Injury Prevention for Skiiers

It’s that wonderful time of the year when many of you will be heading off for a long-anticipated ski or snowboarding holiday. Here are a few tips to help prevent injuries spoiling your fun!!

Why You Should Seek Chiropractic Treatment

Preparation: fitness, exercise and stretching are important to get your muscles and ligaments into good shape well ahead of hitting the slopes. Having your spine checked and aligned before you go is a good idea, and as skiing and snowboarding rely on a strong core, hips and knees your chiropractor can advise exercises to help you prepare.

Warm up well: before you ski and after you have taken a well earned hot chocolate and lunch break.

Equipment: make sure your boots and skis are expertly fitted and adjusted for you

Be Patient: go steady for the first couple of days and don’t push yourself too far beyond your ability! Take time to adjust to the higher altitude

Warm bath or shower: after you finish for the day, have a lovely soak in a bath with some Epsom Salts or have a lovely long shower to ease those aching muscles!

Alcohol: be sensible and wait to enjoy this “Apres Ski”.

However careful you are, injuries unfortunately still happen. If you experience an injury with your neck, back, hips, knees, ankles, wrists, shoulders  then at City Chiropractic Clinic (Southampton) and Abbey Chiropractic Clinic (Romsey) we will be able to help you with advice and appropriate treatment. Give us a call on 02380 234477 or 01794 518772.

Chiropractor in Southampton

"The treatment was outstanding. They kept me fully informed at all times and returned me to my old self with smiles and laughter. Thoroughly recommend City Chiropractic."

L. Dewsbury

Following much careful consideration, we have decided to close City Chiropractic Clinic and transfer our hours to Abbey Chiropractic Clinic in Romsey with effect from 28 February 2026.After operating as City Chiropractic Clinic in Southampton for over 30 years, ever increasing overheads and other factors have led us to make this decision. This will however, enable us to operate from the same location 6 days a week, and all our wonderful staff will remain the same.

We very much value the support of our regular patients at the City Chiropractic Clinic, and we sincerely hope that you can continue your chiropractic care with us at our Romsey location. The clinic is conveniently located in Romsey opposite the train station at 4 MALMESBURY ROAD, ROMSEY< SO51 8FT, with free on-street parking.

If you are unable to attend the Abbey Chiropractic Clinic in Romsey, then we will willingly recommend a different chiropractor in Southampton, and make your clinic notes available to you and the new chiropractor following you completing a signed consent form for us to release your notes.
