This has been my first experience using a physio and I would absolutely recommend the Sheffield Climbing Clinic to anyone with a climbing related injury. Jayden has been amazing with me. He took the time to get to know me and properly assess my injury. Upon diagnosis he developed a rehab programme for me that has being incredibly valuable in terms of reducing pain, and increasing strength and mobility. I've has three sessions in 6 weeks and have made solid progress working towards my goals. Jayden has updated my programme after each appointment introducing new exercises and encouraging me to increase the load. Jayden has been really helpful and supportive and has been on hand to answer any questions I've had in between appointments. In such a short time I'm now feeling a lot stronger.
I've seen Jayden twice to address my ruptured pulley. He is knowledgeable both in terms of injury management/rehabilitation, but also the mental challenges that arise from being injured. He offered good advice, suggested evidence-based protocols, and prepared a strength training plan to keep me fit while being off the climbing wall. I also appreciated his honest opinion on the potential benefit of having the finger imaged to ease my anxious mind (which I got done on an appointment with James - also helpful and knowledgeable). Can definitely recommend, after 15 weeks I'm almost fully back to where I was before the injury (and have some extra muscles from the added strength training ;).
I’m a 50 year old climber. I got in contact with the Sheffield Climbing clinic following shoulder and bicep tendon surgery. I have been having remote consultations with Jayden Bennet who has been amazing. His knowledge and advice has been so helpful and the recovery programmes have been precise and progressive allowing me to get back to climbing gently after 4 months. I can’t recommend him enough!
I've been seeing Jayden at SCC for help with my back pain after being hit by a car. It was quite a tough injury to work through, emotionally and physically, and Jayden has been really helpful and thorough with all elements of recovery. He was able to diagnose quickly and set good rehab exercises while modifying to suit my schedule, needs, and ability. I was climbing again much faster than expected thanks to Jayden. He is also queer friendly!! And creates a very comfortable environment. Thanks :)
Used SCC a couple of times now, Jayden is great - quickly diagnoses a problem and gives clear actionable steps of how to rehab and integrate this recovery into your climbing routine. Recommended :)
My teenage son has recently been visiting Jayden at the Sheffield Climbing Clinic re a shoulder injury. Jayden is really personable and a climber himself and he quickly diagnosed the issue and set some great rehab exercises to help. Three weeks in and the pain is gone and the climbing / strength is improving. Highly recommend for anyone with a climbing injury! Thanks 😊
I’ve seen James at the Sheffield Climbing Clinic a few times now, and each visit has been excellent. His care and methodical approach always result in what feels like a genuinely tailored plan to help my injuries recover efficiently, effectively, and with a clear focus on getting me back to climbing at my best. His in-depth knowledge and experience within the climbing community really show. I’d highly recommend James to anyone — climber or not — but if you do climb, it’s a no-brainer.
If you are a climber and have suffered an injury, then Sheffield Climbing Clinic, and especially physiotherapist James, are your best option. I thought my finger was a hopeless case, but after a few visits and regular exercises recommended by James, within 5 months I had the best climbing trip of my life. I definitely recommend them.
I've had a great experience with Jayden Bennet as my practitioner. He quickly identified what type of injury I was suffering from and clearly explained what was wrong, what had caused it and how to go about fixing it. He provided a structured approach to rehabilitation which was built on as I progressed. I've made very clear progression since starting with Jayden and my fingers are now feeling great!
Went to see Jayden regarding what I now know to be capsulitis in my finger. At first I felt a bit silly going with a “poorly finger” but after leaving the first session I was so glad I went. Jayden is hugely knowledgeable in his field and it’s clear how passionate he is about it. He clearly explained the issue and the biology behind it, and did several tests to determine the best way forward. Over the last couple of months Jayden has put together a thorough rehab plan for me which I’ve seen no end of benefit from following. I’m in the final stages of recovery now and I know without Jayden’s expertise I wouldn’t have got to this stage at the pace I have. It’s also reassuring to know thanks to him I understand my injury better, and have been armed with the tools to manage it myself going forward. Would highly recommend a visit to him with any climbing related aches and pains. Thank you Jayden!
I had a brilliant experience with Sheff Climbing Clinic. I saw Jayden about a finger injury and he was very friendly and thorough in testing and examining the finger to diagnose the issue. He clearly explained what was wrong and what could have caused the injury and then laid out a treatment plan which I found easy to follow and understand. I have now nearly finished my recovery and found it to go quicker and easier than any injury I have had previously. I am climbing stronger than ever thanks to Jayden's help! Only issue was some minor difficulty getting in touch with him however that was quickly resolved and ultimately did not have any real consequences.
