Eric Hörst recently sat down for an interview with Sara at Send Edition climbing…to discuss dealing with finger pain, appropriate finger training, rehab, nutrition, and more!
“The health of finger tendons and pulleys is such an important part of climbing and, at some point in your climbing experience, you’ll likely start feeling soreness on your fingers or your elbow or shoulder. At that point, you’re at a crossroad – one way is down a path of injury and the other path is recovery. This mini-series was created to help you go down the path of recovery so that you can keep climbing, injury-free.” – Sara Wade
