It’s officially winter, which means it’s time to dig out that EPIC Pass, book time off, and get up to the mountains to enjoy the season. But did you know that - in 2014 - over 290,000 patients were treated for winter sports injuries in the United States? Among these, some of the most frequent injuries were from the following sports:
For many, time spent at a winter resort doing all those activities listed above is a highlight of the winter season. With varying skill and experience levels, plus the sheer quantity of people out on the runs, there always seems to be a first-aid snowmobile towing an injured athlete to receive medical attention. Only at a winter resort will you see such disparity of talent – from the first-timer who can’t board the skilift (why are we stopping AGAIN?) to the professional in the half-pipe. But wherever you find yourself in experience level or level of STOKE, begin with the end in mind. Take a moment to consider the prevention of injuries for your activity and how to avoid risking your health and safety. Here are some helpful tips from Incrediwear on how to avoid injury, while enjoying the outdoor sports you love!

Good advice. Thanks for sharing. I just started wearing your knee sleeve and am wondering how I can make the most of it — i.e., wearing it all day or all night, or both. Please advise. I received a knee injury due to a bad fall. Want to heal the quickest way possible.

I totally agree…!
I am walking, exercising, strengthening my joints and back to hiking… thanks to Incredwear
I wear it almost 24/7 for recovery and to give support to my muscles and femoral nerve
I was on crutches for 2.5 yrs and had difficulty walking for approximately 6 yrs
Incredwear gave me the support I needed to stand and then strengthen my leg
