The ‘Be Activated’ system developed by Physiotherapist Doug Heel offers a powerful new perspective on why the body becomes dysfunctional. The system combines Physiotherapy knowledge with principles from Osteopathic medicine and Kinesiology. It involves specific tests and treatment techniques to both identify the musculoskeletal patterns currently used by the body and correct any compensation’s that might be occurring.
Be Activated looks at the body as a whole and considers how it works as an entire system rather than distinct parts. It promotes greater structural integrity and efficiency so that the right structure is doing the right job at the right time. It can be used to improve sporting performance, aid rehabilitation, increase resilience and as a tool for stress management. It has also recently been linked anecdotally with improving the symptoms of Long Covid.
