Why This Protocol?
Climbing places significant demands on the shoulders through repeated pulling, reaching and overhead movements.
Over time, these demands can contribute to reduced mobility, muscular imbalances, shoulder discomfort and an increased risk of overuse injuries.
The Shoulder Injury Prevention Protocol provides a simple, structured system to help improve shoulder mobility, enhance stability and support long-term shoulder health.
Developed from both coaching experience and work with elite climbers, this protocol can be completed in just 20–30 minutes using minimal equipment.
Whether you are a sport climber, boulderer, competition climber or mountaineer, this routine can help you build stronger, healthier and more resilient shoulders for long-term climbing performance.
