Ski Show 2006
Dr Craig, Dr Carlyle and Dr Adrian
were at this year's ski show, working with the pro skiers
and riders helping them to perform at their very best.
Dendrix and big air
The slope this year was not real snow, but a brush plastic
material which reacts very differently to ice. Some of the
althletes train on dry slopes and were used to the different
feel, but others had only trained on snow. Either way, the
run up was steep, the air was big and the landings were hard
but the riding was impressive to say the least.
With a packed line up for each live display and competition
at the show, there were plenty of skiers and boarders who
were keen for an adjustment from the Chiropractors. All the
guys take knocks and falls on a regular basis in training
and competition, so it makes sense to check them out.
Best in the UK
As well as some of the UK's best skiers and boarders, Dr Craig
also worked with top wakeboarders and many of the acrobatic
dancers modelling the new season skiwear at the show. All
use their bodies in their professions, and are acutely aware
of problems and left right inbalances.
Craig adjusted Mikey Wakefield before both the London
Ride 06 final and the
AIM 06 final - both of which he went on to win!

Having your body perform at it's
best potential is paramount when you are flying through the
air and need to be able to accurately judge your position
in the air and, most importantly, your landing.
Many thanks to Oakley
IWe had a great spot in the chill out 'riders environment'
which meant we could be on hand before and after all the big
air comps.
