Ski Fitness MOT
Our physiotherapists are experienced in treating and more importantly, helping to prevent injuries that can happen on the slopes.
As the nights draw in and the temperatures drop, many of us will be counting down the days until we can take part in our annual pilgrimage to the mountains.
Bags packed? Skis waxed? Insurance sorted? But how ready are you really for a week in the snow?
One week in the snow or 3 months on the physio bed?
Book in now prior to your holiday to make sure you are ski fit & ready to make the most of your time on the slopes, without injury getting in the way.
A CSPC physiotherapist will assess you from head to toe and set you an exercise programme to ensure you are ready to hit the slopes.
What can we do at CSPC?
Here at CSPC we can look to address any risk factors that make you susceptible to injury to ensure you spend more time skiing and less time on the physio bed. Our highly trained physios will work through a thorough assessment process to identify areas of the body that are key to skiing, including;
Ankle range (dorsiflexion) / shin angle
We then bring this together to produce a plan to help you to get fitter, healthier and stronger for skiing. This may include specific strengthening or stretching exercises, exercises to help you move better, or advice on how you can steadily build your fitness. This may include advice on seeking further treatment for specific injuries or referral on to other specialists if required.
Final points
Skiing is all about having fun in the mountains and that’s what takes us back to the mountains year after year. Below are a few points to consider;
Poor technique + fatigue (+ over confidence) = Injury
Recovery is key. Whilst it’s important to have fun and enjoy everything that a ski holiday has to offer both on and off the hill, it’s also important to look after your body. Sleeping 8-10hours a night, drinking plenty of water (1L per 1-2hrs) and stretching out tight muscles at the start and end of each day can help keep you going for your whole holiday.
Cost: A 90-minute Full Body MOT including assessment, treatment and a detailed report £168 with a physiotherapist and £200 with a clinic director.
