Hi Beth, Hope you recover quickly! I read on your Sportiva post about South Africa that you'd been told you've been climbing using the "wrong" muscles - "using my small shoulder muscles to move upward instead of my large back muscles" ... I'm guessing a physio told you that? Would it be possible for me to get some contact info on the place/person you're working with? I have some shoulder & back issues and I'd like to get some assessments done by the right folks who are familiar with climbers. Don't know if you'll see this question, but thought it worth a shot to ask. Again, best wishes on your recovery and future climbing! Calvin
