The Self Rehabbed Climber - Andrew McVittie

This book provides an up-to-date, easy-to-understand, and flexible framework for self-rehabilitation of some of the most common climbing injuries. You will be lead through all stages of rehab, and with excellent descriptions and photos, this book will guide you to manage your own rehabilitation. It will help you listen to your body, translate what it is telling you, and adapt your own treatment. Each injury is broken down into stages, with guidance given on where your treatment entry point is, how to know you’re ready to progress tot the next stage, how to continue to climb with the injury, and what likely caused it in the first place.

This is the first book to provide a return-to-sport protocol and to give you the ability to truly understand and manage your own rehab. You will be more knowledgable and capable than before your injury. This will protect you against the original cause of the injury so you can push to a new level. The sport science principles learned can be taken forward and used in your training and to prevent any new, future injuries.
