Bjorg: "I no longer worry that I may have to give up riding!"

“I no longer worry that I may have to give up riding!”

"A year ago I had reached a point in my life where I had to make some big decisions. Years ago I had a bad fall off a horse and badly injured both my knees. Five knee operations later, I still had problems and pain, and it was starting to impact my hips and low back. I still ride horses and love it, but was finding it more and more difficult due to the pain. I was starting to struggle with everyday chores and my whole body was feeling stiff and tight. I was worried I might have to give up riding and maybe have another knee operation.

My riding instructor suggested that I go see Kirsty at Strength and Motion Academy. After a chat with Kirsty I was hopeful she could make a program to help me. A year later I can honestly say I have not felt this good in a very long time. I feel so much stronger and am able to do chores like mucking out horses without getting a sore back. A few months ago I was able to go on a hike in the Mountains of Norway and am planning to do part of the Camino de Santiago next year. I have also bought a new horse, as I am no longer worried that I may have to give up riding. I look forward to my weekly sessions training with Kirsty, it has made such a positive impact on my life!”
