Why Move Better? One of the things we love about Nordic skiing is the workout and challenge it gives for the whole body. Nordic skiing takes some practice and self awareness in your body. Move Better does exactly that. They have taken their movement based medicine model of medical care and applied it to the sport of Nordic skiing. Clinic sessions provide a space without distractions to focus the quality and awareness of your movement so you can feel what Nordic skiing should feel like. Not only useful for the self awareness (being your own coach), now the Coaches and you have a common language in talking about ways to move and things to pay attention to once we are on snow!
We think these sessions are a great tool to improve technique and prevent or eliminate injuries.
