Shoulder injuries sideline climbers for months — but only if recovery is unstructured. Basalt gives you daily AI coaching to get back on the wall safely.

Open Telegram, type /start.This page gives general educational information about common climbing-related injury patterns and return-to-training principles. It does not confirm what injury you have, does not diagnose severity, and is not a substitute for medical assessment or treatment.
Red flags: Stop and seek qualified medical care urgently if symptoms are severe, worsening, recurrent, include numbness, instability, major weakness, visible deformity, suspected fracture or tear, or major swelling after trauma.
Pain with overhead movements. Often from repetitive overhead pulling without balanced training.
Supraspinatus/infraspinatus overuse. Common in boulderers doing powerful moves.
Deep joint pain, catching sensation. Often from dynamic moves or falls.
Pain on top of the shoulder. Compression from mantling or top-outs.
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.
Describe your shoulder injury, pain levels, and current climbing ability. Basalt determines your recovery phase.
Quick check-ins: pain, mobility, what you did. The AI monitors your trajectory.
Exercises progress as you improve. Shoulder-specific: external rotation, scapular control, overhead capacity.
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.
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.
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.
