New Climbing Bible – Managing Injuries
As climbers and boulderers we occasionally get injured and accepting this is the first stage to recovery. The next stage is to seek help, and a new book call The Climbing Bible - Managing Injuries certainly does this. It delves into injuries, how they occur, what symptoms to look out for, how to manage the rehabilitation and perhaps as importantly how to try and prevent them occurring in the first place.
This Climbing Bible – Managing Injuries is written by Stian Christophersen, an internationally renowned climber who has competed and coached at international level. He is also a practising physiotherapist with over 15 years’ experience, specialising in the treatment of climbing injuries.
The book describes the most common climbing injuries that the author frequently encounters in his clinical practice. He examines how they can be diagnosed and treated and even prevented from occurring in the first place. The book is split into 3 parts and features anatomical illustrations along with exercises and action photos.
- How to manage acute soft tissue injuries and overuse injuries.
- Detailed management, rehab and prevention information for common climbing injuries.
- An overview of pain science – What is pain really?
