Patient consent gained ✅️
This lovely patient came to me with a 3 month history of ongoing right shoulder pain and radiculopathy.
However, upon assessing her, it was evident she was experiencing frequent involuntary body twitches. She explained she had experienced these for the past 2yrs on and off, but they had worsened in the past 3 months..

She tested as a bilateral zero in her initial session. Which indicated that she was in a chronic state of overwhelm, and she was really just running on adrenaline. My priority was to help her calm her nervous system and teach her techniques she could follow daily to interrupt her stress response.

1. I taught her how to find an internal anchor point, to focus on during her daily mini mediations, to help clear and calm her mind.

2. I then taught her how to activate her diaphragm and how to belly breathe to calm her nervous system.

3. I then taught her how to activate her hip flexors and bum muscles to provide a sense of safety in her body.

She returned for her follow-up the next week delighted to report her body twitches she had experienced for 2yrs had completely settled ❤️❤️❤️

Lesson: Give the body a little bit of the right information regularly, and it will respond positively 🤩🙏✨️

I love these kinds of post treatment messages ❤️❤️❤️. This was from a new patient today who attended my clinic with chronic back pain, low energy, and increased levels of anxiety. This patient tested as a weak bilateral zero, meaning they were caught in a cycle of mental overwhelm, which was affecting their physiology, as well as their mind. Today, I got this patient breathing with the diaphragm and got their hip flexors and bum muscles firing. Lots of exciting work to do in the follow-up session, but in this one session alone, this patient had a beautiful and immediate response 🫶 ..... and this is why I love my job 😊

A picture paints a thousand words....
Postural pictures for this patient from left to right session 1, session 2, and 3rd session today.

This patient attended with neck pain, something he explained he has suffered with on and off for 20yrs. He put it down to a bad rubgy tackle that he never seemed to fully recover from. However, upon testing his compensation pattern, we established that he is a bilateral Jaw driver. Which in simple terms means, when he is weak in the hip and pelvic area, his leg muscles shorten and tighten to work with the Jaw and neck muscles which also shorten and tighten to help compensate and power the hips. This forces his body to compress, which, over the years took its toll on his posture, as seen in the 1st picture pulling his neck and shoulders forward resulting in the ongoing intermittent neck pain he complains of.

He had session 3 today, where I worked on his upper body for the first time with the beactivated approach. He had some beautiful visual shifts in his posture, and he also felt very different. One of the things he verbalised at the end of the session was that his neck felt about 4 inches longer.

Our bodies slowly adapt to negative postural changes, and we don't realise how much space we are losing. It's normally pain that eventually prompts people to go to physio. But don't wait for pain to prompt you. If you feel your posture is worsening, get help, the sooner the better.

"When you give the body the right information it responds immediately" - quote by Douglas Heel, the founder of BeActivated

My patient Sheila experienced the profound effects of BeActivated, her body was ready for the change, it just needed direction. Once she had her Zone 1 muscles activated her chronic back pain of 20yrs diminished. She now self activates daily to prolong the effects and is living her best life 🤩🙌🤸

The human body is awesome. It always does its best to find a way to meet the demands placed on it. However the majority of people unknowingly drive their movement through cheat patterns, which basically means they don't move as efficiently as they could, meaning some muscles take on too much of the work load while others don't pull their weight enough. This results in all sorts of physiogical issues such as postural problems, injuries, aches, pains, feelings of heaviness and stiffness to name just a few.

If you feel you are sluggish, fatigued and you body is feeling older than its years then book in to learn how to get your body moving more efficiently so you feel lighter, freer more powerful and more open.

The aim for my patients is always to help them build integrity and resilience in their bodies so that they can navigate life with a clearer mind and can perform their chosen sport or activity with a safer and stronger system.

Once patients have experienced that integrity in the system, ie their 123 pattern, their aim is then to stay there as long as possible and also to learn how to get themselves there when they most need it, for example going to play an important match.

This is a simple cycle I get them to refer to to help keep them on track. Some days we just need to stop and take some deep belly breaths to reconnect, other days we may need to check what our point of focus is and try to change it to something more inspirational rather than staying in the negative mindset, some days you may need to run through a full activation sequence before you feel that your back to yourself, another day a simple zone 1 and a little focus on your posture may be enough to get you where you want to be.

The key is always about "feeling", i.e listening to what your body is telling you. Am I feeling light and loose and connected, or is my system feeling heavy, tight, achey, etc. The body is always talking to us, the question is are we listening, and when we listen do we know what we need to do in that moment to make the necessary change. This little cycle may help you.
