Ep 2: Pulley Rehab and Patient Perspectives with Tom Randall and Molly Thompson-Smith

The Climbing Injury Podcast

In this episode we deep dive into how to rehabilitate pulley injuries.
Since Stian managed to rupture his A4 pulley whilst bouldering in Fontainebleau, you'll get a real time insight into his rehabilitation process while we discuss the different approaches and concepts to best handle these injuries. Should we immobilize or load early? Should we climb or not? Which are the different ways of loading in a controlled way?
We're also joined by pro climbers Tom Randall and Molly Thompson-Smith, and we discuss their unique experiences dealing with pulley injuries.
