Welcome to Climb Care Collective!
As a physiotherapist and a climber, I understand the challenges of explaining climbing related injuries to healthcare professionals who may not be familiar with the sport. It can be frustrating to hear you need to “just rest and take it easy” when all you want to do is get back on the wall.
That’s why I founded Climb Care Collective - it is a specialised climbing physiotherapy clinic and online educational platform designed for climbers and health care professionals working with climbers.
My mission is to make the recovery journey smoother for climbers by focusing on key aspects:
Climbing Movement: breaking down the unique challenges faced by wall athletes and the biomechanics of climbing
On the wall training modifications: we provide guidance on how to modify your training so you can continue to re-condition for climbing without aggravating your injury
Early injury awareness: early detection and proper management can prevent extended time away from your favourite sport
Active recovery: rarely ever do you need to rest completely, we will show you creative ways to remain active while recovering from an injury
I am dedicated to expanding our network of trusted health care and fitness providers who are well versed in climbing and the unique challenges of the sport. By doing so I can better assist my clients in getting back on the wall sooner with a clear plan from injury back to performance!
Meet the Founder
I’m Nadia - a climber, outdoor enthusiast and physiotherapist. Combining my passion for climbing, content creation and collaboration with like minded others I founded the Climb Care Collective to bridge the gap between physiotherapy and climbing performance.
I strongly believe in creating unique training modifications instead of resting completely and that early injury detection and understanding your injury is key in getting back on the wall sooner and returning a stronger climber post injury.
I have developed online educational resources not only for climbers but also health care professionals working with climbers, enabling us to craft tailored climbing treatment plans to get you back on the wall sooner!
Whether you are new to the sport or a seasoned climber, the Climb Care Collective is here to support you in your climbing journey!
