About Anna and MovementREV
Hey! I’m Anna, and I’m so glad you landed here today! I’m an athletic trainer, educator, anatomy nerd, speaker, aunty, and constant learner based in San Diego, California. I love lounging in a hammock with a good book (or for a nap), any type of dip, Topo Chico lime, Olipop cola, or sparkling water, staying active, and asking good questions. You can usually find me on a plane headed to take care of one of my professional athletes, teaching PTs and ATs in my signature course, the LTAP™ Level 1, taking care of my house plants, hanging at the beach, or being a deckhand with Gone Whale Watching (the BEST whale watching company in Southern California, BTW) and trying to live out my wildlife photography dreams.
In my business, MovementREV, LLC, I provide private consulting to professional athletes for injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance optimization. I also teach physical therapists and athletic trainers how to get better outcomes, even for complex cases, using my unique methodology, which combines an osteopathic approach with a traditional orthopedic approach for assessment and treatment (manual and exercise-based) for injuries, pain, and performance.
This approach considers the whole organism- including the viscera and the nervous system, not just the musculoskeletal system and the biomechanics. Better outcomes mean fewer treatment sessions needed, less time spent repeating techniques, and the confidence to guarantee results for their patients and know when there are red flags.
As an athletic trainer, I’ve worked exclusively with elite and professional athletes in the NFL, MLB, NBA, USTA, WTA, PGA, LPGA, NHL, MLS, Olympics, USATF, and Division 1 universities. Along with many years of experience treating professional athletes, my sports health care practice is an integration and assimilation of over 5000+ hours of professional continuing education, blending approaches from many influences such as movement impairment systems, DNS, Pilates, yoga, EXOS, FMS, visceral and neural manipulation, and more.
Between my Instagram, YouTube channel, podcast (Unreal Results for PTs and ATs), MovementREV education courses and mentorship, speaking at industry symposiums, and consulting, I educate fellow healthcare and wellness professionals so that they can truly have fun at work with every patient, have a newfound curiosity, excitement, and feeling of awe about assessment and the ability and capacity the body has to change and heal. I help them get people better faster and have more ease and fulfillment in their day-to-day lives.
You’ll be blown away by how much you’ll learn from many different philosophies, approaches, and tools assimilated into my tried-and-true, unique approach to rehabilitation, movement, and performance.
When I’m not traveling, teaching, or working on athletes, you can find me close to the water with a camera or book in hand or taking even more continuing education classes!

Speaking
Besides mentoring and training through my online and in-person courses and consulting, I also educate healthcare, sports performance, and movement professionals through speaking at various functions such as events, conferences, podcasts, and more.
As an athletic training professional, I’ve spoken or presented at the PBATS Baseball Medicine Conference, National Athletic Trainers Association Annual Symposium, The Far West Athletic Trainers Meeting, Arizona State Athletic Trainers Meeting, Rocky Mountain Athletic Trainers Association Meeting, Korean Athletic Trainers Association Meeting, Japan Athletic Training Organization Meeting, Professional Hockey Athletic Trainers Society Annual Meeting, The Annual Meeting of the Pilates Method Alliance, just to name a few.
Typically, I speak on assessment, the process of returning high-performing athletes back to sport, presented case studies, talked about my approach to rest, regeneration, and self-care, and presented my tried and true MovementREV, LLC methodology.
