Therapeutic Climbing
Used with patients suffering from chronic lower back pain, musculoskeletal disorders or eating disorders, therapeutic climbing allows you to work on sensory perceptions . Even before climbing, putting on a harness and adapting it to your size is already a way to reclaim your bodily limits . It highlights the idea of surpassing yourself, of competing with yourself. It allows you to obtain an almost immediate result. The reward can be to manage to climb to the top of the wall while respecting the instructions given by the physiotherapist.
About Therapeutic Escalation
This project aims to give people experiencing physical and/or mental difficulties the opportunity to flourish and evolve in this complete sport of climbing, in a climate of trust while being accompanied by professionals.
We know how good climbing is for our body (coordination, balance, strength) but not only that. It is also for the spirit and the personal balance. It allows you to give self-confidence, to free the mind and to feel good in your body.
Climbing was very popular from the 1950s, but it was in the 1980s and 1990s that climbing made its appearance in the field of rehabilitation. In Switzerland therapeutic climbing is still too underdeveloped and we are more than convinced of its benefits.
