UN-SPRAINED
EPISODE 4:
THE BIRD
GIVING THE MIDDLE FINGER
A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION
1
Yay! You want to know a little more about your middle finger. And its needs.
Welcome to my new podcast Un-Sprained where I answer YOUR questions. This 4th release hits a topic a little unexpected. The BIRD!
​
Just a heads up, this is an otherwise clean podcast on injuries, training for climbing and returning to climbing following disaster.
Join my clients, athletes and others just like you to discover why you are always injured and what you can learn to keep from repeating the cycle. I coach COACHES themselves, pro climbers (like past athletes Angie Payne, David Graham and Daniel Woods) and I LOVE helping you to climb injury free.
​
This Episode:
Wonder why your middle finger is more prone to injuries? Wonder how to rehab it for maximal stability and strength?
Today's episode of Un-Sprained is just for you!
​
We discuss my favorite new hand specific therapy tool that is actually affordable AND portable! We delve into ultrasound of the middle finger and its friends, and we give YOU a reason to give a sigh of relief, with something you haven't tried yet to manage or recover from that injury. Have a great day at the crag!

Upcoming WorkShop Alert!
As requested, I have ANOTHER workshop coming up in late December. Don't worry, it will be pre-recorded so ANYONE in any time zone can watch/join at their convenience.
More details will be coming soon!
Prepare for my upcoming finger stability workshop by pre-ordering the hand web. Hand therapists swear by this thing. Forget everything great that you've heard about hang-boarding or even moon boarding, this beats them right out! With practice, fingers once weak and floppy will become controlled and smooth. From this base we THEN build specific strength, but for those injured, or returning to climbing from injury, we start wit this tool.
Recommendation: Start with the lightest resistance you think you will need.
