Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Can somebody recommend a sports physio in the North West?

Hello

My girlfriend has a problem with her knees. We've just done 6 days in Morzine and she's injured both knees on 3 occasions. Once from tangling up with somebody getting off a chairlift and twice when falling. She is not seriously injured and can walk OK with a bit of a limp. She did not require any medical attention.

She has really weak knees and/or legs. I've had her bindings checked out by a technician at Snow and Rock and I've even loosened them further, but her knees (or legs) are really weak at resisting the twisting effect you get on the knees when you fall, and her bindings don't always release.

She wears a support (Bioskin) on each knee with steel braces on both sides, one on a previously injured knee and the other as a precaution. A wise precaution since she injured this knee as well. Although I'm not entirely sure if these supports are what she needs in that I'm not sure if they will help the kee resist twisting.

She takes the view that the tangling incident and the falls are accidents, and are unlikely to happen again, but I told her these are a normal part of skiing.

We need to go and get a consultation with a physio who can either tell her she should not ski, or can tell her what excersises she can do to strengthen her knees/legs such as excercising the quadriceps for example.

Although I'd like her to continue, I personally don't think she should ski. She is determined to carry on though.

Can anyone recommend a physio in the North West who is good with ski injuries?

Thanks

If Chester is not too far for you, try Phil Cabrell at Chester Wellness Centre. Although he doesn't specialise in ski injuries he is well qualified and very, very good. I went to see him with a back problem I had which he sorted out for me.
