Forte Physio & Peak Sports Physio Hakuba Collaboration
Seamless Injury Care for Western Australians Skiing in Japan
For those living on the west coast of Australia, planning a ski holiday to the Snowy Mountains or even New Zealand can be a logistical gamble. After investing significant time and money, many travellers are met with inconsistent snow conditions—rocks, grass, mud, and less-than-ideal skiing.
It’s no surprise that so many Western Australians choose Hakuba, Japan, for their snow holidays instead. For a similar cost and only marginally longer travel time, Hakuba delivers world-class powder snow, reliable conditions, and an unforgettable cultural experience. From relaxing onsens and exceptional Japanese food to welcoming locals, Hakuba offers far more than just skiing and snowboarding.
The Risk of Ski & Snowboard Injuries in Hakuba
While Hakuba is renowned for its deep powder, these conditions can increase the risk of injury—particularly soft tissue injuries. Skiers and snowboarders are more susceptible to injuries such as:
ACL and MCL tears
Syndesmosis (high ankle) injuries
Knee, ankle, and lower limb trauma
Deep powder can cause skis or boards to suddenly stop while the body continues moving forward, placing significant strain on joints and ligaments. When injuries happen overseas, navigating Japanese healthcare and travel insurance can be overwhelming without expert support.
