6 Steps To Avoid Injury On The Slopes
Are you planning a trip to the slopes? Are you prepared? I am not referring to your purchase of the latest ‘look’ to cruise the slopes in style or sussing out the best Apres ski spots. I am referring to you – your body, is it prepared and ready to take on the physical demands of skiing or snowboarding to return home without a cast or crutches? Our physiotherapists at BOOST PHYSIO want to share their snow sport advice guide. Musculoskeletal injuries are common, in snow sports. When skiing you are at greater risk of sustaining an injury to your lower limb; most commonly knee injuries like tearing the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) or sprains and tears to the collateral ligaments of the knee.
