Quando ocorre uma les\u00e3o, Dr. Robertson<\/a> est\u00e1 l\u00e1 para os defender, certificando-se de que os cuidados m\u00e9dicos que recebem dos prestadores locais cumprem os mais elevados padr\u00f5es.

\"Fazer parte da equipa \u00e9 mais do que apenas prestar cuidados m\u00e9dicos - trata-se de garantir que estes atletas possam perseguir os seus sonhos em seguran\u00e7a\", afirma o Dr. Robertson. \"V\u00ea-los superar desafios, seja nas pistas ou na recupera\u00e7\u00e3o, \u00e9 incrivelmente gratificante. Alguns de n\u00f3s conhecemo-nos h\u00e1 anos e agora somos mais como uma fam\u00edlia. \u00c9 uma experi\u00eancia fant\u00e1stica.\"<\/p>\n<\/div>

O Dr. Robertson tamb\u00e9m oferece dicas de esqui aos esquiadores recreativos que procuram aperfei\u00e7oar as suas capacidades. \"O equil\u00edbrio muscular e a for\u00e7a do n\u00facleo s\u00e3o essenciais\", aconselha. \"O posicionamento correto nas pistas \u00e9 fundamental tanto para o desempenho como para a recupera\u00e7\u00e3o. As t\u00e9cnicas corretas podem prepar\u00e1-lo para o sucesso e ajud\u00e1-lo a recuperar se sofrer uma queda.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
