Gastons l Rebuilding Strength & Confidence 💪🧗♂️
Gastons can be one of the most demanding shoulder positions in climbing—especially if you’ve had a previous shoulder injury 😬
It’s not uncommon to feel hesitant or apprehensive when loading this position again 🧠
In the clinic, we take a gradual, structured approach to help climbers rebuild strength, control, and confidence in these movements. 🏗️
Here are a few of the common strategies we use in the clinic (see reel 🎥)
Key Tips ⤵️
👉 Trust the rehab and general strength training process—it’s what creates the adaptations needed to support this position long-term 🔁
👉 Once that foundation is in place, graded exposure and part-practice can help rebuild confidence in the movement and prepare you to gaston again on the wall 💥
You can get back to gastons. We’re here to help make that happen! 🙌
