Ski & Snowboard
Calgary is the gateway to world-class skiing. Our team knows ACL rehab, pre-season conditioning, and return-to-slope protocols better than anyone.
From Nakiska to Lake Louise to Whistler, Calgary skiers and snowboarders push hard — and when injuries happen, they need a team that understands the specific demands of skiing and snowboarding. We specialize in the full spectrum of care: from same-season acute injury management to off-season ACL reconstruction rehab and pre-season return-to-snow protocols.
Our Approach
Pre-season ACL prevention screening, post-surgical return-to-snow protocols, and in-season injury management — we cover the full ski calendar. We also provide custom knee brace fitting (DonJoy, Össur CTi) for skiers returning from ligament injuries who want the confidence of professional protection on the hill.
Common Ski & Snowboard Injuries We Treat

Shoulder Injuries (SLAP, Rotator Cuff)
Fall-related shoulder injuries including SLAP tears, rotator cuff strains, and AC joint separations.
Skier's Thumb (UCL)

Ankle and wrist injuries from heel-edge catches. Full post-casting rehabilitation and return-to-park protocols.
Lower Back Pain
Disc and facet pain from the forward-flexed ski stance. Manual therapy, decompression, and season-long management.
