As Winter kicks into full gear, here in Colorado, droves of people will be hauling their skis, snowboards, snowshoes, and other equipment up and down the mountain to shred some powder and blast down the slopes. But what many people may not take into consideration when they go skiing, especially if it’s for a single sporadic stay rather than a weekly occurrence, is seeking the toll it will take on their body. The secret to minimizing damage is actually to seek quality massage for winter sports before, after, and in some cases even during your trip to the mountain.

Massage for Winter Sports Preparation and Recovery Getting Ready for winter Sports
As Winter kicks into full gear, here in Colorado, droves of people will be hauling their skis, snowboards, snowshoes, and other equipment up and down the mountain to shred some powder and blast down the slopes. But what many people may not take into consideration when they go skiing, especially if it’s for a single sporadic stay rather than a weekly occurrence, is seeking the toll it will take on their body.
For many Winter sports enthusiasts, the thrill of the slopes comes at a price: sore muscles, and various aches and pains. This is particularly true if you visit for a week at a time, only once or twice per season. Long an infrequent trips like this are especially stressful on the musculature, because the body hasn’t adjusted with regular activity of this kind. While some may choose to simply bite through the pain, what many don’t realize is that much of this soreness can actually be prevented, and recovered from more quickly, using the amazing benefits of massage. • Massage for Winter sports can be categorized into preparatory massage for before your trip up the mountain, and recovery massage, for after. Additionally, if you’re staying for an extended period such as a week, you can get recovery massage in-between sessions; however, massage at ski resorts is often quite expensive, and may not be an affordable option for many.
For your Preparatory massage, typically you will sign up for general, Therapeutic Massage, while of course notifying your masseuse that you are specifically preparing for a Winter sports trip. They may have you go through a set of movement tests, to see if there are any areas that are particularly stiff. Then, the masseuse will spend the majority of the time, or maybe even all of it, going over the areas that will be stressed the most by your trip, usually the legs, hips, and sometimes lower back. You will leave your massage facility feeling refreshed, and you will be more nimble and take longer to get sore, once on the mountain. • I hope that this post has been helpful, and that you will consider taking care of your body before and after your Winter sports this season, with some gentle and relaxing massage. Fun doesn’t always have to come at such a price, and with the right preparation and recovery, you can have even more fun without the dread of soreness later.
