How to keep skiing after bad knee injuries

admin — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 17:30:59 +0000

Unfortunately, many skiers suffer from bad knees, which prevents them from being able to enjoy the sport they love.

Shoulder injuries are the second most frequently reported among skiers, but it is the knees that bear the brunt of the sport’s physical demands.

Statistics show that 2.6 injuries happen per 1,000 skier days with knee injuries accounting for 30-40% of all injuries.

Google data has shown increases in search terms related to ski injuries. Reports have suggested that ACL injuries from skiing has doubled in the last year. Without proper strength training, equipment, and injury prevention techniques, knee injuries can leave skiers sidelined for months.

“Every year I’m seeing more and more winter injuries, the majority are from skiing or snowboarding accidents which are usually broken bones (fractures) or ligament injuries in the knee.”

The good news is that there is a solution: the Ski Mojo!

Skiing again after bad knee injuries

So many of our customers have come back to us about how the Ski Mojo has changed their skiing lives.

Whether it’s skiing after torn knee ligaments [Read Geza’s story], coming back from an ACL injury [Read Rachel’s story] or even an ACL reconstruction [Read Clare’s story] the Ski Mojo has helped.

“I’d say that 15-20% of my patients between January and April have sustained a knee injury whilst skiing. The ACL is injured when skiers fall due to a twisting force across the knee, such as when the ski bindings do not release”

The Ski Mojo takes weight off your knees

The Ski Mojo takes around one-third of your weight off your legs, as well as giving you lateral protection around the knee.

That means that twisting motions, awkward falls, and the unique stress on joints and muscles are all less likely if you are using the Ski Mojo.

Skiing again after ACL, MCL and tibial plateau fractures

The most common serious knee injury in skiing is an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, but the Ski Mojo has also helped skiers with other injuries such as a tibial plateau fracture [Read John’s story] or multiple ligament injuries within the knee, such as a medial collateral ligament (MCL) [Read Mary’s story].
