Skiing and snowboarding are as demanding on the body as they are enjoyable. In this article we&#039;ve gathered practical tips for <strong>body care before and after ski season<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does Skiing Leave Behind?<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Thighs:<\/strong> Skiing for hours with bent knees keeps the thighs working; a burning, heavy feeling by the end of the day is common.<\/li><li><strong>Hips and lower back:<\/strong> Trunk and hip muscles are constantly engaged to keep balance.<\/li><li><strong>Calves:<\/strong> Ankles held still inside ski boots tire the calves.<\/li><li><strong>Shoulders and arms:<\/strong> Poles, falls and, in snowboarding, getting up off the snow again and again load the arms and shoulders.<\/li><li><strong>Cold:<\/strong> Muscles feel tighter in the cold.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pre-Season Preparation<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preparing your body a few weeks before your first day on the slopes makes it more enjoyable and reduces the heavy fatigue of the first days.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Leg and core strength:<\/strong> Start squats, lunges, wall sits and planks a few weeks ahead.<\/li><li><strong>Flexibility:<\/strong> Stretch the hips, thighs and calves.<\/li><li><strong>Fitness:<\/strong> Build endurance with walking, running or cycling.<\/li><li><strong>Care:<\/strong> A pre-season massage helps you notice built-up tension. After an intense period of training, a <a href=\"\/en\/urun\/spor-fizyoterapisi-yenilenme-seansi\/\">Sports Physiotherapy Recovery Session<\/a> is a good chance to review your movement quality.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recovery After the Trip<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you come back from the slopes your legs may be heavy, your back stiff and your body tired from the cold. During this time:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><a href=\"\/en\/urun\/volkanik-sicak-tas-masaji\/\">Volcanic Hot Stone Massage<\/a>:<\/strong> The softening effect of heat after the cold is perfect after skiing.<\/li><li><strong><a href=\"\/en\/urun\/spor-masaji-cold-plunge\/\">Sports Massage and Cold Plunge<\/a>:<\/strong> A brisk massage focused on the thighs and hips.<\/li><li><strong><a href=\"\/en\/urun\/isvec-masaji\/\">Swedish Massage<\/a>:<\/strong> Balanced, whole-body relaxation.<\/li><li><strong>Sauna and steam:<\/strong> Short warming sessions; see our <a href=\"\/en\/sauna-ve-buhar-odasi-kullanim-rehberi\/\">sauna guide<\/a> for details.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resting for a day after you return and then coming for a massage is usually more comfortable than the very next day.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Falls and Injuries<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Falling is part of skiing, but some falls lead to injury. If you have knee swelling, a sense of instability in a joint, sharp pain, or headache or nausea after hitting your head, see a doctor rather than having a massage.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Throughout the Winter<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cold, short winter days affect both body and mood.
