A smart rehab week follows predictable loading rules: low-intensity isometrics, controlled eccentrics, and gradual progression with clear criteria. This guide shows climbers exactly how to structure weekly rehab so tendons remodel safely without losing strength.
Load management is the most effective way to prevent climbing injuries. Learn how intensity, volume, frequency and recovery interact, and how to structure climbing weeks so tendons adapt instead of breaking down.
Ankle sprains in climbers are usually caused by poor landing mechanics and sideways torque during bouldering falls. Learn how ankle injuries develop, what symptoms matter, and how to rehab safely—plus the landing technique that prevents future sprains.
Knee pain in climbers usually comes from rotational torque during dropknees, high-steps and Egyptian moves. Learn how knee mechanics actually work, what symptoms indicate MCL or meniscus overload, and how to rehab and prevent knee injuries with proper hip rotation and progressive loading.
Front-of-shoulder pain in climbers often comes from irritation of the long head of the biceps tendon. Learn how this tendon is overloaded during climbing, how to identify specific symptoms, and how to rehab safely with scapular control, rotator cuff strengthening, and progressive loading.
Wrist pain in climbers is usually caused by poor wrist alignment on slopers, sidepulls and dynamic moves. Learn how tendon irritation develops, what symptoms to look for, and how to fix it with proper technique, isometrics, eccentrics, and wrist stability training.
Rotator cuff weakness and shoulder instability cause clicking, weakness and poor control in overhead or sideways pulling. This guide explains how instability develops in climbers, how to identify its symptoms, and how to rebuild stable shoulder mechanics with precise loading.
Shoulder impingement in climbers is caused by poor scapular mechanics, internal rotation during pulling, and unstable overhead positions. Learn how to identify impingement symptoms, fix the technique errors that trigger it, and rehab safely with structured loading.
