With ski season upon us, we're dedicating this month to exploring snow sport injuries—what causes them, how to prevent them, and what proper recovery looks like when things go wrong.
Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be covering:
✅ The most common injuries in skiing versus snowboarding and why the patterns differ.
✅ Realistic recovery timelines for ligament sprains, fractures, and dislocations, including why "pain-free" doesn't mean "healed".
✅ Common misconceptions that catch people out on the slopes, such as assuming a spontaneously relocated shoulder is fine or that being warmed up makes the last run of the day safer.
✅ Practical preparation work you can do before your trip—minimal time investment with evidence-based approaches that actually reduce injury risk.
Whether you're a regular on the slopes or planning your first trip in years, this information will be relevant. Some of it might change how you approach your holiday, while other details will simply provide useful context.
All the detailed patient resources will be available to download through the relevant social posts as we progress through the month. Stay tuned!
