A Hybrid Climbing Physio Clinic
When you need a plan to help get you back on the wall after injury
Supporting climbers to reach their training goals through a hybrid model of care (in-person & online services)
Welcome to Climb Care Collective - where a passion for all things climbing and outdoors meets expert physio care!
Conveniently located on-site at Boulder Lab Clayton, my clinic is fully equipped to handle every aspect of your climbing injury from start to finish. Whether you’re dealing with an ongoing finger niggle or tweaked your shoulder after multiple attempts on the same dyno move I’ve got you covered.
I complete a comprehensive assessment on and off the wall to help identify where to begin in the rehab process. Over the first few sessions we will create a climbing treatment plan for you to work through with objective milestones you need to progress through each stage. The work is not finished when the pain settles down as all to often I see climbers returning back to working on their project the moment their pain is gone to only re-injure.
This service is not for you if you are after a quick fix and are not willing to put in the work and make some changes to your on and off the wall training. I will take you through my 4 stage model (see below!) of care to help you reach your climbing goals with support along the way between your physiotherapy sessions.
Stage 1: Settling Down the Symptoms & Training Around Injury
Stage 2: Movement Control & Addressing Contributing Factors
Stage 3: Reconditioning for Climbing & Building a Foundation of Strength
Stage 4: Power & Chaos - Getting back to uncontrolled falls and getting strong in the position you got injured in!
Climbing Physio Assessment & Treatment Plan
A comprehensive movement analysis beyond the physio room that takes you on the wall and into the weights gym. Together we will create an individualised exercise program and climbing plan tailored to your climbing goals.
I provide ongoing support for my clients in between sessions with regular check-ins throughout the rehab process.
I have a hybrid clinic where I deliver my climbing physiotherapy services both in person and on-line for my clients.
Climb Strong™ Assessment
If you’re a climber without any current injuries, I’ve got something exciting for you. This is a comprehensive whole-body assessment to take your climbing training to the next level!
The Climb Strong™ assessment is designed to evaluate your current capabilities, identify areas of strength and areas that need some extra attention.
With a detailed report of key findings you will have valuable insights to plan your climbing training effectively.
Virtual Physio Appointments
Online appointments are an integral part of my climbing physio services, offering real-time problem solving of your injury and creation of an individualised exercise program no matter your location! It’s perfect for busy periods at work, climbing trips or when you live far away from the clinic.
Benefits of online physio services include:
Evaluating climbing movement and technique on your home board or fingerboard.
Ongoing support and regular check-ins with a physiotherapist between in-person appointments
Referrals to other healthcare services or imaging, if needed
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!
