Why we’re doing this… When I lost my leg six years ago and had to relearn how to walk, I was never given any help in learning how to walk optimally with a prosthetic leg. I of course didn’t know this at the time. Unfortunately due to the lack of NHS funding, they help give you a prosthetic leg and once you’re walking, you’re dismissed. There isn’t too much help with recovery and so I created bad habits and as a result, I don’t walk very well. This only came to light when I started training for my first marathon as running put a spotlight on this. This is where Simon comes in! Simon is a biokineticist and his focus is all about improving your day-to-day movement and quality of life. Hence in the video, he’s analysing the way I move and helping me connect my mind and body. The takeaway from the session was to start “doing the simple things well”. Yes it is more fun to lift heavy weights but the simple exercises, we should not neglect. If I do these well, running is easier and is the fun part. I’m so grateful to have Simon and many other experts helping me with my marathon training. Although it’s for the marathon, it’s so much more than that. I’m truly learning about my body, connecting with it, correcting any imbalances and this will help me with longevity in my life 🙌🏼 I hope you enjoyed this video! I did my best to condense a lot of information into one video and hopefully so did it concisely. Lots of love and make sure to follow along for this crazy ride 🏃🏽‍♀️💗🤝 #biokinetics #biokineticist #biomechanics #bodymechanics #body #mindmuscle #mindmuscleconnection #physio #recovery #fitness #mindset #overcome #focus #ability #determined #mind #prosthetics #prostheticleg #prosthesis #amputee #amputeerecovery #amputeephysio
