It's a game changer
Joanna Agnew
“Wow was my response after my first activation session with Karen. I had never experienced anything like it before. My neural pathways had been completely reawakened. I didn’t even realise before the session how closed down my body was until I felt what it was like to breath fully with my diaphragm, engage my core without effort and for my body to feel open, spacious and light and at ease. I’ve been training for years unknowingly reinforcing my bodies cheat patterns but since becoming activated my training has changed for the better, staying injury free as now my muscles are firing in the way they are meant to. I can’t recommend Karen enough, she is an amazing therapist with a wealth of experience and knowledge and has a great way of making you feel at ease and talking you through the session, especially as some points can be uncomfortable, but most of all Karen teaches you the tools, empowering you to stay activated. I’ve been recommending Karen and her Be activated sessions to all of my family and friends. I really believe this will benefit everyone. It is a game changer!”

No more lazy muscles!
Sholto Mee
“I attended Robertsphysio for help with an ongoing pain in my shoulder, and despite going for physio elsewhere I wasn't getting much relief and I didn't know why I was getting this problem. Then I booked in for a session with Robertsphysio, Karen assessed my muscle firing pattern and I was shocked to feel how my jaw was overactive and was over-compensating for muscles in my hips and centre that had become lazy. Once she had figured out the root of the problem she started to activate muscles that were lacking in strength so that my jaw didn't have to do all the work, it was a completely different approach to what I was used to but it made sense and I could feel the difference in the integrity in my body immediately. I started to feel freer and more powerful when exercising and I now use the self-activations Karen taught me to keep my body working from the centre out rather than my jaw having to do all the work. I highly recommend the innovative ‘Be Activated’ technique Karen uses.”

Keeping my zones active
Franco Buonocore
“I’ve had back and neck discomfort for most of my adult life and I have spent hours trying to find the right exercises and stretches to ease the pain. I had no idea that I was only making my condition worse, until Karen explained me how activation works and proved to me that most of my muscles had become lazy and they were relying on my back and neck to do all the work!
Learning how to keep all my “zones” active and engaged in the right movements, and how to be aware of my posture has made a big difference. No more stiff neck and no more pains in my back, all just thanks to the activation exercises Karen has taught me. Thanks Karen!”

You are in good hands!
Emilia Pachomow
“I have been Karen’s patient when I needed help with my neck problems. I cannot overrate the incredible impact her work had on my chronic issue. Her innovative method not only provides immediate relief but also equips with tools to work on preventing and minimising the impact on your own, at home. Her true passion for helping people shines through and you know that you are in good hands, not only because of her in-depth knowledge of her profession but also because she is a genuinely good and caring person. Her sessions not only give invaluable pain relief but also let you relax mentally and have a proper laugh. Excellence in every aspect!”

Self managing the signs of stress
Gary Sargent
“Prior to visiting Robertsphysio practice I suffered regular migraines and repeated back pain. I initially asked Karen to help me with the physical aches and pains associated with these symptoms. After a few sessions it became apparent that Karen’s activation methodology and treatments were not just helping the physical pain I was experiencing but also were helping to release hidden areas of stress and tension that were in fact creating many of the other symptoms (including headaches) that I thought were unrelated. Fast forward a few months and I guess I don’t think of Karen as my physiotherapist – rather more of a teacher. Balancing visits to Karen with regular home activations in my own time has enabled me to identify and manage the signs of stress in my body to avoid much of the overcompensation in my body that was causing me issues. I feel fitter, my posture has improved dramatically and more importantly I feel like I have the knowledge and the guidance to keep myself there. In this new work from home environment that is more important than ever.”

My mood has changed and I am feeling happier!
Maria Garcia
“I had known Karen for years and she had given me deep tissue massage on many occasions. Recently I went with a bad tendinitis in my arms to visit Karen expecting a deep tissue massage and instead a got an activation session. After that I have been coming to Karen to keep the activation sessions for many times. I find this technique magic and Karen is just brilliant. I feel taller, stronger, lighter and my posture has changed completely. Most importantly she taught me how to breath properly and I am now paying attention to it at all the time. My mood has changed, I am happier and I feel a lot more confident in general. I recommend this technique to absolutely everyone as it has a massive impact in our bodies and minds. Karen is an amazing professional and a brilliant person. Thanks again for everything Karen!!!”

Nothing short of a miracle
Carlos L
“I am an avid gym goer and I recently injured my lower back quite badly during a gym session. I would get lower back pain from time to time but nothing as serious as this time around, and it usually settled with rest. But I decided I needed to find out what was going on and I contacted Robertsphysio for treatment. Karen did a full assessment to see how my body was working. I was astounded to feel how my arms were helping my hip function, my arm muscles and leg muscles were having to work overtime all because the muscles around the hip had gotten lazy. Karen explained how my body was driving in on itself which was causing the compression in my lower back. After the first session I could feel my body responding, I felt lighter, there was no pain in my back, and when I was walking I felt taller and that my posture felt straighter. Karen taught me the self-activations points to do, and my homework was to do them every day until the next visit. Two further treatments and my body has been fully reset and I have been taught how to maintain this correct firing pattern myself with self-activations, I do these before my gym sessions. I feel stronger now when I am training, and my upper back and shoulders have relaxed and my lower back is pain free. The activation techniques Robertsphysio use are nothing short of magic, I highly recommend this treatment to anyone with back pain.”

My body no longer gives up
Brian O'Neill
“Not being much of a runner but needing to get back to exercising I decided to get back to playing casual football. I hadn’t played for a few years, and when I went back my problems started immediately. For the first four months I hardly ever made consecutive weekly training. One week I’d feel tightness in a hamstring, I’d rest for a week, go back the following week and pull a quad muscle or get pain in my calf. Even though it was only a kick about I didn’t want to give up as it was my only opportunity during the week to get some exercise. I contacted Karen and she got to work. I immediately saw positive results. Since starting activation treatment with Karen I never missed a week of training due to any injury, and I quickly grew in confidence knowing my body was no longer going to give up on me in some way. Having seen and felt the excellent results I check in for treatment every month or so and do my self-activations before exercising and this keeps me injury free. I can highly recommend activation treatment.”

Self activations are easy to do
Mark Shippam
“I had tight calf muscles over a number of months so I attended Robertsphysio for treatment to help. Karen educated me on the 3 different zones of the body and how having no power in my zone 1 was affecting my zone 2 and zone 3 muscles which led to my calf tightness. Over a few sessions Karen activated my zone 1 and 2 muscles, and it made such a difference even before she got to the zone 3 muscles. Over the sessions Karen also showed me how to self-activate the different zones, which are very easy to do, and I have not had any re-occurrences since. I have recommended Karen to quite a few other people who were having similar issues and they all said the treatment was amazing and they learnt to understand how to fix their pain.”
