Course content
You will be guided through the fundamental muscle activation techniques for the body's 3 zones in a sequence that forms the framework for BeActivated. There will be plenty of time to try out the techniques on each other, as well as for any questions that arise along the way.
We will delve deeper into the philosophy behind BeActivated, incorporating the body's response to stress and the connection between body and mind. Everyone has a story, so during the course, we will cover many fundamental aspects that play a role in the activation process.
You will learn to test based on an understanding of the body's zones in the 1-2-3 test. This test is central to uncovering your clients' compensatory patterns, and not least, to helping your client navigate, understand, and manage their symptoms in a broader context. In addition to this, you will see that the techniques can and should not only be used in the clinic, but are something clients can do themselves, which provides flexibility and depth to the work.
During the course, we will discuss how BeActivated can be applied more broadly and in more functional contexts. We will also reflect on the challenges you might experience in your work with your clients, so you can become even better and sharper, not just in your techniques, but also in your approach to this work.
There will be space to introduce more activation techniques that build upon the sequence to dive even deeper into clients' compensations and default patterns, sometimes including the application of this work around the visual field.
