The Climbing Injury Podcast
Hi, and welcome to the climbing injury podcast, hosted by Stian Christophersen and James Walker. As our sport grows, so do the injury rates, and our hope is that through sharing of knowledge and experience we can understand climbing injuries better, treat them better and hopefully prevent some of them from ever happening.
As we’re both physiotherapists talking about injuries and injury prevention, this podcast will be aimed at healthcare professionals working with climbers, but hopefully there will be something here for all climbers curious about climbing injuries and injury prevention.

The Climbing Injury Podcast
EP 1: World Premiere and Pulley Injuries pt 1
Welcome to the world premiere of the Climbing Injury Podcast.
In this episode we want to present ourselves and what this podcast is all about. We chat about how and why we started talking to begin with, Stian’s recent trip to Sheffield with Magnus Midtbø and Adam Ondra before we get our geek on and discuss pulley injuries. This episode is dedicated to what pulleys are, injury classification and diagnosing pulley injuries. The follow-up will then obviously be about rehabilitation.
