Be Activated training courses
These courses are all about identifying and correcting abnormal movement patterns in the body. These compensation movement patterns are commonly the underlying cause to overload, strain, pain and injuries.
Learn to identify the physical limitations that prevent the nervous system from using your muscles and slings correctly. When we remove the restrictions, the nervous system has the amazing ability to adjust and restore balance in the body. When we can restore balance in the nervous system it affects both our physical and mental abilities.
Learn how to identify and correct the cause of overload, pain, injury, and poor performance. When we can identify and correct the cause, we can make a lasting difference.

Be Educated - Be123 - Be Activated
Meet Carel
I present a training course called Be Activated Level 1 in Australia and South Africa. This course was designed by Douglas Heel and is typically presented in various countries around the world on a regular basis. These include the UK, Ireland, Denmark, USA, Malaysia, Australia and South Africa. Doug and I are currently the only people who present this training course.
We also have a Level 2 course which Douglas presents, and I assist on. Be123 will however be hosting these courses when Douglas comes out to Aus in the future.
The courses are two days long and typically run over a weekend. It is an in person and very practical course.
Douglas also has online training options which I am involved with to some extent.

‘The Douglas Heel Method’
Basic Principles
The Be Activated system is a powerful new understanding of the body. By using the Be Activated techniques you will see the body transform from a defensive, imploded state into one that is powerful and explosive. It is used effectively with a wide scope of clients including children, the elderly, social and elite sportspeople, business people and office workers.
When the body moves optimally, we fire what we call a 123-movement pattern. Here, movement is initiated in zone I, followed by zone 2 and then zone 3. When the body fires an optimal 123 pattern it allows for the body to expand as it’s moving, allowing the body to perform optimally.
This means more speed, strength, agility, balance and endurance. It also means less overload, less pain, less fatigue and improved mental abilities.
