🎿 Ski Season – Are You Ready to Ski Injury Free?

Get the Most Out of Winter with Pre-Season Training and Injury Rehab

The snow is coming — and for many of us in Owen Sound, Port Elgin, and across Grey-Bruce, that means it’s almost time to hit the slopes! Whether you’re planning weekend trips to Blue Mountain or enjoying the local hills, skiing is one of the best ways to stay active through winter.

But before you dust off your skis, ask yourself: is your body ready for ski season? A bit of pre-season training and physiotherapy can make all the difference between a strong, confident start — or an early-season injury.

🏋️‍♀️ Why Pre-Season Training Matters for Recreational Skiers

Skiing is fun, but it’s also demanding. It challenges your legs, core, balance, and coordination. Without preparation, your body might not be ready for those first few runs — especially if you’ve been less active over the summer or fall.

Here’s how a pre-season training program helps you get slope-ready:

1. Build Strength and Endurance

Stronger quads, hamstrings, and glutes give you better control on uneven terrain and reduce fatigue. You’ll ski longer, feel steadier, and enjoy more time on the hill.

2. Improve Balance and Stability

Good balance means better control — and fewer falls. Physiotherapist-guided balance exercises help train your body to respond quickly when conditions get tricky.

3. Boost Mobility and Flexibility

Tight hips or stiff knees can limit your movement and increase injury risk. Gentle stretching and mobility work keep your joints moving freely and comfortably.

4. Prevent Common Ski Injuries

Pre-season conditioning helps protect against sprains, ACL tears, and muscle strains. A few weeks of smart training now can save you months of recovery later.
