Wellness Wednesday Line Up:

• Core Training For Climbers Workshop (7-8 pm) with Emily Noe, PT
  • Would you like to learn more about the "core" and how it can tie into your climbing? Come join Emily Noe, Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in treating rock climbers, to learn how to assess your core, adjust how you activate it, and incorporate new exercises into your warm-up and training routines. During this hour-long workshop, we will discuss anatomical insights about the core, learn what faults we each may have, and how to improve them. You'll leave with a better understanding of core stability and with some new exercises to work on.
  • Want to chat with Emily? She will also be available after the workshop to hang and answer questions. With a private practice in Oakland & working out of Benchmark Climbing Gym in Berkeley, Emily has extensive experience treating all types of injuries from fingers to toes in both novice and professional climbers. In her free time, you'll find her outside climbing or inside with her nose in a good book.
