Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) complete and partial tears are one of the most common injuries in the ski season. Your ACL is one of the main stabilizing ligaments in your knee and the mechanism of injury usually involves rotation/twisting of the knee. Often people would hear a “pop” sound, followed by pain, swelling and feeling of instability. Therapists would diagnose by completing tests for the ACL, PCL, MCL and meniscus tears and this can be done in the practice. The physios will then support and guide the patient through their treatment (ice and compression with a GameReady, release, joint mobilisations, taping and bracing) and a rehab programme.
Even though knee injuries have taken the spotlight for skiing and snowboarding injuries, ankle sprains/fractures and ligament tendon tears are still reported. Therapists can complete a series of tests in the clinic to assist with diagnosis and recovery.
On evaluation, our therapists will guide you through a testing process to help diagnose an injury and help you with a recovery plan until you head home.
The lower leg, groin and back muscles can be strained whilst skiing, either due to overuse or a fall. Therapists will assess the severity of the strain/tear by doing a comprehensive evaluation and assisting with therapy that would include myofascial release, trigger point therapy, kinesio taping, home exercise programme and advice.
Back and neck pain can be aggravated or caused by snow sports, either due to falls or fatigue. Falls and whiplash can lead to neck pain and headaches.
Our therapists can help with therapy and rehabilitation, post injury and post operative care. Our therapists have acute and chronic experience with injuries and can assist with therapy and a recovery plan moving forward.
