Snow Injuries Clinic

Specialist care from the start

Our snow injuries clinic brings together consultants, sports medicine doctors, physiotherapists and imaging experts who regularly treat skiing and snowboarding injuries. If you’ve been hurt on the slopes or returned home with pain that hasn’t settled, you can access specialist assessment, scans when needed and coordinated care in one place.

What We Treat

Our snow injuries clinic cares for anyone injured while skiing or snowboarding, from first-time skiers who take a tumble on holiday or on indoor slopes, to elite winter sports athletes looking for performance-led expertise to return safely to competition. We support people returning to the UK after treatment abroad, as well as anyone who has fallen on the slopes and has pain, swelling or instability that hasn’t settled.
