Enjoy your time on the slopes

Winter is the time of year when many consider hitting the slopes for some skiing or snowboarding sessions. Here are a few tips to make sure overexertion doesn’t ruin your holiday:

• Warm up before strenuous skiing or snowboarding.
• Start off gently rather than heading first for the black runs and round the day off with a good stretching session.
• Take plenty of breaks.
• Moderate the length of time on the slopes.
• Above all else, listen to your body.

If you want to keep your spine healthy while you swish and slide, pop into the clinic for a chiropractic treatment or massage to keep your joints and muscles loose and flexible.
