WORKSHOPS
Be Activated
Discover the body’s incredible ability to adapt to the stressors of modern life. We all develop compensation strategies that are often the root cause to overload ,pain and injury. Learn to identify and correct these faulty pattens, restore optimal function and unlock your client’s full potential in work, sport and life.
As therapists and exercise professionals our aim should always be to provide more solutions to our client’s problems. We need to work less symptomatically and rather focus on identifying and correcting the root cause form the start.
“What’s in the MIND is in the BODY , and WHAT’S in the BODY is in the MIND.”
– Douglas Heel, Creator of the “Be Activated” muscle activation system.

About Carel
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.
Carel is also an international educator, presenting training courses in the Be Activated methodology. He collaborates closely with its founder, Douglas Heel, sharing a mutual passion for transforming the health industry.
