Ski Injuries – Physiotherapists, Sports Medicine Physicians, Ski Equipment, Ski Safety Videos & Transcripts

Skiing is an extremely enjoyable sport, but you need to be prepared to avoid injury on the hill. HealthChoicesFirst has a number of ski safety videos and transcripts, along with resources on ski injury prevention, exercise and nutrition.
Knee injuries are incredibly common in skiing. The ligaments in the knee are like ropes that provide stability to the joints and also connect bones. There are four main ligaments in the knee:

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
The medial collateral ligament (MCL)
The lateral collateral ligament (LCL)

Physiotherapists & Sports Braces

If you've already suffered a ski injury, sports braces can help heal and support the injury. Chronic ski injuries are a concern - if you suffer one ski injury you're at risk of re-injury, especially if the ski injury doesn't have a chance to properly heal.

HealthChoicesFirst features a variety of local physiotherapists and bracing providers who can provide you with information and assistance with ankle braces, knee braces, wrist braces, and more. Your local physiotherapist can help rehabilitate and heal a variety of ski injuries.
