Ski Fitness & Winter Sports

We offer a range of specialist services to assist in the preparation for your winter sports activity. Whether it’s a ski holiday, snow-boarding or a winter hiking trip, preparing the body is essential to keep your holiday injury free and allow you to get the most from your holiday.

Fitness preparation for your trip should start a good 6-8 weeks before you travel, and focus on strength, flexibility and stamina/endurance activities. If you have a longstanding or pre-existing problem (knee pain for example), specific exercises in the run up to your holiday can be extremely beneficial in ensuring both you (and your knee!) are in the best shape possible to prevent any worsening of your symptoms.

Winter Sport Injury Treatment & Rehabilitation

Winter sport activity can put a great deal of physical stress on the body, especially for those not used to it. Many people spend weeks working away at their desks and then spend a whole week skiing or snowboarding with no preparation at all! This can unfortunately lead to injury. Some common winter sports injuries we see include ligament injuries to the knee, fractures affecting various parts of the leg, ankle injuries, thumb injuries and shoulder injuries by those falling and landing on the side.

Our Physiotherapists are highly experienced in the assessment and treatment of sports injuries. We see sporting injuries throughout the year and have treated people from all walks of life. Some people do a very small amount of exercise, some are weekend exercise warriors, and others are elite athletes!

As one of the largest and most well-respected Physiotherapy companies in London, you can rest assured you’ll receive the highest quality care and treatment with us. Don’t just take our word for it, see why our customers rate us so highly!