Jayden has been a very informative and helpful physio, he understands climbers and gives specific advice, instead of general rehab- super nice dude, highly recommend🙏
Really good experience here with Jayden after injuring a pulley in my finger. Really thorough rehab plan, good check ups and lots of benchmarks we use to track progress. My go to place in Sheffield for any climbing injuries.
I saw Jayden and could not recommend more highly. Thorough, clear, practical and positive. Effectively balances the return to climbing with robust recovery. Super professional and gentle. Thanks!
I am glad that I have been remotely consulting with Jayden for a nagging finger tenosynovitis over the last two months. He was extremely helpful in guiding and structuring my rehab training so that I could feel ready to crimp safely in time to enjoy my sport climbing trip this summer.
I turned to Sheffield Climbing Clinic after dealing with inflamed fingers for multiple years. Thanks to James Walker and his sound advice and his understanding of the mentality of climbers I'm well on my way to get better.
Jayden has been helping me recover from a ruptured A4 Pulley sustained through climbing. He tailored a recovery and rehab plan that started immediately after the injury (I managed to get a very prompt zoom session), through to finessing the final stages 12 weeks later. I've found the zoom sessions really easy to fit into my diary, and we've still found ways to consistently measure performance and recovery, I feel having gone through this that I will not only have a lower chance of re-occurrence of the injury but also generally stronger fingers and a better appreciation for board training outside of my climbing. Having a climbing expert help with the rehab is essential, standard physiotherapy pathways don't always cater fully for the kind of expectations I have for my grip strength and finger resilience.
Saw James for a variety of climbing injuries: elbows, fingers and even hip. Seen a variety of physios over the years and he is the first one to sort out my elbow properly (albeit maintenance work needed as with all injuries) and is always great to bounce training ideas of off!
This is my second time seeing Jayden and both experiences have been very positive! On both occasions he has given accurate diagnosis's, measured force on injured fingers to track progression and suggested helpful advice which has seen me get back to climbing better than ever over the course of a couple of months. The sessions are informative and feel very relaxed and Jayden is more than happy to respond to email queries with further questions/setbacks. Personally, for any issues I have in the future I won't hesitate to keep seeking advice from the Sheffield Climbing Clinic!
Saw Jayden for a few months of rehab on a shoulder injury incurred during climbing. Now back to previous climbing fitness and with a plan to prevent recurrence. Highly recommended.
Had Physio with Jayden. This is the fourth climbing related injury I've had over the last few years (3 x finger injuries) where I've driven over from Manchester to use this clinic. The other 3 injuries I was supported back to 100% and I've no doubt this one will be the same. Worth every penny. Helpful and insightful. Makes sure I understand my injury and the rehab process. Could not recommend highly enough.
Amazing service, quick and accurate diagnosis. Would highly recommend to all climbers and non climbers
After climbing for a year I was experiencing pain during, and long after, my sessions. I’d tried the usual things to heal it but it kept flaring up, so I went along to Sheffield Climbing Clinic and saw Jayden. After a thorough assessment he walked me through the best way to minimise the pain and inflammation in the short term, and how a longer term plan (that includes better, wider shoes - no more squashed toes!) could prevent it happening again. I now have a rehab programme to build strength in my feet, ankles, and improve my balance, and it’s already making a difference. I’m feeling hopeful that I’ll be pain free really soon. Thanks Jayden and Sheffield Climbing Clinic, I can’t recommend you enough!
I injured my A2 pulley in March this year and the week after, I went straight to the clinic to get some advice on how I should approach my recovery. I'm so happy to say that thanks to Jayden and following a gradual physio programme, I'm now almost back to the level of climbing I was at before the injury. I've only had video consultations since my first face-to-face appointment with him but they been just as effective. Jayden sets me a plan after each appointment and tells me what I should test before the next session so he can monitor my progress, which has been really reassuring. Overall great experience and would recommend Jayden to anyone suffering from a climbing injury!
Over the past year I’ve been having sessions with Jayden to manage a finger injury, and his support has been brilliant . His climbing-specific knowledge and approach have made a real difference in my long term recovery. Communication has been excellent throughout—highly recommended!
Thank you Jayden! Came here with a nasty A2 injury and it has made a quick recovery within 2 and a half months thanks to the guidance and support provided by Jayden. If you're an injured climber, this is the spot to go.
