San Diego Rock Climbing Training and Physical Therapy! My name Jason Hooper.

I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy and an avid rock climber. I first discovered rock climbing when I was in PT school, and it quickly became a huge part of my life. The intricacies of climbing paralleled my love of the human body's capabilities and biomechanics. Shortly into my career as a physical therapist, I began to blend these two passions, and started working with rock climbers. I found I loved working with such a great population, who wants to learn and understand their injury, and how to get back to the sport they love, and here we are today. Emile and I started Hooper's Beta for rock climbers to be able to seek medical treatment and advice from someone who can relate; from someone who is as passionate as they are about climbing, and from someone who understand the intricacies that climbing presents. My goal is to provide excellent, individualized treatments and exercise programs, in addition to advanced techniques to assist healing. I want to educate climbers on how to take care of their body and provide the tools to keep climbing, to keep getting stronger, and to keep getting out to climb rocks.

⁉️ “Why do I keep swinging off even though I’m staying tight to the wall with hips in?”

“Why does my body tension suck even though I’m doing the ‘vacuum style’?”

“Why does my feet keep coming off on overhangs even though the holds are good?”

✅ Sometimes the technique we’re taught as a beginner (hips in, stay tight, etc.) ends up working against us when we become more experienced.

‼️ Why do so many people struggle to get rid of their medial elbow pain?

Because:
👉 It isn’t always just one thing (“tendinitis”)
👉 They don’t know where to start
👉 They don’t address ALL the causes

🔬 In fact, I even helped write a paper about the common misdiagnosis of medial elbow pain (PMID: 39514725).

It doesn’t have to be this way. You CAN defeat medial elbow pain with a little education and a smart approach.

🙋‍♂️To help with that, we put a full comprehensive protocol into a YouTube video that will give you all the tools you need to recover.

👀 Search “Hooper’s Beta Medial Elbow Pain” on YouTube or use the link in our bio/story.

If you want a more guided approach, we also made an affordable, complete elbow recovery program in a mobile app: hoopersbeta.com/RecoveryBlueprint
