Advanced Climbing Injury Assessment

An advanced medical injury evaluation developed for climbers and performed by both Dr. Jared Vagy and Dr. Frank Charlton at the same time! You will learn the reasons why you are injured and what is holding you back from achieving your true climbing potential. Your posture, muscle strength, flexibility and climbing technique are all assessed to give you a blueprint of your body identifying asymmetries and you will be set up with a plan to treat your injury.
