Winter Injury Prevention Presentation
Athletes of any level are prone to injuries, but being prepared for winter sports, including skiing and snowboarding – can be the best education any winter athlete can have.
Join Tahoe Orthopedics & Sports Medicine’s Dr. Terrance Orr, Orthopedic Surgeon and Chris Proctor, Barton Health Physical Therapist on Wednesday, Jan. 26 for a FREE, hour-long discussion. The hour will focus on injury prevention, surgical options and sport-specific conditioning.
“In some cases injuries are related to snow sport accidents that were unpreventable, but in a lot of cases these injuries are related to a lack of pre-season conditioning and/or overtraining,” Proctor said. “Snow sports are a big part of our lifestyle, but our talk also will include preventative measures for court and field sports.”
