Ski~Mojo: endurance for every skier, with health benefits confirmed by a medical thesis
Ski~Mojo is not a medical device, yet health professionals often recommend it to skiers who experience knee, hip or back issues. Above all, it is intended for every skier. Its purpose is to enhance endurance and extend your time on snow. The relief you may feel in your joints is a welcome bonus rather than the primary goal.
The thesis explains how skiing places significant demands on the knees: repeated flexion, vibrations, lateral pressure and rotational forces during turns, especially as fatigue sets in. These factors increase stress on the ACL and the menisci and can trigger pain or accelerate joint wear. Lower-limb exoskeletons provide a mechanical response by assisting flexion and extension while sharing part of the load. In practice, they reduce perceived effort, help maintain a stable posture and limit peak stress, which makes long ski days more tolerable.
In October 2025, a medical thesis at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (Dr Maxence Bory) examined exoskeleton use among mountain professionals. Most respondents were ski instructors, mainly from ESF (École du Ski Français), together with a smaller number of ski patrollers. Ski~Mojo stands out as the most widely used device, and the results point to clear benefits for comfort, joint tolerance and sustained professional activity. This independent research confirms what thousands of recreational skiers have reported for years: more endurance, less pain and greater enjoyment on the slopes.
Adoption
Ski~Mojo is used by 93% of exoskeleton users among professionals. This exceptional take-up reflects strong trust from ski instructors and ski patrollers based on day-to-day experience.
Fewer medications
66% report reducing analgesics or anti-inflammatory drugs. Better pain management and less fatigue allow longer, more comfortable days on snow.
Activity maintained
63% of equipped ski instructors and ski patrollers maintain their usual work rhythm. Ski~Mojo supports continuity of activity, even late in the season when joints feel tired.
Less absenteeism
Over 70% notice fewer pain-related days off. This directly benefits ski instructors, ski patrollers and any role that relies on consistent presence on skis.
Surgery delayed
75% of users who had surgery feel Ski~Mojo helped them postpone a subsequent operation. By lowering joint load, it helps preserve mobility for longer.
Safety
The study did not observe an increased accident risk. Ski~Mojo follows the skier’s natural motion without disrupting technique or balance.
Survey size: 431 respondents, including 57 exoskeleton users. Reported benefits include pain reduction, lower medication use, sustained activity and fewer musculoskeletal issues.
Ski~Mojo is a mechanical exoskeleton dedicated entirely to skiing. It supports the natural flexion–extension of your legs while preserving complete freedom of movement, so your sensations remain intuitive and fluid. Its purpose is to help you ski longer, with less fatigue and more comfort throughout the day.
The product is robust by design and built to last. It uses resistant materials and assemblies that have been proven in real-world conditions. Every component is fully serviceable or replaceable if needed, which ensures a long service life season after season and enables sustainable maintenance over time.
Ski~Mojo is carefully manufactured in France with exacting know-how and ongoing quality control. With more than ten years of field feedback, it has established itself as the world reference in skiing exoskeletons, trusted by ski instructors, ski patrollers and passionate recreational skiers alike.

FAQ — Ski~Mojo and observed benefits
Is Ski~Mojo only for injured skiers?
No. It suits all skiers. It helps you ski longer with less effort while keeping natural sensations.
Does it really help with pain?
Yes. The thesis reports that many users experience less joint and muscle pain, particularly in the knees and lower back.
Is it only useful for professionals?
No. While widely adopted by ski instructors and ski patrollers, it is also ideal for recreational skiers who want more endurance with less fatigue.
Is there any safety concern?
The study did not identify a higher risk of accidents among users. Skiing remains a risk sport though, and any equipment — skis, poles or an exoskeleton — may cause injury in certain circumstances. This applies to Ski~Mojo as well. You should always stay in control of your speed and trajectory and adapt your skiing to your level and the conditions.
Where can I demo it?
Many partner stores offer demos. Please check the interactive map on the Store Locator page.
