Movement REV

Movement REV I teach sports healthcare pros how to get better outcomes & unreal results even for complex cases.

MovementREV is a company founded by Anna Hartman AT, MS, LAT, ATC, CSCS, PMA-CPT. Anna is passionate about improving athletes' performance and assimilating all the current movement science information into tangible take home pieces for both the athlete and sports rehabilitation or reconditioning clinician. The focus is intelligent movement through awareness and application of blending foundational science and current manual / therapeutic approaches.

This was my Mom’s last trip to visit me before she would be diagnosed with lung cancer 5 months later. I remember it so well, we went to lunch at The Greene House in Kierland Commons in Scottsdale. Then she joined me for a work trip to Pensacola, FL. We had the best time.

In hindsight there were plenty of signs that she was sick. She was really tired, she had been losing weight (which for someone who always struggled too, this was a nice change, but 🚩), she would get a little short of breath or extra tired if we walked long distances, she had a cough (but often did), still had unresolved shoulder and neck pain (what’s new it’s been 10+ yrs of it).

This is the 12th Mother’s Day without her and for whatever reason I’ve been missing her more lately. It’s always hard to know why it just ebbs and flows, life continues on.

I will have days where I think “oh I should call my Mom” and grab the phone. It’s funny how our brain works, but also I think that is also proof that they never really leave us. She is always here. She is a part of me, my sister, my nieces, my aunt, my uncles. I still feel her love.

My vision for MovementREV is inspired by my Mom and what I learned from her diagnosis and lung cancer journey.

To revolutionize the physical rehab industry by shifting the clinical paradigm away from purely musculoskeletal and biomechanical models toward a whole-organism approach that honors the complexity of the human body, integrating the nervous system, visceral influence, and osteopathic principles into orthopedic care.

• Empower clinicians to feel calm, confident, and clear in their treatment decisions, especially with complex or “stuck” patients.

• Redefine what expert assessment looks like, replacing guesswork with a reproducible, neuroviscerally-informed protocol (LTAP®) that actually shows you where to start and deeper drivers. To more easily see when a lack of improvement can be a 🚩.

• Create a global movement of clinicians who see more, feel more, and treat better, getting real, fast, and lasting results that traditional orthopedic models often miss.

Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom, and all the Moms out there.

Another awesome business event with this amazing group thanks to !

Love to talk shop and learn new strategy and have some fun with people who “get it.” And I love to hear what these amazing women are up to in life and business.

As always Jill treated us to some fun and amazing guest speakers. ( )

And huge shout out to for joining me for a couple days. I am endlessly grateful that she loves MovementREV and is an integral part of its growth. We definitely dropped the ball not getting a pic together though!

It’s been awhile since I’ve been to NYC, and though it takes a day or so to orient to the sounds and the change of pace, I can’t deny that city has a special energy that’s hard not to like.

Can’t wait for the next one!

Most of us got into this work because we wanted to actually help people. Which is why the old excuse of “you can’t help everyone” blows my mind.

When you hold that belief, patients end up in rehab purgatory. Going to rehab for 8 weeks to 8 months or more, thinking it just “takes time.”

Most clinicians aren’t failing because they don’t care enough or don’t know enough techniques. They’re trying to get whole-organism results through a compartmentalized model.

And eventually you start to feel it:

That quiet frustration when patients improve... but not fully. When things help... but don’t hold. When you know something is missing, but you can’t quite see what yet.

That’s the gap the LTAP® was built to bridge. An assessment that considers the whole organism — the integration of the visceral and nervous system with the musculoskeletal system, and their influence on movement, pain, and dysfunction.

Ready to work with the inter-connectedness instead of around it? Listen to or DM me “LTAP” to check out the upcoming Level 1 courses.

It’s not that the biomechanics don’t matter when it comes to injury, pain, and dysfunction.

It’s that there is more leading to why things are “off”.

One of the main jobs of the musculoskeletal system is to protect the vital organs, so it seems reasonable that the body my limit mobility, change motor control, and be sensitive to pain, when there are visceral dysfunctions.

And spoiler alert any movement and any treatment has been effecting the viscera- you just haven’t been seeing it through that lens.

Learn how to assess and treat from this lens, a more whole organism paradigm can be a game changer it getting faster results that stick for your clients!

Listen to the most recent episode of the “The Visceral Connection to Musculoskeletal Pain.”

05/05/2026

Movement is life.

From a cellular and fluid level, to an organ level, to a musculoskeletal level, the whole organism uses movement to maintain vitality.

The last episode of the I talk about the relationship between the viscera, the nervous system, and the musculoskeletal system and why understanding this connection can completely change your clinical outcomes.

I walk you through the physiology behind visceral referred pain, how the spine and organs influence each other, and how to start integrating this into your assessment and treatment approach without overcomplicating your process.

This episode is about expanding your lens so you’re not just treating symptoms, but understanding what’s driving them.

Have you listened or watched yet???

What an absolutely fun 3 days with this group of clinicians! This was a beta test of the LTAP® level 3 (all about the contents- aka the viscera.)

I am so very grateful for them spending the long weekend with me exploring assessment and treatment of the viscera and nervous system.

They have the foundation of the LTAP® Level 1 course and wanted to narrow their treatment targets even more to have even better results for their clients.

We explored the concept of diagnostic convergence to improve our confidence of following the body’s wisdom on where to start.

We studied the anatomy in 3D via touch, pictures, imagery and embodied movement. Then extended assessments into treatments, understanding that intention and precision can completely change manual and movement based treatment for the better.

I love being in the lab and critically thinking and problem solving and so happy to have an amazing group to be part of the experience for me!

Something that often gets overlooked despite clinicians’ common sense and knowledge:

Musculoskeletal pain patterns from the viscera.

We all understand the musculoskeletal symptoms of a heart attack.

Or the back pain associated with a kidney infection or the menstrual cycle.

Yet when a patient walks into your clinic or athletic training room with shoulder pain…
do you consider the viscera?

Or do you instantly think only musculoskeletal?

The majority of clinicians are so steeped in the bias of the musculoskeletal system, how it relates to biomechanics and pain, that it becomes the only lens they see through.

And that lens colors everything.

👉🏽 Viscerosomatic convergence:
The neurophysiological mechanism where visceral and somatic nerves converge on the same spinal cord neuron.

👉🏽 Resulting in: visceral referred pain.

The brain can confuse the message due to the lack of clarity in signals coming from the organs to the nervous system.

👉🏽 Viscerosomatic reflex:
Visceral dysfunction can cause localized somatic dysfunction at the associated spinal segment or related areas.

The visceral containers and their suspensory ligaments attach directly to the skeleton. Which means they can significantly influence mobility, dysfunction, and pain.

And because the viscera, their containers, and their ligaments are all innervated by peripheral nerves…

The communication between organs, joints, and muscles can become mismatched.

Dysfunction in one can drive dysfunction in the other.

This is why your assessment must consider the viscera and the nervous system and the role they play in biomechanics and pain.
