TBP 300: Wrist Injury Rehab with Dr. Tyler Nelson

I asked Dr. Tyler Nelson to come back on the show to talk about wrist injuries and how to rehab them. Wrist injuries are the fourth most common injury (after fingers, elbows, and shoulders) that Tyler helps climbers with in his practice at Camp4HumanPerformance.com.

Episode Details

  • some common wrist injuries
  • how they happen
  • what aggravates them in climbing
  • what you should do about them
  • specific exercises to heal and strengthen them
  • how to continue climbing during your injury (when appropriate)
  • how to get a good diagnosis from a professional
  • my own experience with a full TFCC tear and my surgery for that
  • my husband’s wrist surgery for ulnar impaction syndrome
