Ski-Fit and Winter Sports Preparation

Service Description

Podium Physio offers an extensive Ski-Fit and Winter Sports Preparation Programme specifically designed for individuals who are passionate about skiing and snowboarding, improving specific strength and conditioning markers whilst aiming to significantly reduce the risk of injuries.  This comprehensive service is fully customized to meet the unique requirements of each individual.   This initial assessment session over 90 mins allows for an understanding of some of the key physical and biomechanical readiness factors for ski, snowboard and winter sports.  This can be used for advice on current issues/level/readiness or more commonly to work further into improving a number of factors including movement, strength, performance and reducing injury risk within planned follow up sessions. A detailed battery of tests are implemented based on a number of physical and pre-requisite factors to meticulously assess your current physical condition in relation to winter sports.  This thorough assessment allows a design and planning process that is highly specific which can lead to an appropriate training regimen optimizing overall performance on the slopes.  Any level from beginner to elite/competitive can work through this level adjusted process. In addition, time is taken to carefully review any prior injuries you may have experienced.  This crucial step enables any program to specifically accommodate and address any existing weaknesses or vulnerabilities.   The primary focus is on methodically planning and building solid foundations and gradual progressions to enhance the individual.  This strategic approach is devised to help you prepare optimally for the demands and physical challenges of skiing and snowboarding. The 90min session does not provide a full training plan. It is a pathway in assessment to developing an injury prevention or conditioning programme. You will leave the session with a greater understanding of your physical preparedness and have potential baseline corrective or training drills to complete prior to a subsequent follow up session. Follow up sessions chargeable at 45/60/75/90min rates.
