Overview

We’ve developed a specialized Nordic ski rehabilitation program that takes into consideration the specific elements and demands of the sport when recovering from both acute and chronic injuries. No matter what type of skier you are — recreational, competitive, or elite — we can help you heal.

Our approach

Nordic ski program treatment plans may include:

  • A comprehensive evaluation, including assessment of joint mechanics, identifying muscle imbalances, and analyzing stability and control with dynamic ski-specific movement testing 
  • A skier-specific rehabilitation program focused on improving joint mechanics and movement coordination, normalizing muscle function, increasing strength and power, and developing ski mechanics efficiency
  • A video analysis assessment to evaluate technical aspects of skiing, both on and off snow
    Ski-specific exercise program to improve muscle balance and strength, flexibility, power, coordination, and technique
