How does the activator method work?
The Activator delivers a brief, rapid, and highly targeted impulse to a joint that is not moving properly. This stimulation helps the joint function better and can reduce tension in the surrounding muscles.

Because the impulse is fast and controlled, very little force is required. Consequently, many patients experience this treatment as gentle and comfortable.
