Specializing in climber rehabilitation and self treatment education

Grassroots is the premier resource center for climbing specific physical therapy and self treatment for climbing injuries. We are proud to specialize in physical therapy for climbers, and offer climber specific rehabilitation education developed over the last decade with success in Utah, Wyoming and worldwide.

As a long-time part of the climbing community, we understand the unique physical demands of the sport and how to treat and prevent common climbing related injuries. Esther Smith has been honing her treatment skills for years, helping hundreds of climbers including professional athletes like Brittany Griffith, Babsi Zangerl and Sam Elias to stay in the game. It is through this experience that we have developed the most relevant and effective climber specific rehab treatment to offer our climbing community.

Climbers may want to work directly with Esther Smith through Virtual Physical Therapy, a Remote Athlete Consultation, or training with her through the Samsara Athlete Team.

Also for those looking for high-quality resources to learn on their own, we’ve shared select climber-specific resources below.
