The science behind activation is incredibly complex but it can explain why every non-contact injury you have ever experienced has occurred and why every deterioration in your performance has happened. It can then help prevent them from happening again.
The best part about Activation is that the results are immediate and measurable.
The human body has two priorities for survival. The first is to BREATHE. The second is to MOVE. Without both we will die.
A correctly functioning human body has evolved to move in a 1-2-3 sequence pattern, initiated by the diaphragm.
The continual stress and pressures of everyday life mean your body will adopt compensation patterns and sacrifice anything it can to meet these two main priorities.
These compensations get tired and eventually break, resulting in pain, dysfunction, injury, and poor physical and mental performance.
The reason that neuromuscular activation (Be Activated or Activation for short) is so different is because these compensations are just as simple to reverse.
Activation is a hands-on, sequenced treatment system that is used to reset the nervous system by correcting breathing and movement patterns, dramatically influencing the body and mind.
We start by testing what your body is doing now and show you exactly what compensating cheat patterns you are using to get through your day, whatever form it may take.
We then Activate your body in sequence, using hands-on techniques to stimulate reflexes and release tight, collapsed soft tissue in the body. These areas are generally different from the point of swing restriction or location of pain and injury.
When we fire a 1-2-3 pattern we improve strength, power, flexibility, endurance, speed, balance, co-ordination and produce a state of relaxed performance.
“I had suffered for many years with back problems, burning nerve pain in my forearms, wrists, hands, and neck that was restricting my life, golf and making me miserable. I have seen lots of nerve specialists over the years but to no avail. After 5 sessions all of my pain has gone, I can play golf without any discomfort and I feel great. Stephen’s treatment is very unique and I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you.”
