Why You Need to See a Physiotherapist in Hakuba
If you’ve had an accident on the slopes, slipped on icy roads, or taken a tumble while enjoying Hakuba, you may already be wondering how to get back to full strength without ruining your holiday.
Even after seeing a doctor for an X-ray and receiving a cast, sling, or brace, a visit to a physiotherapist can make a huge difference in your recovery. At Peak Sports Physio Hakuba, we help you manage pain, regain mobility, stay safe while travelling, and start early rehabilitation—all essential for getting you back on your feet faster.
We can separate the benefits into four categories
Pain Management
Regaining Mobility
Safety While Travelling (DVT risk)
Early Rehabilitation
Our range of boots, prosthetics and braces assist in stabilising your injury so that you are able to weight-bear, and get around a little easier.
Pain Management
Physiotherapy isn’t just about exercise—it’s about helping your body heal while keeping you comfortable.
Remedial massage reduces swelling, eases tight muscles, and alleviates pain.
Cryotherapy and compression therapy with our state-of-the-art GameReady unit can drastically reduce pain and inflammation in just 30 minutes.
Effective pain management means you can move more comfortably and start your recovery sooner.
Regaining Mobility
Injuries to the lower limbs or other joints can make everyday movements difficult—especially when carrying heavy luggage or navigating snowy streets.
At Peak Sports Physio Hakuba, we provide:
Supportive boots, prosthetics, and braces to stabilise your injury and help you weight-bear safely.
Deployable spikes for crutches to prevent slips on icy roads.
Our goal is to get you moving safely, so you can enjoy your Hakuba holiday even with an injury.
Safety While Traveling (Minimise DVT Risk)
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a serious risk for anyone with a lower limb injury. Poor circulation can cause blood clots, which may travel to your heart, lungs, or brain, resulting in life-threatening complications.
Your DVT risk increases with swelling and immobilisation from injury—but physiotherapy can help reduce it through:
Anti-coagulant medication (as prescribed by your doctor)
Compression garments, such as travel socks
Cryotherapy and compression therapy using GameReady
Drainage massage techniques
Staying proactive with these treatments ensures safer travel and a healthier recovery.
Early Rehabilitation
Medical research consistently shows that early rehabilitation leads to faster, more complete recovery.
Even if surgery is a possibility, maintaining muscle strength and joint range of motion before your operation can make your post-surgery rehabilitation smoother and more effective.
From shoulders to knees, we design rehabilitation programs that respect your injury while helping your body heal efficiently.
