How much should you load your body after injury? Should you climb? Lift some weights? stretch? Rest completely?

Too much and the injury will not heal, too little and you are likely to re-injure yourself on return to sport.

Unless you have an injury that requires a period of total rest eg. a fracture, loading is important and should happen quite soon after injury. However, loading doesn't always mean lifting weights. It depends on your stage of healing, how strong you are, and how much pain you are in. Initially, it could mean for example, moving a joint through full range, stretching or doing some assisted movements.

Pete of .coaching injured his finger/forearm tendon a while back. He continued to climb and actually found that certain styles of climbing didn’t aggravate the injury. But several weeks on, he was still getting some pain, so he came for a consultation.

When we tested the injured finger in isolation in the painful position (drag) we found that he had a 61% strength difference between injured and non injured sides of his body. We used this information to target his rehab more effectively.

Ideally for climbers we want to be fairly equal left to right, or at least within 10%. Addressing this weakness for Pete now is really important for preventing re-Injury further down the line. Currently this test is telling us that pulling hard in the drag position (or firing off holds in the drag) is likely to cause further injury. Strength testing at regular intervals will help to guide his return to hard bouldering.
