Preparing for an Active Holiday? ⛷🏄‍♀️🏇

Recently, Kathryn, owner and osteopath at Walnut Grove Clinic, hit the slopes of Austria for a skiing trip. Despite putting in the work beforehand with kettlebell training, she still found it surprisingly tough on her body.

Skiing (and other active holidays) demand strength, endurance, balance, and mobility. Even when you feel fit, the combination of long days, repetitive movements, and unfamiliar terrain can really challenge your muscles and joints.

If you’re planning a skiing trip or activity-filled getaway, here’s how to prepare:

✅ Build lower body strength - Focus on quads, glutes, hamstrings, and calves.
✅ Train for endurance - Your legs need stamina for full days on the slopes.
✅ Work on balance and stability - Single-leg exercises are key.
✅ Don’t skip mobility - Hips, ankles, and thoracic spine mobility make a huge difference.
✅ Recover well - Stretching, hydration, and adequate rest are essential.

Even with great preparation, it’s normal to feel it! The goal isn’t to avoid all soreness, it’s to reduce injury risk and recover faster so you can enjoy your trip.

And yes… the photo you’re looking at is Kathryn mid-holiday, demonstrating that gravity always wins eventually - and some proof she didn't spend the entire trip on her backside! 😆❄

Each week we’re introducing a member of our therapy team - this week it’s Kathryn, Osteopath and co-owner of Walnut Grove ✨

After experiencing the benefits of osteopathy as a teenager, Kathryn was inspired to train at the British School of Osteopathy, qualifying in 2002. She has since expanded her skills to include dry needling (Western acupuncture), shockwave therapy (NICE approved), and APPI Pilates training, which she incorporates into rehabilitation programmes to support both acute and chronic conditions.

Kathryn has a particular interest in helping patients build resilience through strength and movement, believing this is key to long-term health and injury prevention. She is also a registered practitioner with Arthritis Action and several private healthcare providers, including AXA.

Kathryn joined Walnut Grove Clinic in 2007 and, alongside her husband Steve, runs the clinic. Outside work, she enjoys long walks, kettlebell training and standing on soggy pitches watching her kids play sport!
