What people are saying about Be Activated

“Douglas Heel’s ‘Be-Activated – Level 1’ Workshop is, without question, the single best remedial-bodywork based course I have attended – Doug really is one of the world’s very best experts in his field.”
John Shirley, Personal Trainer

“Douglas has a fun, focused and irreverent presentation style, and I’ve finally got answers to some long standing questions”
Joe Kelly, Functional Movement Specialist

“The course completely blew me away; rarely does a single course ‘change your life’ but this one did. It was a complete game-changer in my success in summiting K2 this year.”
Adrian Hayes, Record-breaking adventurer & K2 summiteer

“As Doug Heel quotes “Imagine all you ever learned was wrong”. I have never been on a course where virtually everything works within seconds-unbelievable.”
Ian Gordon,  Sports Therapist

“‘Be Activated is by far the most useful course I have ever taken for my own development and for that of my clients. The activation techniques that I took away with me were simple, effective and easy to use straight away. Doug’s energy and enthusiasm for the subject made the experience. It was a breath of fresh air to be taught by such an inspirational teacher. Thank you.”

“Today, [a 55 year old man who had suffered from knee problem for 16 years saw] his legs went from a moderate genu varum deformity… to almost completely straight. Two sessions, about 20 minutes treatment each time, and all I did was Activation.”
Helen Robartes, proformancevetphysio.com

“He (young international rugby player) went from not being able to jog from one end of the treatment room to the other, to being able to train for x3 full sessions the rest of the week, and still weeks on, he  continues with no pain!!”
Mark Kehoe

“I activated a client with knee trouble today. She can’t remember when she could last lunge, weight bearing on one knee and touch the floor with the other. She thinks it might have been at school… She was 50 last month!  Within 6 minutes of activating her, she could lunge again…”
Ross Young, capaspeed.com
