Ski Injury rehabilitation

A chartered physiotherapist specialising in lower limb and sports injuries is available to assess and treat all skiing injuries.

It is important that all injuries are rehabilitated back to full sports and not left once the client has become pain free. Often when this happens joints are not fully mobile and muscles are not strengthened enough to deal with demands of skiing and as a result reoccurrence of injury can be high. In order to prevent this we take our client back to a level when they are safe to return to the peaks.

Treatment and Assessment includes the following:

• Post injury or surgery - e.g. knee, ankle, hip and spinal injuries
• Injury risk assessment and exercise program
• Full muscle imbalance assessments to identify are areas of weakness and instability

Post operative or injury rehabilitation programmes:

We have the following:

• Direct links with specialist knee / lower limb consultants - allowing for quick referrals and investigation in the cases of acute and chronic injuries
• Knee brace fitting - One of our physiotherapists is trained to fit braces when required. Direct links with Profeet Ski Boot Lab for ski boot fittings and orthotics.
• Return to sport exercise sessions using sports specific rehabilitation equipment
