Skiing to the fullest, without painful muscles and joints

How do you ensure you stand smoothly and pain-free on your skis or snowboard, and how do you reduce the risk of injury? In this article, you will receive 9 tips to ensure you get the most out of a carefree winter sports holiday!

Tip 1. Give your back a relaxing car ride
Winter sports often start with a long car ride. And that is sometimes a greater strain on your back than the skiing itself. Therefore, make sure your car seat is properly adjusted, take sufficient breaks while driving, and go for a short walk or do some exercises during the break to really get moving. This way, you prevent stiffness in the back, which can subsequently cause problems while skiing.

Tip 2. Do a warm-up
Start your day with a good warm-up before heading onto the slopes to prepare your muscles and joints for the physical exertion. For example, do a number of ‘dynamic stretching exercises’. In other words, stretching exercises where you briefly stretch your muscles and then move on. You don’t need to ‘hold’ the stretch. These stretching exercises are ideal for improving blood circulation and warming up your muscles. Your leg and back muscles, in particular, will be very grateful for a good warm-up!

Tip 3. Pay attention to your posture
Pay attention to your posture while skiing or snowboarding. Keep your back straight and bend your knees and hips when making turns. This prevents excessive strain on your back and, consequently, injuries or complaints.

Tip 4. Wear well-fitting boots
Make sure your ski boots fit well and are properly adjusted. Good equipment helps prevent injuries and reduce strain on your joints. Also, always wear a helmet to protect your head.

Tip 5. Listen to your body (especially on day 3!)
Did you know that most accidents happen on day 3 of a winter sports trip? Probably due to the combination of built-up fatigue and slight overconfidence after the first two days of skiing. If you experience pain or discomfort, take a (half) day to rest and recover. Don’t push yourself too hard, especially if you are tired.

Tip 6. Drink more water (and less alcohol 😉)
You drink enough water during the summer holidays, but we often forget to do so during winter sports. It makes sense, but your body needs 1.5 liters of water per day to function properly. So even if it is cold outside, make sure to drink enough water. And of course, après-ski is very fun, but alcohol makes you sleep less well and leaves you less fit to ski the next day! As a result, a fall or injury is more likely to occur!

Tip 7. Lift and walk carefully with heavy ski gear
Be careful off-piste when lifting, carrying, and walking with heavy skis. And watch out for slippery patches of sidewalk or road if you have to walk a short distance. Always loosen your boots really well before you try to pull your leg out: a small effort and a great benefit for your back! Tip 8. Strengthen your (core) muscles
A strong core is essential for stability during winter sports activities. Exercises such as planks, bridges, and ‘the superman’ can help strengthen your core muscles and prevent back pain. It is also good to train your legs before you leave, especially if you sit a lot for your work.

Tip 9. Book a chiropractic check-up!
Before you go on a winter sports trip, a visit to a chiropractor can be useful to identify and address existing problems.
