Heal · Climbing
Climbing-injury PT in Boulder — treated where you train.
Boulder climbs hard, and climbing bodies break in specific ways. The resident Doctor of Physical Therapy at ONE Boulder Fitness (Atomic PT) treats finger pulley strains, climber’s elbow and shoulder issues — on-site at 1800 Broadway, with a gym floor and recovery suite in the same building to rebuild on.
What we treat
The injuries climbers actually get.
- Finger pulley strains and tweaks (A2/A4)
- Medial elbow pain — “climber’s elbow”
- Shoulder impingement and rotator-cuff issues
- Return-to-climbing planning after a layoff
Hand & finger assessment
How care works
Assess, treat, return to the wall.
TREAT
Hands-on + loading
Manual therapy, dry needling where useful, and progressive tendon loading.
RETURN
Back to climbing
A staged return-to-climb plan so the tweak doesn’t come back.
Your PT can build your rehab loading right on the gym floor next door and hand you off to a trainer when you’re ready — care that continues instead of ending at the clinic door.
Common questions
Answered.
Do I need a referral to see a PT for a climbing injury?
In Colorado you can usually be seen without a physician referral; insurance rules vary and we’ll help you check.
Do you treat finger pulley injuries?
Yes — pulley strains are among the most common climbing injuries we see, along with climber’s elbow and shoulder issues.
Do I have to be a gym member?
No. The resident PT sees climbers who aren’t members.
