Therapy on the slopes!

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

SkiingI am now enjoying some fun therapy! I have had my first ski trip for the season, I love the challenge at it works my core muscles without feeling like rehab.

I was lucky to get a couple of lessons with Dom. He is excellent. http://www.activetherapy.eu We also enjoyed staying at one of Simply Morzine’s beautiful chalet’s. www.simply-morzine.co.uk We got home a day later than expected due to Geneva being closed but for once I enjoyed being injured as we had no waiting around and were given a 4 star hotel with meal vouchers, so can’t complain. I like easy jet.

I felt a lot stronger this time, so the work all summer has certainly improved my abilty to go from leaning forward to sitting up straight whilst skiing! 

I have been busy with continued treadmill work, going on it 4 or 5 times a week, plus the FES bike, physio etc etc, but have had to have a quiet week over Christmas because I have scraped the skin off my arse whilst transfering, so I can not have the harness on and I am trying not to do much sitting. I suppose my body needs a rest at some point , it can spend this time healing!

I am also working hard organising the fashion show. It is only 3weeks now. We have some great models taking part. There are more details on my website.

Hope you have had a good Christmas, and all the best for 2010.
