❄️ Snow and black ice are here and with them, more fall-related injuries 🧊
Many runners, cyclists, and sports enthusiasts are still training outdoors. While consistency matters, slippery surfaces significantly increase the risk of injury.
Recently in clinic, we’re seeing more:
• Ankle sprains
• Knee injuries
• Wrist & shoulder injuries from falls
• Hip and low back pain
Train smart this winter:
✔ Slow your pace & shorten your stride
✔ Choose footwear with better grip (trail shoes help)
✔ Watch shaded areas - black ice often lingers there
✔ Cyclists: brake earlier, avoid sudden turns
✔ Swap an outdoor session for strength, treadmill running, or indoor cycling if conditions are poor
💪 Strength, balance, and mobility work are key for injury prevention - especially in winter.
If you’ve had a slip, fall, or near-miss and something doesn’t feel right, early physio can prevent a small issue from becoming a season-ending injury.
