GLIA ACTIVATETM uses progressive workouts to fire up early movement in the arm and hand. Through the clever use of everyday equipment and body positioning, we start with creating a stable base and micro-movements, and gradually build towards synchronised dual-hand activities.

GLIA ACTIVATETM uses progressive workouts to fire up early movement in the arm and hand. Through the clever use of everyday equipment and body positioning, we start with creating a stable base and micro-movements, and gradually build towards synchronised dual-hand activities.
What you will learn
This program breaks down how our hands work and teaches you about gaining activity, posture and control of movements in your wrist and hand. It uses small movements of the hand known as micromovements which are building blocks. It uses manual stretch and activation techniques together with sensory techniques to enhance feedback, motor learning and awareness of individual parts that create elbow, forearm, wrist and hand movements.
The program includes a step-by-step followable workout that is side-specific and can be worked at your own pace as many times as you wish. The program progresses from easy to more difficult techniques.
Who this is for
- Those with low to normal muscle tone.
- Those with no active movement of the forearm, wrist or hand.
- Those with flickers of movement of the forearm, wrist or hand
Key focus areas
- Brain areas that control your finger movements and dexterity.
- Brain areas that interpret sensory information from your arm and hand.
- Muscles and joints of the elbow, forearm and wrist.
- Muscles and joints of the fingers and thumb.
- Small muscles of the hand.
