How many one-legged movement coaches do you know?

The fact that there is probably none already tells you a lot about me.

Before losing my leg in a motorcycle accident, I was a reasonably competent athlete. Movement was my life and I stubbornly refused to give that up. Knowing where not only my passion but also my talent lies, I was always eager to help others with movement related health and body issues.

In order to be the best coach I could be I felt relying on a fitness trainers class was not nearly enough. I looked into various movement disciplines and, if I found they were valuable, got the appropriate training.

Never did I let aspects such as disability or being somewhat advanced in age get in the way. I have tried and tested both unknown and fashionable approaches. Right now I am working to accquire a qualification that really requires 2 legs to get. When it is about training and movement, I can be really stubborn.

If I can do it, so can you. It will be my pleasure to be part of your journey and help you to move and feel like the much younger person you were just a few years ago.

about Richard, version b

My life´s journey has had many twists and turns. However, there have been some themes which have been consistent. My stubbornness / inability to give up, my passion for movement and my desire for learning. One of those curved balls on my life´s journey resulted in the loss ofmy leg. In traumatic circumstances in motorcycle accident. Before this curved ball I was reasonably competent athlete who wasn´t swayed from his passion for movement by the loss of his leg. In fact, my commitment to learning and understanding movement and the body has become more intrenched as now, there is a functional reason, which is how to use my body effeciently and effectively within the new paradigm. This resulted in me becoming a professional movement coach in pursuit of this part of my journey.

One of my approaches has been to immerse myself by both studying the subject and living it too, for example I have concluded that people tend to respond much better rythmical movement when performing physical activitiy. There are a number of theories behind this which I have explored. Hence, I now enjoy using dynamics which impacts the body cardiovascularly,strengh and musculare endurance.
