DOUGLAS HEEL
Creator of ‘Be Activated’ Muscle Activations
“I’ve been teaching this for 11 years now, always adding and taking away. The more I’ve taught it, the easier it’s become to understand. At first it was just ‘hey, isn’t the body cool – I do this, and you become faster or stronger.’ But now it’s really become a philosophy.””
The ‘Be Activated’ muscle activation system was created by South African physiotherapist Douglas Heel, who has worked with everything from elite sports to chronic pain, as well as teaching his philosophy all around the world.
”I kept questioning if what we’ve been taught was actually right, should it not work much better? Is this really the way we function?”
Having always been labelled the ‘curious kid’, Doug went searching for answers, learning, analysing and re-evaluating just about every approach to how the body functions and as a result developed, in my opinion, one of the most incredible objective and results driven systems in musculoskeletal medicine that I have ever come across.
Be Activated is not just a muscle activation technique and if you search M.A.T there are loads, Douglas’s system is unique and totally different to anything else out there.
We have seen Douglas facilitate incredible changes with patients right in front of our eyes, and we have seen it in our clinics. So, by combining the ‘Be Activated’ assessment and treatment method with manual therapy and exercise, we believe we can help improve the pathway of those living with Parkinson’s.
Douglas is most definitely a ‘one off’ and thank goodness for that, because it is all too easy to sit back and believe everything we read, see and hear without questioning.
So, we invite you to consider a safe, natural and results driven approach that Douglas has tried and tested and developed for us all. What have you got to lose!
