Common sport climbing injuries - and how to prevent them!
In this presentation, Nani will discuss the most common injuries in climbing including why and how they occur, as well as a snapshot look at treatment, and finally injury prevention and some self-screening techniques to keep healthy and fit while climbing strong.
Bio:
Nani grew up in the Bow Valley and is a climber, mountain biker, and skier. As a coach and former member of the Youth National Climbing Team, she has both seen and personally experienced many injuries. This fuelled her desire to learn more, and she went on to complete a Bachelor of Kinesiology majoring in Athletic Therapy, as well as a Master of Science with an Internal Olympic Committee-sanctioned research centre at the University of Calgary. There she has the opportunity to research youth and adult climbing injury, prior to continuing on to a Masters of Physical Therapy at the University of Alberta.
Nani's belief if that guiding post-injury rehabilitation is only part of what physiotherapy can provide. Rather than simply being reactive, preventing injury should also be a focus. Improving whole body mechanics, and working to strengthen and decrease imbalances will optimize both general health as well as high performance in any sport or level.
