Doug is back!

If you've been interested in the Be Activated Technique then this is your chance!

If you've read my story, you will know that Douglas Heel's incredible work is something that has completely changed my life and all those I treat. It really is a game changer. This neuromuscular activation technique has been taught all over the world for over 21 years and has changed countless lives in ways no other technique can achieve positive changes as immediate as this one. 

 

What is Be Activated: Neuromuscular Activation for Human Performance?

 

Our body has two priorities for survival; to breathe and to move – and without both – we will die!  Our body finds ways to meet those priorities, and it’s willing to sacrifice anything else in order to do this. 

 

But these compensations put us at risk, leaving our bodies less resilient, and at risk of poor performance, pain and dysfunction, both in the way we move and the way we behave. If  you experience a traumatic event or injury, you’ll notice the slow and gradual decline in function and performance.  

Physically the result is at best is a loss of energy,  at worst constant chronic pain and reduced function.This loss of energy will also lead to being stuck in a Fight, Flight, or Freeze Survival Mode, completely altering the individual’s mental and emotional states. 

 

It is almost inevitable nowadays – for everyone.  And it’s equally simple to reverse when you really honour what your body needs to function correctly. 

 

We run through the body’s sequencing patterns, testing and activating, so muscles and structures can return to their correct right patterns – they start doing their own job, rather than someone else’s.  Then the body and brain can integrate and allow the you to work effectively and efficiently. A stress-free body can go back to working at full capacity, with full energy.  The measurements are important, but what you feel is always foremost in our minds as we work.

 

It’s  all done using Activations which can be used safely and immediately, in any setting. 

 

What sets Be Activated apart from all other techniques?

“What if the foundations on which you base your work are violating the very principles of the body?”

So many of the ideas we’ve been taught and then teach our clients are the opposite of what the body needs to function fully.Be Activated offers a powerful new understanding of the body and its incredible ability to shift immediately when the right techniques are applied. The techniques you’ll learn will change the way you work.

 

Simple changes to incorrectly functioning muscles allow the body to make immediate shifts towards resilience, strength and speed. The results are incredible. An Activated body will quickly change from a state of tension and pain, to a strong relaxed state of excellent performance. When we do the right thing, the body responds immediately.

 

We’ll consider the body’s response to stress, and study the body’s relaxation process. We’ll link this to Activation techniques.  You’ll be guided through the Activation sequenced treatment process, from the trunk through to the lower and upper limbs. We’ll cover more Activation techniques to really dig deep, and I’ll demonstrate full client assessment and treatment.

 

You’ll get to experience every concept and Activation technique yourself, and with plenty of time for practice, questions…and more practice, so you can really integrate the system. The science comes second. You need to feel the difference yourself.

 

We’ll deepen your understanding and excitement of the techniques, and cover further Activations.  You’ll learn how to apply the Activation techniques in wider functional situations, and we’ll address any blocks you might be experiencing.  

We’ll  build on your knowledge by applying the techniques to movement patterns, zones of transformation and exercise.  If time permits we will introduce new concepts around visual field stress patterns, and we’ll look at breaking associated belief patterns.

 

You will leave feeling fully equipped to apply the techniques with your clients, confident in achieving lasting results.  These techniques offer an incredibly powerful toolkit that is not confined to the clinic; they can be applied anywhere at anytime on practically anyone.

 

So many of the ideas we’ve been taught and then teach our clients are the opposite of what the body needs to function fully. Be Activated offers a powerful new understanding of the body and its incredible ability to shift immediately when the right techniques are applied. The techniques you’ll learn will change the way you work.

I teach physiotherapists, athletic coaches, doctors, personal trainers, pilates trainers, chiropractors, osteopaths, personal coaches… And people who simply want a powerful, fresh understanding of the body. My courses are fast-moving, hands-on, and thought-provoking. We won’t ignore any exciting new discovery if we stumble across one together. We’ll run over-time if the work merits it.

You’ll probably have to re-evaluate much of your current thinking."
