Don't let pain keep you from getting after it

Climbing uses everything—fingers, shoulders, elbows, and a bit of your soul. We see you. We’re climbers too. We share the same passion, tweaky fingers, and a difficulty dialing anything down.

Get back to climbing with confidence. Send your recovery.

Get back to climbing

From the gumbies

to the Adam Ondra's of the world -

and everyone in-between.

If the second thing you say when meeting someone is "...I'm a climber" — we get it. We know that HOW you move is who you are.

Whether you're crushing system boards, falling off your project… again, or 10 feet above your last not-so-bomber placement, it's important to keep your body solid. Because being injured costs too much — your friends, your psych, and most of your topics of conversation. If you love on your body as much as hard as you train, you'll be able to send into old age.

Work with us to keep moving — today and everyday. Even rest days!

"Highest recommendation possible for Evan Ingerson.
I had a rock climbing injury that affected tendons in both of my arms. I stopped climbing hoping that rest would heal my arms. After 8 months of rest the pain continued to get worse to the point that it was nearly too painful to pick up my 3 year old daughter. I'm so glad I saw Evan. After about three months I had regained my strength and the pain was nearly gone. After another month, one arm is totally pain free and the other is nearly there too.
Evan was easy to work with, great communication and adapted the exercises to equipment I had access to. Even though it was an hour drive each way to see him, I would absolutely do it again. It’s been life changing and I tell everyone that might have any sort of rock climbing injury about Evan."

"I was unsure of who to turn to since climbing injuries tend to be difficult for typical PTs. Fortunately my coach recommended Dr. Evan Ingerson. Evan was able to diagnose and treat a strained flexor in my ring finger via web appointments. The movement progressions ramped up at a rate that enabled me to ease back into climbing stronger than before my injury.
10/10 would recommend esp for climbing-specific injuries!"

"I am a big rock climber and my shoulder started to hurt while just lifting my arm so I took a break from climbing and got an MRI where I found that I had a slap tear. Surgery did not sound like an option I wanted to consider so I decided to go see Evan to give PT a try. I chose to see Evan because he is a climber himself so I trusted the exercises he gave me could get me back to climbing.
He gave me a great return to climbing plan and several exercises to do at home and progressed/changed the exercises over the five visits I had with him. They use an app for the exercises so you can see videos and explanations at home which was great. After about 10 weeks of PT exercises and following the climbing plan I was back to climbing how I used to!
Great experience, I recommend seeing Evan for climbing injuries!"

"I found Dr. Evan Ingerson after posting on a rock climbing forum for people's recommendations for a PT that understands climbing injuries and the need to get back climbing ASAP. Several people recommended Evan and I'm really grateful they did. Evan is incredibly detail oriented and attentive. He spent time arriving at his own diagnosis (which coincided 100% with that of the surgeon I went to see at Vail Sports Medicine - a surprising diagnosis given the pain), then he set out clear guidelines for rehab, recovery and climbing in the interim.
I did the exercises he recommended, slowly built up by a grade a week and had a really good trip to Maple and North Wales after several months of injury. The recovery was very measured and controlled, I always knew what the plan was, and Evan was very positive and encouraging. I can't speak highly enough of him.
I had five PT treatments and quick email responses to any questions. All in all it was the fastest, and most comprehensive injury recovery that I've been through and Evan is now my recommended PT for climbing or shoulder injuries."
