Are you a skier or snowboarder?

 

Do you want to enhance your performance and / or enjoy your time on the snow more?

 

We’ve introduced a specialist Snow Physiotherapy service to help!

This service is suitable for all skill levels, recreational through to elite, and ages, youth to adult/master athletes, of participants in:

  • Alpine/Ski Cross
  • Freestyle (ex. Aerial Skiing)
  • Ski Moguls
  • Park & Pipe, and
  • Snowboarding.

 

You will have an initial 30-minute appointment, during which our Strength Testing Equipment (ForceFrame, NordBoard & ForceDecks) will be utilised as part of a full physical capacity assessment.

We request patients come 10 minutes early to fill out a questionnaire.

 

A follow-up consultation is then focused on exercise prescription. By the end of this session you will have an individualised exercise program tailored to your goals and needs. You can then choose to implement that exercise program on your own, or under supervision (via our Group Exercise Classes or through one-on-one sessions at the Clinic).

 

This exercise program will assist you in:

  • preparing your body for the snow
  • improving your strength, flexibility, and agility
  • injury prevention, and
  • recovery.

 

This service is presented by Physiotherapist Jennifer Lohmus, who has extensive ice and snow experience - read her bio here.

 

If you have any further questions or would like to book into this service, please call us on 9481 5744.

 

Please note: Private Health Insurance rebates are applicable to this service.
