Winter car accidents and crashes on snowy or icy roads often result in severe injuries, significant property damage, and sometimes even loss of life. Snowy, foggy, or raining conditions can make it hard for you to see a few feet in front of you. To minimize the risk of an accident, you should have your car winterized before the first snowstorm of the season and keep a brush and windshield scraper in your car so that you can easily remove ice and snow from your windows and windshield. If you have been injured during a winter car accident, our trained physiotherapists are here for you. We offer exceptional therapeutic services for people who have been injured because of the severe winter weather.

Your knees are the workhorses of your body and allow you to perform everyday activities, such as walking and running. Knee injuries and issues are very common and tend to occur at any time, especially in winter. Participating in intense physical activities, such as skiing, skating, or snowboarding, can put plenty of pressure on your knees, leading to injury.
Many injuries tend to happen at the end of the day, when you may overexert yourself to finish that one last run before the end of the day. These injuries can include torn meniscus, torn ligaments, fractured kneecap, dislocation, or repetitive strain injuries. If you have sustained a knee injury, let our Physiotherapist get you back on the ice, slopes, snow or get you ready for your spring and summer activities.