After hearing a popping noise from one of my fingers I booked an appointment with Jayden at the Sheffield climbing clinic. Jayden quickly assessed and confirmed what I thought was the case and that I had caused some degree of injury to one of my pulleys. He laid out a rehab plan and gave advice for training. Following this and it causing a change in my mindset and awareness not only is my injury healing well but Iv noticed a large improvement in my climbing. I feel noticeably stronger in my injured and my non injured hand. I have noticed this transition to climbing on the wall as well.
I'm really pleased with the advice I got from Jayden after an A2 pulley injury. He managed to help me get through my rehab as fast as possible so I was able to enjoy a pain free climbing trip that I had planned. He gave me lots of sensible advice for not only the rehab but also injury prevention in the future. I'd definitely recommend the Climbing Clinic for any climbing related injuries.
Great appointment with Jayden. Quick diagnosis and then a rehab plan that was detailed and tailored to my goals and experience.
I use Sheffield Climbing Clinic whenever I injure myself. Thanks to the great help of Jayden who is a physiotherapist over there, I was able to solve a really old recurring injury that was bothering me a lot. Thank you Jayden and big thanks to the whole staff. Your website would benefit from a bit of an upgrade though. I have to call in to book an appointment because your website will not allow me to book one. That's because whenever I try to book it as guest, it recognises my phone number and tells me I should login instead. When I try to login it does not recognise my password. When I ask to change the password, it does not send me a confirmation email.
Jayden helped me recover from a torn A2 pulley over the course of ~3 months. The whole experience was really smooth and very informative!
I have been to see Jayden twice now for two separate injuries. Each time he has been very informative giving me the tools and knowledge in order to take advantage of my recovery and manage my injuries. He is always really pleasant and approachable. Hopefully I don’t get anymore injuries but if I do… I know who I will be going back to see!
Really knowledgeable and has massively helped my tricky golfers elbow. Will be my first port of call if I injure myself climbing again.
I would highly recommend the Sheffield climbing clinic to any climber suffering from injury. I've been seeing Jayden Bennett online for the last six months due to elbow tendon issues and he has been brilliant - quick and accurate diagnosis, simple yet effective rehab plan and now helping me to develop my training as the elbow has improved - five stars! 💪
I cannot recommend James and the Sheffield climbing clinic enough. They were able to diagnose and support the rehabilitation of my A2 pulley injury effectively and swiftly, and it was clear that the sports specific knowledge and understanding of injuries they have was key to this. They were professional, supportive and encouraging, and provided a structured approach that motivated me and got me back to climbing.
Prompt, personalised, responsive and effective help with managing an unusual injury. Jayden was thorough, targeted plan to personal needs, and was accessible between appointments if needed.
I've been seeing Jayden at the Sheffield Climbing Clinic for almost 4 months now, with a severe ruptured A2 pulley. I'm normally not very good at being injured, but Jayden helped me through a thorough and realistic rehab plan. He is extremely knowledgeable and familiar with the specific injury, and was also very sensitive to my emotional and mental wellbeing. It's been great to quantitively monitor my progress and it's such a relief to be back climbing again. Thanks Jayden, will be recommending the Sheffield Climbing Clinic to all my climbing pals :)
I always use Sheffields climbing clinic for helping me rehab fingerinjurys cause it always works out for the best! Jayden is really good!
I can say that Jayden is super friendly and pragmatic. When it came to giving me a diagnosis, he asked all the right questions and easily figured out what needed to be done. Plus, just for context, before going to the climbing clinic, I had previously recieved a wrong diagnosis from a hospital. So yeah, I could argue that this speaks volumes. Overall, given the context of my injury, which isn't major, I'm very pleased with the experience.
I've gone through physio for two injuries using the climbing clinic and I can't recommend it enough! Jayden's knowledge and continued communication ensured I felt supported throughout the process and was quickly back to climbing!
The no.1 place in the country to go for rehabbing climbing injuries- the experience rehabbing my full a2 pulley rupture was fantastic. Very professional, responsive and reassuring.
Thank you Jayden for the super helpful discussions and rehab! Top service, even remotely.
I saw Jayden initially for a finger injury which had been worrying me for a while, he knew exactly what to do and guided me through the recovery - fingers still feel stronger and more healthy than they were before the injury. I went back for a rotator cuff issue that had a longer recovery time and process, however again Jayden was familiar and knowledgeable with these types of injuries and again I am climbing harder on my shoulder now than I was pre-injury. As well as the physical injury recovery process Jayden was also aware of and insightful about the emotional side dealing with frustration and set backs during the process etc. Would highly recommend for climbing injuries,
Jayden Bennett is my go-to physio for climbing injuries. He helped me recover from a pulley injury with a great rehab plan, and I've trusted him ever since. Highly recommend!
