Ep 118: SPORTS CORNER: Meeting the challenges of high performance in snow sports, with Dr Cara Baxter
Dr Cara Baxter takes Dan and Chelsea through the keys to designing top-quality rehabilitation programs for ski and snow athletes. Dr Baxter describes the wide variety of competitive events, the demands they place on the athlete, plus the common acute and chronic injuries that plague particular snow sport disciplines. We discuss the travel and schedule demands of the sport, the cognitive demands, the harsh and changing environment, and how you and the athlete can make an informed decision about when is the right time to return to snow.
