What is Be Activated Therapy?
Be Activated Therapy is a hands-on muscle activation technique developed by Douglas Heel. This physical therapy approach helps reset the body’s neuromuscular patterns to restore balance, improve muscle function, and reduce pain. It’s used by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike to improve sports performance, manage pain, and boost mobility.
Using manual muscle testing, therapists identify muscles that aren’t firing properly and use targeted stimulation to “wake up” those dormant areas. This simple yet powerful system helps the body function more efficiently from head to toe.
Top 5 Common Causes of Premature Aging and Degeneration
- Chronic Stress: Elevated cortisol levels can accelerate aging and reduce vitality.
- Poor Movement Patterns: Dysfunctional movement can lead to joint wear, injuries, and imbalances over time.
- Sedentary Lifestyle: A lack of physical activity contributes to muscle atrophy and systemic degeneration.
- Inflammation: Chronic inflammation damages tissues and accelerates the aging process.
- Inefficient Breathing: Shallow or improper breathing patterns limit oxygen flow, impacting cellular function and energy levels.
Origin of the Be Activated Program
The Be Activated Program was developed by South African physiotherapist Douglas Heel in the early 2000s. Combining applied kinesiology, breathing techniques, and neuromuscular activation, Douglas aimed to create a revolutionary approach to address dysfunction in the body and optimize performance.
Among the program’s most notable participants are biohackers like Dave Asprey, founder of Bulletproof, and celebrities who have shared their success stories after integrating the program into their wellness routines.

How Does It Work?
Our body has two priorities for survival; to breathe and to move – and without both – we will die! Our body finds ways to meet those priorities, and it’s willing to sacrifice anything else in order to do this.
But these compensations put us at risk. Our body’s ability to overcome the stresses and pressures of life can result in reduced movement and exercise. Measurable reductions in strength, power, flexibility and endurance often occur, leaving our bodies less resilient, and at risk of poor performance, pain and dysfunction, both in the way we move and the way we behave. If you experience a traumatic event or injury, you’ll notice the slow and gradual decline in function and performance. These compensations then get tired, and eventually break.
The result is at best a loss of energy, at worst constant chronic pain and reduced function due to inefficiencies.
It is almost inevitable nowadays – for everyone. And it’s equally simple to reverse when you really honor what your body needs to function correctly.
The Be Activated system starts by testing what your body is doing now, so that changes can be clearly measured. This is done by simple muscle resistance, strength and flexibility tests.
The next step is to activate the body to breathe correctly (nearly everyone still gets this wrong.)
Once the first priority is being met effectively, we run through the body’s sequencing patterns, testing and activating, so muscles and structures can return to their correct right patterns – they start doing their own job, rather than someone else’s. Then the body and brain can integrate and allow you to work effectively and efficiently. A stress-free body can go back to working at full capacity, with full energy. The measurements are important, but what you feel is always foremost in our minds as we work.
It’s all done using Activations which can be used safely and immediately, in any setting.
That doesn’t mean you’ll suddenly be indestructible for eternity. Chronic muscle patterns will need reminding.
But the Activation techniques are simple to teach and offer unique, powerful tools for control over your own health.
