How to prevent a ski injury
The new ski season is underway with the snowfalls of the last few days. Skiing is a fun and magical sport, thanks to its mountain setting. Skiing is demanding and puts unusual demands on the body. To prevent injury and make the most of the season, the Lausanne osteopathic practice of Boris Hueber recommends a good physical preparation, with a little cardio, sheathing and, above all, specific strengthening of the lower limbs. The knee is the joint most affected, mainly due to rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament. Specific work on the hamstrings is needed to strengthen them, as well as proprioception. You can enlist the help of a physiotherapist or specialized coach for this. To complete this preparation, postural balance is essential to avoid injury. An osteopathic session is recommended to rebalance your pelvis, check your lumbar and lower limb muscle chains. As the saying goes, “better be safe than sorry”. The osteopathic practice of Boris Hueber wishes you a wonderful season.
