Books-sidebar-OMTM by Drs. Volker Schöffl & Thomas Hochholzer

For sure, rock climbing is a relatively safe sport—like we all tell our moms, it’s safer than driving a car!—yet at the same time climbing is a stressful activity, especially on our fingers, elbows, and shoulders. It’s hard to find an avid climber who has not suffered at least one minor injury, and subtle muscle pain and joint aches are part of many climbers’ lives. If you train rigorously, project V-hard boulders, or push your limit on roped routes, then your risk of injury increases further yet. If you, too, have made one move too many, esteemed German sports medicine doctors Volker Schöffl & Thomas Hochholzer have the answers you need to get healed up and back on the rock as fast as possible. From sore elbows and shoulders to a complete finger pulley rupture (and much more), One Move Too Many is the definitive text on treating and preventing injury—it’s a must-own reference for weekend warriors, pro climbers, coaches & trainers, and any medical professional who treats injured climbers.
