Rock Climbing
Climbers are famously passionate about their sport. Often, to the detriment of their own bodies. Overuse injuries, overtraining, over-stoked, climbers have a tendency to push beyond the point where they should have stopped.
If you have started to notice some of the following, come in and get assessed before it has a chance to develope into a larger problem.
-
Pain in the joints of the fingers
-
Muscular pain that lasts longer than 24 hours
-
Sudden, shooting pain anywhere in the fingers
-
Swelling of the finger joints that lasts beyond your climbing session
-
Inability to fully close your hand, particularly if this lasts beyond the climbing session
-
Acheing around the elbow or shoulders that persists after climbing
-
Persistent weakness of the arms, or fingers, after climbing
