Climbing and training places a ton of repetitive strain on our bodies.  Far too many climbers are continually suffering from injuries that make climbing painful, affect performance, and in the worst cases prevent them from climbing all together.  It’s with the goal of helping climbers resolve these nagging injuries that physical therapist Dr. Jared Vagy developed his Rock Rehab Pyramid System.

The Rock Rehab Pyramid

The Rock Rehab Pyramid is a step-by-step rehabilitation and injury prevention plan designed specifically for rock climbers. The goal of the four-phase process is to take you from the pain, inflammation and tissue overload stage to gain full mobility, strength and eventually pain-free climbing movement.

Following the Rock Rehab Pyramid will help you:

• Understand how to unload muscles and tendons with taping
• Learn stretching and strengthening exercises to perform
• Improve climbing movement to reduce injury risk
• Watch videos for every exercise and technique
• Learn the sets and reps of each exercise, and how often
• Know when to advance to next stage

Injuries Covered

Currently, TrainingBeta and Dr. Vagy are offering three different videos that cover three of the most common climbing injuries.  They are:

• Shoulder Impingement

• Rotator Cuff Strain

• Neck Strain

Each video takes you through a step-by-step injury prevention and rehabilitation protocol based on the location of your pain or soreness.

• Identify where it hurts
• Access the videos on your smartphone, tablet, or computer
• Unload, mobilize and strengthen
• Improve your climbing technique
• Prevent injury recurrence

You can purchase the videos for $10 each or get all three for just $25 dollars.  Considering the demand we place on our bodies, this is an extremely small investment in your climbing longevity.  Check out the videos yourself by clicking through below.
