Movement-Based Care for Stubborn Aches and Pains

Whether you’re a climber, hiker, desk warrior, or just trying to feel human again, we help you move with less pain and more purpose.

We all push through discomfort—but when does it become a real problem?

You know the feeling—you tweak something, shake it out, keep living life, and hope it feels better tomorrow. Sometimes it does. But sometimes that ‘little tweak’ turns into months or years of frustration.

Life is about adaptation. Recovering from injury and stubborn pain is too. Whether you’re dealing with a lingering strain, nagging shoulder pain, or chronic stiffness, the solution isn’t just rest and hope. It’s purposeful adaptation—modifying, moving, and building resilience without putting your life on hold.

Coming back from an injury, Adapt put me on a program that got me stronger physically and mentally than I was before the injury. I was back on track to hit all my goals for the year.

We all push through discomfort—but when does it become a real problem?

Living with chronic pain doesn't mean your active life has to end. Whether you're a climber navigating persistent shoulder pain, or someone just trying to move without fear of flare-ups, we specialize in helping people rebuild trust in their bodies through movement—not avoidance. We believe in a whole-person approach to chronic pain, grounded in science, compassion, and adaptability.

This approach works for:

  • Climbers managing finger, elbow, or shoulder pain

  • Folks with chronic low back pain or pelvic pain

  • People with fibromyalgia or hypermobility

  • Folks feeling scared, stuck, or unsure how to move again

  • Athletes and non-athletes with flare-up-prone bodies

Helping you return to the life you love—on your terms

Coming back from injury or persistent pain recovery shouldn’t mean sitting out for months, losing strength, and feeling disconnected from the community you love. Our approach helps you stay engaged, keep moving, and come back stronger.

Modify, Don’t Stop.

Chronic pain doesn’t mean you have to stop climbing. In fact, staying active—strategically—can be part of the solution. We help you adjust your climbing volume, explore movement patterns that work for you, and use graded exposure to build confidence and capacity without flaring symptoms.

The Whole Picture Matters.

Chronic pain is complex—it’s rarely just about tissue damage. Training load, movement habits, stress, sleep, and recovery capacity all influence how you feel. That’s why we take a big-picture approach to create a plan that fits your life and your goals.

Built for Long-Term Resilience.

Living with chronic pain can feel like a constant cycle of flare-ups and frustration. Our goal is to break that cycle by building your strength, adaptability, and trust in your body. We help you develop the confidence to climb and live life without fear of every twinge, so you can stay on the wall and get back to what you care about.

If you’re ready to take control of chronic pain, keep climbing and training, and build long-term resilience, we’d love to help.

"I started working with Zach after taking a tumble off the bouldering wall in 2023 and completely dislocated my forearm from my upper arm at the elbow. He came highly recommended by climbing gym and I can totally understand why. He's very knowledgeable but more importantly he listens and adjusts plans as needed. Not to mention I have never met a more encouraging and supportive individual. I have full motion and use of my arms thanks to him and his dynamic planning! He is the go to guy for aches, pains, stiffness, and basically all your physical therapy needs!"

We're based in a climbing gym, but you don't have to be a climber to get the care you need.

We've worked with loads of folks with new, old, and long-lasting conditions. Over the years, we've learned:

Pain doesn't mean you're broken.
You don’t have to quit what you love. In fact, strategic movement—like modifying volume, intensity, or position—is often part of the solution.

Chronic pain is more than a tissue issue.

It’s influenced by your training load, nervous system sensitivity, sleep, stress, recovery, and more. That’s why our approach goes beyond the muscles and joints.

You're not fragile.

The cycle of flaring, resting, and restarting can be exhausting. Our goal is to help you break that cycle by building strength, trust, and adaptability—so you can return to the things you care about without constantly second-guessing your body.
