Dog sledding in summer is an adrenaline rush all its own. Whether you’re navigating a glacier tour or training on dry-land rigs, the physical demands are real. It’s not just about holding on (although that’s crucial!)—it’s about staying in control through quick turns, rough terrain, and long runs. That takes more than grit. It takes a body that moves well, recovers quickly, and holds up under pressure.
Don’t Let Pain Take the Reins
The twisting, bending, and bracing that come with mushing can leave your spine and joints feeling out of sync. “Even a small misalignment can affect your coordination or cause discomfort in your back, hips, or shoulders,” says Dr. Young. Our team uses advanced, non-invasive techniques like Atlas Orthogonal and Cox Flexion Distraction to help restore alignment and function so you stay in command—not sidelined.
Recovery That Keeps You Moving
Between the thrill and the chill, it’s easy to forget what your body just went through. That’s where recovery matters most. “We offer options like cold laser, shockwave, and ultrasound therapies to help reduce post-run inflammation and promote faster healing so you’re ready for the next ride,” says Dr. Pairmore.
