It usually occurs with a twisting fall, often at slow speed when the ski bindings don\u2019t release. Early physiotherapy and use of a brace is usually successful in treating MCL injuries.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)<\/strong><\/span> is a more serious injury as this usually completely ruptures unlike the MCL. It is usually the result of a shearing force where the shin moves forward on the thigh bone during a fall. An ACL rupture often requires surgery to repair the torn ligament followed by extensive physiotherapy to restore movement, strength and function.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Meniscus or cartilage tears<\/strong><\/span> can also occur with skiing, often at the same time as ligament injuries. The meniscus tears when a skier falls with a twisting motion on a bent knee. Depending on the severity of the tear, surgery may be required to tidy up the torn portion and prevent the knee joint from locking. However, good physiotherapy can often restore full, pain-free function to a knee with a torn meniscus.\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Preventing&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16&#8243; text_text_color=&#8221;#7d78b9&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]\r\n\r\nHow PPASIC can Help Prevent and Treat Knee Injuries\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-704\" src=\"http:\/\/www.petersfield-physio-clinic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/b2ap3_thumbnail_Blog-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"b2ap3_thumbnail_Blog-2 (1)\" width=\"194\" height=\"259\" \/>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Pre-skiing quads (thigh muscles) strengthening exercises to support and protect the knee joint<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Balance\/proprioception exercises to help prevent falls<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Advice on how to fall properly without twisting the knee and to ensure your ski bindings aren\u2019t too tight<\/li>\r\n\t<li>RICE \u2013 rest, ice, compression, elevation and electrotherapy to reduce swelling and inflammation<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Mobilisations to restore full range of movement<\/li>\r\n\t<li>A graduated exercise programme to restore full strength and function<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Shoulders&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18&#8243; text_text_color=&#8221;#7d78b9&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;35|||&#8221;]\r\n\r\n<strong>Shoulders<\/strong>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]\r\n\r\nThere are four main shoulder injuries seen in skiers.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Dislocations<\/strong><\/span> occur following a fall onto an outstretched hand whilst twisting the shoulder. A dislocation is confirmed on X-ray and the skier will be supporting the arm and in a lot of pain. It is essential to reduce the shoulder (put it back in place) as soon as possible by someone qualified to do it! It will give instant pain relief but the shoulder should then be immobilised in a sling.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Clavicle (collar bone) fractures<\/strong><\/span> are also the result of a fall onto an outstretched arm where the impact travels up the arm to the collar bone. A visible, painful lump can be felt along the clavicle. As with dislocations, the arm should be immobilised in a sling for a couple of weeks. Fractured clavicles usually heal well but occasionally require surgery if the bone ends are severely displaced.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>AC Joint injuries<\/strong><\/span>. The acromioclavicular (AC) joint is at the outside edge of the shoulder and is a small joint between the clavicle and the shoulder blade. A fall causing direct impact onto the top of the arm can damage the ligament holding the two bones together. A severe sprain will cause separation on the two bones leading to a visible, painful lump.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>A fractured humerus<\/strong><\/span> (upper arm bone) can also occur with direct impact or sometimes a fall onto an outstretched hand. The diagnosis is confirmed with an X-ray but doesn\u2019t usually need surgery but should be rested in a sling followed by physiotherapy.\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Preventing&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16&#8243; text_text_color=&#8221;#7d78b9&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]\r\n\r\nHow PPASIC can Help Prevent and Treat Shoulder Injuries\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.petersfield-physio-clinic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/b2ap3_thumbnail_Blog-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-709\" src=\"http:\/\/www.petersfield-physio-clinic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/b2ap3_thumbnail_Blog-3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"b2ap3_thumbnail_Blog-3\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petersfield-physio-clinic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/b2ap3_thumbnail_Blog-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.petersfield-physio-clinic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/b2ap3_thumbnail_Blog-3.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Pre-skiing shoulder stabilising and strengthening programme<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Advice on maintenance exercises whilst in the sling<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Mobilisations to restore range of movement<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Soft tissue release techniques to stretch tight muscles and ligaments<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Graduated programme of mobilising, strengthening and stabilising exercises to restore full function.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Thumbs&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18&#8243; text_text_color=&#8221;#7d78b9&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;35|||&#8221;]\r\n\r\n<strong>Thumbs<\/strong>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-711\" src=\"http:\/\/www.petersfield-physio-clinic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/b2ap3_thumbnail_Blog-4-300x256.jpg\" alt=\"b2ap3_thumbnail_Blog-4\" width=\"300\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petersfield-physio-clinic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/b2ap3_thumbnail_Blog-4-300x256.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.petersfield-physio-clinic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/b2ap3_thumbnail_Blog-4.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\r\n\r\nSkiers thumb is a common injury that is often mis-diagnosed and under-treated. It is a sprain (or rupture) of the ligament at the base of the thumb which occurs when a skier falls whilst holding their pole. This can force the thumb outwards, away from the fingers, tearing the ligament. This injury can be very debilitating if not treated correctly, as the thumb is extremely important in grip strength and hand function.\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Preventing&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16&#8243; text_text_color=&#8221;#7d78b9&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]\r\n\r\nHow PPASIC can Help Prevent and Treat Thumb\u00a0Injuries\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Advice to ski without wrapping the pole straps round the wrist \u2013 the skier will drop the pole so avoiding injuring the thumb.

They are caused by collision, usually at high speed, with a stationary object such as a tree or pylon, another person or a fall backwards onto hard snow. Head injuries range in severity from a painful bump and mild headache to severe, permanent brain damage or death.\r\n\r\nAt PPASIC we are not neurological physiotherapists and, given the potentially serious implications, it would not be appropriate for us to treat head injuries. We could refer a head injury patient to other local neurological physiotherapists.\r\n\r\nHowever, as a preventative measure we would always recommend skiers to wear a helmet.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221;
