Skiing is a demanding sport that puts strain on your body in unique ways. Even if you are someone who stays active, skiing can cause a lot of fatigue and even injury. Because skiing is usually fun and exhilarating, endorphins and other feel-good hormones allow us to push our bodies past where they might normally be willing to go.
But the twisting and turning (and sometimes tumbling!) in skiing can leave you feeling worn out at the end of the day. In addition, the constrictive nature of ski boots can lead to all sorts of lower body discomfort, from sore feet to sciatic nerve pain. Those boots are definitely not made for walkin’!
To begin, there are a few things you can do yourself to make your muscles happy. Check out these recovery moves for skiers. A tennis ball or even a foam roller are also handy and helpful tools to have.
However, sometimes the pain is greater, and self-care isn’t enough. There are several methods that we can explore at ReSet to help you find skiing pain relief, depending on your pain:
Skiing demands a lot of your cardiovascular system and keeping it healthy will keep you on the slopes to your heart’s content. Adding HOCATT™ Ozone Therapy is your best bet. The HOCATT™ system combines up to ten effective therapies into one treatment. These treatments improve cardiovascular function by cleaning arteries and veins, improving circulation, and maintaining healthy blood pressure.
HOCATT™ sessions will do your body a lot of good both pre- and post-ski. You can read more about the benefits of this incredible system here.
For many of us, skiing is a once-in-a-while treat, which is why it can be so taxing on our bodies. If you are lucky enough to make skiing a regular pastime, you may want to consider some bodily maintenance at Reset Lounge to keep you in peak performance all season long. Adding one or more of these treatments, using the Neubie to increase muscle strength or working with one of our personal trainers will help keep you doing what you love to do this winter.
