Hi,
My names Beth, I'm 22 and just started my MPF journey yesterday. I used to be a footballer and was always slim and athletic.
However after years of recurrent knee dislocations starting when I was 12, I have to give up football for good at 17. To the point where i couldn't even have a kick about anymore. Over the past couple of years my Mobility has worsened and I have recently been told my problems are Neurological. I have been wheelchair bound for the majority of the last year but have started to get back on my feet. There are times I can walk with the use of a frame and times where i cant do much at all.
I really want the old me back, I know I'll never be able to play sport again but I can get my body back and be healthier and happier in myself.

Is there anyone here with mobility problems who can give me tips or advice on exercise? Or even just advise on what you do yourself?
Any tips/advice will be much appreciated.

Beth x
