Returning to Cross-Country Skiing After Injury
It's often possible to get back to cross-country skiing after an injury or surgery, but it's important to have a plan to do so safely. Dr. Aamir, a spine surgeon, and Darcy Olson, a physical therapist, provide key steps to ease back into skiing.
1. Check with your doctor to ensure you're ready.
2. Make sure your skis and poles fit correctly.
3. Choose a skiing location with flat to gently rolling terrain to avoid excessive strain on your back.
4. Perform a proper warm-up, including a brisk walk, gentle arm swings, and trunk stretches.
5. Start at 25% of your previous activity level and gradually increase.
6. Opt for classic skiing styles initially and progress to more strenuous techniques as you build strength.
7. Have fun and consider joining a ski club or taking lessons for added support.
Starting back thoughtfully and slowly will increase your chances of success and reduce the risk of re-injury. For personalized plans, consult your doctor or a certified physical therapist.
