Skiing despite arthritis, replacement hips and cartilage issues

Annabel has hypermobile joints, arthritis, a couple of replacement hips and more recently a knee cartilage problem.

“Skiing has been my absolute passion for nearly 40 years. I’m not an expert despite all my visits to the mountains. But I am enthusiastic.”

“I was an early adopter”

Annabel first came across the Ski Mojo via the Ski Club of Great Britain magazine.

“You’d think I’d have given up years ago. I was an early adopter of the Mojo and have used the kit for 14 years now.”

“Without the Ski Mojo I would not have been able to ski for the last 14 years”

“The Ski Mojo has seen me through pre-hip replacement pain and gave me the confidence to ski post-surgery.

Without it I would not have been able to ski for the last 14 years. It continues to support my body as I grapple with knee meniscus.”

“No one knows it’s there except for me”

Annabel wears her Ski Mojo under her ski pants:

“Without it I would not ski, and it is my very special friend. It hides beneath my trousers and nobody knows it’s there except for me.”

Virginia, who is 57 and lives in Henley-on-Thames, told us about the challenges that have affected her skiing:

“I have had a hip replacement, shoulder replacement and also have bone-on-bone knee arthritis, for which I’m currently awaiting a replacement.”

With all that, Virginia didn’t think she would be able to ski this season as “I can barely walk up and down stairs”. However, she saw the Ski Mojo mentioned on the Morzine Crew community Facebook page and decided it was time to try it.

“It’s been fantastic!”

“It’s been fantastic! It’s allowed me full days of skiing and I found engaging and disengaging the Ski Mojo easy.”

“Last year my replacement hip was worrying me on steep slopes, but this year both my hip and knees have been fully supported by the Ski Mojo.”

Virginia is delighted:

“I thought this season might be my last, but I’m hopeful I’ll be able to ski again after my knee replacement thanks to the Ski Mojo.”

This video shows Virginia skiing in Verbier earlier this winter:

“It’s like floating!”

“The moment I engage the Ski Mojo, it’s like floating and I always break into a big smile! It’s a super invention; I just wish more people knew about it.”

Well, thanks to you sharing your thoughts with us Virginia, maybe they will. Thanks again for your feedback. If you’d like to try the Ski Mojo for yourself and ski stronger for longer, then you can buy on our website.

“The Ski Mojo is a unique feature allowing me to ski again after my leg injury followed by three months of immobilisation (i.e. a weak right leg compare to the left)”

“It (the Ski Mojo) was the main thing that got me skiing again after my injury. I love it for that.”

“After two total hip replacements, the Ski Mojo gives me the support I need to continue Masters’ ski racing. Without it, I wouldn’t have the necessary control or strength.”

“I have used a Ski Mojo for more than 6 years: it enabled me to continue skiing when I had painful arthritis (post injury) in my left knee and after a knee replacement I continue to use it to protect the knee.”

“The Ski Mojo gives confidence to my skiing after the ACL injury and maintains my energy levels all day.”

“The Ski Mojo provides support to M.S. weakened legs, meaning that I can continue to ski.”
