About Joël
Hey! I’m Joël, a Physiotherapist BSc. and Sports Physiotherapist ESP in training in Thun, Switzerland, where I specialize in climbing injury rehab and prevention. I help you understand your body, injury, and training to recover efficiently and to prevent re-injuries. I work with climbers all along the performance spectrum. From the very elite to recreational climbers.
I approach rehab as an elite sport itself. For success, you and I must work together closely for the best results. I aim to motivate, educate, and stimulate you to learn about your injury and the most efficient way to get fit and stay fit.
