Show Notes
Dr Carrie Cooper does the lead climbing and helps you belay (see what we did there?) into the world of climbing. From bouldering to sport climbing—there's no need to go free solo (ok, ok...we'll stop now) if you don't know much about climbing. JOSPT Insights has you covered.
Dr Cooper discusses how climbing is like gymnastics, baseball, and rugby, with their shared hand, shoulder, and knee injuries. Some other key take-aways from the episode are how to identify weakness that climbers are so good at hiding, and how to progress a return to climb program. Hang on; it’s a good one!
