Those interested in technical excellence and discovering new potential or simply improving their skiing will want to have their own physical performance tuned up. Dr Matthew Bennett, a chiropractor with a special interest in ski ergonomics, will be carrying out full assessments of skiing posture and the effect of hidden physical problems which limit skiing ability both in the UK and the French Alps during this season.
The program, which has proven effective with beginners and experts alike, draws on video analysis, muscle testing and detailed chiropractic joint examination to identify weaknesses that cause persistent technique problems. Corrections involve postural and muscle strength improvements as well as chiropractic adjustments. Once optimum biomechanics have been achieved, focus then turns to equipment. Ski bindings can be wedged; boots fitted with precision orthotics (footbeds) and the boot cuffs canted.

A new course for skiing and health professionals will be taking place 31st Jan 2009 for one week in a European ski resort.  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for details.
