About Carel Wildenboer
As a young physiotherapist, Carel set his sights on changing the world! He quickly realized that standard interventions often provide only short-term improvements. He always believed there had to be more—a way to achieve sustainable results.
In 2010, Carel attended his first Be Activated course, an experience that would dramatically shape his career over the next decade. Armed with the knowledge he gained, he founded CW Physios in Durban, South Africa. Over the following 10 years, he expanded the practice by opening multiple branches and leading a large team of specialized therapists.
In 2020, Carel relocated with his family to Melbourne, Australia, where he established The Activation Clinic. He continues to work as a specialist therapist with individuals and teams, offering expert care and innovative approaches.
