Built for Mountain Athletes and Climbers
Rock, Ice, Alpine, and Mountaineering athletes place unique demands on the body- from finger pulley injuries, elbow pain, and shoulder overload, pack stress, and descent-related knee stress.
General PT often fails to address the true driver which has different aspects from one person to another. This is where personalized programs stand out.
At Beta for Your Body, I combine evidence-based rehabilitation with climbing specific performance principles. Whether you're managing an injury or building durability before a major objective, the focus in the same:
Build capacity. Reduce breakdown. Honor recovery and tissue healing and climb your best for years to come.
As both a physical therapy and a mountain athlete, I understand the demands of long approaches, heavy pack, steep descents, and high -volume pulling. Every plan is designed around your sport- not a generic template.
Let me help you develop a strategy that supports your next season, your next project, or your next summit.
Mountain Athletes and Climbers Who Have no plans to Retire
If your goal is to climb for decades- not just this season- your training needs to build capacity to avoid breakdown.
At Beta for Your Body, the focus is load tolerance, tissue capacity, and long term durability. From fingers and elbows to shoulders, spine, hips, and knees, climbing places specific demands on the body that generic programs don't address.
Whether you're managing recurring irritation or preparing for a big objective, the goal is simple:
Build capacity. Prevent Breakdown. Stay on the wall or in the mountains.
Where Mountain Athletes Commonly Break Down
Finger and Elbow Overload
Shoulder & Overhead Irritations
Pack & load carrying stress
Trunk mobility and lumbar stability limitations
High step and long reach hip pain
Lower limb pain on the ascent and descent
Ankle weakness and foot and toe pain
Post surgery and not sure how navigate training back to your peak
How We Build Durable Climbers
Climbing doesn't break people down randomly. Tissue breaks down and never fully repairs when demand outpaces tissue capacity. Or weakness, mobility issues, movement patterns create excessive strain on tissue or joints.
At Beta for Your Body, durability is built intentionally. Every plan is structured around progressive loading, tendon capacity, and movement control specific to climbing and mountain objects.
We focus on:
-
Progressive tendon loading for fingers and elbows
-
Shoulder strength and scapular control in with overhead demand
-
Trunk endurance for pack carry and strenuous moves
-
Hip mobility and strength for high steps and long reaches
-
Eccentric tolerance for steep descents
-
Structured return-to-climb progressions for your climbing goals (gym, alpine, high altitude, multi pitch)
Building Tissue Builds Performance
Why General PT often Misses Mountain Athletes
Most rehab and training programs are designed for a general rehab or fitness. Climbing is not a one size fits all training plan. Climbing demands high finger force, sustained overhead pulling, eccentric control on the decent, repeated loading under conditions of fatigue. Without sport-specific load progression, athlete often return to climbing underprepared- and symptoms return.
At beta for your Body, progression is built around demands of the sport- not a template.

-
You are seeking longevity in your sport
-
You have tired self rehab/U-Tube/traditional PT and its not working
-
You are still looking to bridge the gap between insurance based PT and getting back to your sport
