EASING INTO YOUR SKI SEASON by John Feig, PT,CEO
Approach any new season outdoor activity wisely. Our body responds brilliantly when subjected to progressive increasing stress. Plan to dose your activity by limiting your time as well as difficulty of the terrain you plan to take on. Begin your ski season on more gentle terrain. Allow your body the luxury of comfortably exploring its flexibility limits while at the same time subjecting your muscles to manageable forces. Temper — for at least the first few weeks on snow — your urge to take on advanced terrain. During this early period you are more likely to ingrain defensive movement patterns which may feel efficient but are, in reality, static and hard on ligaments, tendons and joints. Ending skiing when your technique begins to deteriorate will help prevent this. Proper conditioning will also help. The Best World Cup Skiers understand that their last run is what their brain remembers so they are quite careful to call it a day long before they fatigue and their skiing deteriorates. Tactful and graduated training ensures you will stay injury free and perform at your best.
