the exam and case studies.
-
No.
You do not need visceral training.
Because you’re not learning techniques.
You’re learning how to identify where the body needs attention first.You’ve been influencing the nervous system and viscera the entire time.
LTAP® simply gives you the lens to see it.
-
Using the LTAP® will not replace your preferred treatment approach but instead allow you to get even better and more consistent results while helping to determine where to apply the techniques.
-
Yes, the LTAP® can be used in the virtual space or with non-touch licensed providers. The tests have an equivalent movement based tests to use in place of the hands on tests, or use to provide extra confirmation.
-
The online LTAP® level 1 is focused on the assessment process only, allowing for a week-by-week practical application and deep understanding of the LTAP® and how it can be used within any treatment system. The entire LTAP® is included in the previous mentorship program; however, it is presented in two weeks of the 17-week program.
Starting in 2024, the LTAP™ Level 1 course is now a prerequisite for the REVitalize Mentorship
-
This course takes the osteopathic philosophies like “the body is the wisest, and has self healing abilities” and applies them through a lens of orthopedic tests and treatments. It takes into consideration the importance and hierarchy of the body that the visceral organs are of primary importance and influence the musculoskeletal function and pain. This course does not teach the Barral ostetopathic listening techniques or any specific visceral or neural manipulation techniques.
-
This course teaches the entire LTAP® so you are able to more precisely determine where to start. You can determine if it is the nervous system or visceral. If it is visceral, specifically which organ. You can also determine if there is a peripheral nerve entrapment.
-
We will discuss treatment guidelines and treatment options will be provided. However, it is encouraged that you use treatment techniques and tools you already practice with.

Testimonials:
“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.”
—LAURA HUTTO, PT, DPT
“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.”
—SHAWNA JONES, LMT
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.
—JULIE EMBREE, PT
“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.”

“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.”
