What They’re Saying About Us
Quick Questions
The pattern matters. Trigger finger often clicks or locks, tendon irritation hurts with repeated gripping & pulley strain is common with climbing-specific loads.
Climbing creates high demand on finger flexor tendons & pulleys. If load is increased too fast or recovery is limited, irritation builds quickly.
Trigger finger is irritation & thickening around a tendon that can cause clicking or locking. It is treatable, especially when addressed early.
It is irritation of thumb-side tendons, often causing pain at the base of the thumb or along the thumb-side wrist during gripping, lifting & texting.
It can indicate nerve irritation or compression. If symptoms are persistent, worsening, or paired with weakness, it is important to get evaluated.
Yes. The goal is to improve motion, reduce stiffness, manage flare-ups & maintain strength and function.
Avoid gripping through sharp pain, repeated high-force crimping & long duration hangs until you have a plan for progressive loading.
We use a graded approach with controlled isometrics, movement quality, tendon loading progressions & sport-specific return steps.
Timeline depends on the diagnosis, how long it has been present & how consistently load is managed. The goal is steady progress without flare-ups.

I was the kid who was told to quit after years of sports and constant injuries, so I became the provider I never had, earning a kinesiology degree at SDSU, graduating chiropractic school summa cum laude, and doubling my clinical hours to obsessively master human movement. Olympus Sports Therapy is built on identifying the root cause, building a real progression plan, and guiding athletes from pain and setbacks back to stronger performance.
