Ski / Snowboard: Ski~Mojo Reduces Knee, Hip & Back Pain
Do you have knee, hip or back pain when skiing? The Ski~Mojo exoskeleton effectively reduces the load on your joints, delays muscle fatigue and helps you stay in control all day long, while preserving the athletic pleasure of your favorite activity.
2024 Survey (2,583 users): Results That Speak for Themselves
- 99% of users believe Ski~Mojo relieves and protects their knees.
- 98% confirm thigh relief and delayed muscle fatigue.
- 40% report hip and/or back relief.
- 97% are satisfied or very satisfied with their Ski~Mojo.
- 96% feel the effectiveness and ease of use have met or exceeded their expectations.
Why It Works? Load Reduction + Shock Absorption + Delayed Fatigue
Ski~Mojo reduces the weight felt by the legs by about a third (15 to 45 kg / 33 to 99 lb), absorbs shocks and vibrations and delays the buildup of lactic acid in the quadriceps. The result: you ski longer, with more precision, while protecting your knees, hips and back. Pain is neither masked nor displaced: it is the causes that lead to the pain that disappear.
Comparison: Ski~Mojo vs. Knee Brace / Orthosis
Ski~Mojo and knee braces (or orthoses, splints, etc.) are two different and often complementary solutions. One cannot completely replace the other.
- Knee Brace / Orthosis: stabilizes and protects the joint, limits certain movements (lateral, unnatural), which Ski~Mojo does not do.
- Ski~Mojo: reduces felt weight by ~1/3, absorbs shocks, immediately reduces pain and preserves freedom of movement, which an orthosis does not do.
The two can be complementary: you can wear an orthosis — even a bulky one — under your Ski~Mojo if needed.
And for You?
Nothing beats a demo of Ski~Mojo to ensure its effectiveness for your own case. Once properly adjusted, you'll quickly forget it's there. The only differences: you ski with much more intensity and, if you had muscular or joint pain, it will disappear or be greatly reduced. Thus, even if Ski~Mojo is not a medical device (like an electric assist bike), users with the following conditions are relieved in their skiing practice:
- Gonarthrosis (including stage IV)
- Joint problems: cartilage, menisci, ligaments, tendons, kneecaps
- Patellofemoral syndromes
- Knee sprain
- Osgood-Schlatter
- Low back pain
- Muscular weaknesses
- Soreness
- Etc.
Ski~Mojo also allows you to ski longer before a prosthesis is needed and, when one is already in place, Ski~Mojo could extend its lifespan.
Note that Ski~Mojo will not make you ski faster. However, by taking fewer breaks and being more precise on your skis, you will fully enjoy your days by maximizing your skiing time, with a more intense pleasure. Your technique should also improve thanks to the system's effect on your posture (hips more forward and a more central stance) and delayed fatigue from the springs acting as "additional quadriceps."
Additional Tips
- Strengthen your quadriceps, glutes and core before the season to stabilize your knees, hips and back.
- Carefully adjust your bindings and wear boots with adapted insoles to limit stress.
- Keep your skis wide for powder: on hard snow, they put more strain on the knees and cause faster fatigue.
- Warm up before putting on your skis and take regular breaks.
- If pain persists, consult a physiotherapist or a sports doctor.
Opinions from Professionals & Athletes
"Very quickly, once you get used to the Ski~Mojo, you feel a support in the anterior muscle chain. The quadriceps forces less. The knees are under less strain and you feel like you weigh 20 kg less. For patellofemoral syndromes and kneecap problems, this device is of great interest. The same is undoubtedly true for more advanced arthrosis. I also see an interest in the recovery phase, especially after a knee prosthesis, where this device can be useful to help recover quadriceps and muscle tone, but also to reduce prosthesis wear and limit the risk of loosening."
"In a study conducted in our biomechanics laboratory, we discovered that the Ski~Mojo allows the quadriceps to function at 70% of their reference activity while engaging the hamstrings more. These muscles, too often neglected in the physical preparation of skiers, contribute to the prevention of knee sprains. This device also allows for an increase in exercise duration and thus a gentler and more progressive muscle strengthening of the users' legs. We are faced here with a real revolution in lower limb safety in the practice of skiing."
"After a day of trying it, I adopted it for my personal use. My usual pains due to arthrosis, favored by a slight overweight, disappeared despite a more intense and longer skiing day than usual. This is a huge technical advance."
"It's not a gadget. It really relieves the quadriceps and knees without you even realizing it. And you appreciate being able to activate or deactivate it as you wish, even if its incredible contribution encourages us to use it on every run."
"I adopted Ski~Mojo to relieve my knee pain. The result is amazing: the pain significantly decreases and I find myself skiing even better, with cleaner technique."
