Rehabbing Injured Fingers | Finger Rehab for Climbing

REHABBING AN INJURED FINGER?

Injuries do happen, unfortunately...! In this video, we have Coach and Climber Maddy doing a reflective look back on her recent rehab strategy for a painful finger.

Maddy had suffered a tweak in her index finger, so we thought it would be the perfect time to share her approach to how she's dealt with this setback and what methods she's used to getting fully back on track.

STEP ONE: Maddy makes an assessment of where she's at (what hurts, what pain levels are and what aggravates it)

STEP TWO: She puts in an immediate action plan. A rest week to find a baseline!

STEP THREE: In the following week there's an action plan for loading on the injured side (as well as the uninjured side) - but it's very carefully moderated! Lifting devices are especially convenient and efficient for this.

STEP FOUR: Testing the intensity again. Maddy then starts to assess the ongoing progress in rehab on both the climbing wall AND the fingerboard.

STEP FIVE: As her rehab progresses, the intensity very slowly increases and still a variety of grip positions are explored in these sessions. Remember, that rehab is a constant process of feedback and iteration of training load!

LAST STEP: Maddy integrates the harder fingerboarding into the de-load week and if successful, then the next cycle will then include the normal structure of more intense climbing AND fingerboarding in combination.
