Skiing with injury

Any Physios out there???

Thought I would be OK playing in goal last night (too old even for that it seems!) but managed to pull/tear my thigh (quadricep muscle I think) when taking a goal kick which is causing quite a bit of pain this am. Due to go to Pamps on the 27th - obviously worried that I amy not be able to ski - anyone got any advice re anything that may help recovery?

elevate
ice 20 mins
heat 20 mins

repeat evry few hors

in a week start slowly strectching it out, if you had teares it it would be totally black and skiing would be out for 8 weeks so think you have proberly strained it.

Go see the doctor of course to check

re: Skiing with injury

just a little word of warning,if you are injured and then hurt yourself whilst skiing many insurance policies do not cover the cost of your treatment if they decide it is as a result of an pre existing medical condition,depends how good your insurance is

Just about to state the same as Michelle, so be careful boys, 2 years ago had to cancel Borovets & Bannf my mate fell off a ladder. He tried to get through with treatment but in the end realised it was a no go. We got our money back through insurance for the booked holiday. Just look at it this way there's always next season or the bar.

S.P.

If you self treat and don't mention it to doctor then it will be hard to prove its a pre existing condition!!

re: Skiing with injury

re: Skiing with injury

Hi
I also injured myself playing in goal at 48!!

Skied Borovets with Knee injury beginning of Jan
Brought special knee support for £60 which did the trick
Maybe worth checking what supports are available for thighs.
Hope it works out for you

re: Skiing with injury

Cheers guys.

Must admit I had considered the issue ref insurance + am tempted to do the cold/heat treatment (have spent lots of the morning with froxen peas/hot water bottle strapped to my leg!) without going to the doctor. Cant not go as taking two mates + staying at my place so will just have to prop the bar if injury is not sorted.