I was seeing Jayden Bennett from the Sheffield Climbing Clinic via video consultation because of a pulley injury. He was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He described the exercise he gave me in a very easy to understand way. I recovered from the injury very quickly, and came out of the rehab plan that Jayden gave me stronger than before. I was climbing my hardest outdoor boulder right after finishing rehab. I cannot thank Jayden and the Sheffield Climbing Clinic enough for their great work. If you are injured and struggling to find climbing specific physio in your area, for sure give the clinic a try, i would highly recommend them.
Not a great deal to say here, except that I chose the Sheffield Climbing Clinic to sort out my shoulder issues simply because I reckoned that a physio who climbed would have an instinctive understanding about how climbers wreck themselves in various ways and therefore (maybe) be better placed to help them to recovery !! Jayden Bennett, my climbing physio, did a brilliant job in providing me with suitable exercises and videos of the same to help me along. So, thank you Jayden !!
Jayden did an amazing job of diagnosing my elbow injury before a trip to Spain, and gave me effective rehab exercises that allowed me to make the most out of the holiday. He has subsequently helped me with other issues and I would highly recommend his services.
I've seems Jayden about 2 separate issues now, first a knee injury and then later elbow tendonitis. His guidance helped me heal both and return to climbing healthy and stronger than before. Really recommend this service
Over the years I've seen James for my shoulder, ankle, fingers, ankle again and even a sprained big toe! Almost every body part going! James's enthusiasm for physiotherapy and passion for getting people back up and running is second to none. Hopefully I won't get any more injuries but when the inevitable does happen, I'll be back at Sheffield Climbing Clinic! I've also had some great training plans from Alex who puts so much care and thought into it. An initial assessment followed up by a training plan with extremely sensible progression that feels far more personalised than other stuff out there. Really transformed my climbing and has resulted in far less injuries!
I tore my A2 in December and have been working with Jayden Bennet since then to get me back in to shape. I've really enjoyed both the physical but also mental part of my rehab and that is in large to Jayden. Everything has felt logical and consistent throughout in terms of progress benchmarks. Plenty of great advice and pointers to future prevention as well. If you need a climbing specific physio, this is defintley a great place to go.
Had an amazing experience with James, from the day after getting injured to getting back to climbing. He helped me navigate getting an MRI, surgery and all the rehab afterwards. Always felt I had the best support and advice possible!
Super happy with the rehab plan / advice from James. I'm solidly back on the road to a full recovery and I'm now climbing as hard as ever. He's also given me the confidence to push to a new level as I progress forward. Thanks James!
Jayden Bennett did a great job of sorting out my TFCC wrist injury. A structured rehab program tailored to my specific sports has developed at a well managed pace, leaving me stronger than before.
I couldn’t recommend The Sheffield Climbing Clinic highly enough. I had injured my hand climbing and had already taken some time off, but before returning I wanted some professional advice on the type of injury I had, how long recovery could be and importantly for me, the best approach to rehabilitation. I was worried about returning to climbing too soon and making the problem worse. My appointment was with Jayden, he assessed the injury quickly and explained exactly what the problem was. We discussed how it had happened, how best to work around it and how to try to avoid it in the future. Based on the type of injury he was able to give me a series of exercises tailored to improve strength and flexibility in my injured hand and generally in both hands to reduce the risk of injury in future. I’m now back climbing again and couldn’t be happier. Jayden was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable & professional. Would recommend both him and the climbing clinic to anyone with a climbing related injury.
I went to the clinic for a pretty severe pulley injury. After 2 months of monthly sessions with Jayden, and following his rehab plan, I've gone from not being able to climb at all - and struggling with a lot of day to day tasks - to being almost back to full strength, with vastly reduced pain. Every stage of the diagnosis and rehab has been very clearly explained and easy to follow, and the results have been far quicker than I was expecting. I would recommend anyone trying to recover from an injury to get back to climbing go there, without Jayden's help I probably still wouldn't be able to climb now.
I worked through a pulley injury with Jayden last year and would definitely recommend him for any physiotherapy needs. He helped me understand the injury and provided a structured rehab plan which allowed for a quick recovery. He also helped me modify my climbing through the recovery period so no extended breaks from climbing were needed. Post rehab my fingers were stronger than they were pre-injury so I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
Jayden got me back on track after an A4 pulley rupture. Clear rehab plan and helpful email summaries post sessions. Thanks again!
Excellent diagnosis and help
