'Activating' your muscles

Hi, I'd love to hear if anyone else has had experience of the 'Be Activated' muscle activation physiotherapy? I've been attending sessions with a physiotherapist based in Billericay who pushes really hard on certain muscles in my body to try to force them to communicate with my brain. It all sounds a little bit Voodoo, but I have to say that immediately after a session and for a few hours afterwards I do feel stronger. There's absolutely no doubt it improves my balance. He's taught me to do the exercises myself each day in the hope that it helps me longer term. I am aware of the possibility it could be the placebo effect, but I wondered if anyone else had tried it and what their results had been?
@merfield

No I haven't tried the exercises but I'm seriously interested. The part that caught my eye was that it helped your balance - my main problem from which most others stem! Good Luck with your improvements, I hope they continue....I'm now going to Google 'Be Activated'......(I'm not so far from Billericay, I'm up in Suffolk.) xx

Hi @annb, I haven't heard of his either, but it sounds intriguing so I will be Googling it too as my balance is atrocious at the best of times. Good luck! 😊
