The Activate Mobility Method:

Unlock Lasting Mobility & Stability with the Activate Mobility Method

If you’re tired of seeing short-term results from stretching and release techniques, it’s time for a smarter approach. The Activate Mobility Method teaches you how to assess and activate weak core muscles to restore stability and mobility—creating lasting, injury-resistant movement.

This workshop will be held by Neil Wagstaff – one of our more experienced HMC teachers.

Why This Method Works

You’ve probably heard the saying:
“Tightness is secondary to weakness.”

When the body senses instability, it locks down movement as a protective mechanism. Forcing the body into deeper ranges with stretching or release techniques doesn’t address the root cause—and can even increase injury risk. Instead, this course teaches you how to activate weak muscles to instantly unlock movement in a safe, controlled way.

What You’ll Learn

🔹 How to assess range of motion and misalignment patterns around the trunk and pelvis
🔹 A proven system for testing and activating weak muscles
🔹 Sensory and motor activation techniques that create immediate, lasting results
🔹 Hands-on skills that will set you apart as the go-to movement professional in your area

Why Trainers Love This Course

✅ 80% hands-on learning—so you leave with real, usable skills
✅ Instant impact—watch mobility and stability improve in real-time
✅ No more guessing—learn an assessment-driven approach to mobility work

Stop chasing tightness. Start unlocking movement.
