Haley was first introduced to the Activation technique she uses while shadowing Dr. Tom Nelson, a Family Medicine physician based in Chicago, IL. Dr. Nelson had previously learned the Be Activated method from Douglas Heel, a South African physical therapist who developed the technique in Cape Town during the 1990s.
For over two decades, Heel has been teaching the Be Activated philosophy around the world, consistently seeing reduced injuries and enhanced performance in a wide range of clients—from elite athletes to individuals recovering from spinal cord injuries.
