Common Climbing Shoulder Injuries

Impingement

Pain with overhead movements. Often from repetitive overhead pulling without balanced training.

Rotator Cuff Strain

Supraspinatus/infraspinatus overuse. Common in boulderers doing powerful moves.

Labrum/SLAP Tear

Deep joint pain, catching sensation. Often from dynamic moves or falls.

AC Joint Issues

Pain on top of the shoulder. Compression from mantling or top-outs.

📊 The Challenge

Shoulders are complex — 4 rotator cuff muscles, multiple movement planes, and climbing demands ALL of them. Generic "rest and stretch" advice doesn't cut it. You need progressive loading that matches your injury type and climbing goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have a SLAP tear — should I use Basalt or see a surgeon?

See an orthopedic specialist first. SLAP tears range from conservative management to surgical repair. Basalt helps with the rehab phase — whether pre-surgery prehab or post-surgery return-to-climbing. It doesn't replace diagnosis.

My shoulder only hurts on dynos and gastons. Can Basalt help?

Absolutely. Movement-specific pain patterns are exactly what Basalt tracks. You'll log which movements trigger pain, and the AI helps you build capacity for those specific demands progressively.

How long until I'm back to projecting?

It depends on the injury. Impingement/mild strains: 4-8 weeks to return. Rotator cuff tears: 3-6 months. SLAP repairs: 6-9 months. Basalt gives you realistic timelines and prevents premature return.
