PATIENT RESULTS
I ammore relaxed! “Working with Brad to improve my posture and plantar fasciitis has strengthen my back and allowed me to walk without pain. With my strong back, the correct skiing posture comes naturally. Brad’s diagnosis and treatment of plantar fasciitis has improved my balance, stability, and ability to pressure the edges of both skis. Now that the kinetic chain of feet, ankles, hips and back are working together, I am more relaxed, skiing efficiently and flowing down the mountain. I have been trying to improve my athletic ability for years, not realizing that the lack of physical therapy was hindering my performance. Thank you Canyon Sports Therapy!” - M.V.

EASING INTO YOUR SKI SEASON
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 onmore 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. Here you are likely to ingrain defensive movement patterns which while may feel efficient are in reality static and harder on ligaments, tendons and joints. Plan to stop for the day before your skiing technique deteriorates. The top World Cup Skiers understand that their last run is what their brain learns so they are quite careful quitting long before they fatigue and their skiing deteriorates. Tactfully graduated training ensures you will stay injury free and perform at your best.
