TonySport encore et toujours précurseur
















L'escalade pieds nus !!
Mais c'est bien sûr TonySport LE précurseur du revival de ce que l'on appelle dans les milieux autorisés (Annot, Bleau) le Bare Foot Climbing.

Après les B4 pieds nus (cotés BF7) de TonySport à Annot, le record est battu avec du 8b falaise !! Mais Tony va réagir, j'en suis sûr ...

A voir sur :
(en plus la musique est pas mal top)

Big Top

This week end we have been very brave, because we went to the Blue Mountains and faced the cold winter. Temperature in the Bluies is usually 5 to 10 degrees less than in Sydney. This time we came with beanie and gloves.

I made up a short film with Franck climbing a 19ish route (6a) and Nico at the belay. Great climb on an amazing wall. The crag is called Big Top and is located at 15 min by car from Blackheath. The only indication we had to find the track was a little stone off the road representing Australia.

Golfer's Elbow - Climbing Injury

3 months ago I have been diagnosed a Golfer's Elbow on each arm. Actually it is started to be painful 6 months ago, but I did not really pay attention, thinking that will be fixed by itself.
I have been doing a bit a research about the subject, and this is what I found:

Golfer's elbow is predominantly a tendon issue. The condition is called Golfer's elbow because in making a golf swing this tendon is stressed. Golfer's elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is an inflammatory condition of the elbow which in some ways is similar to tennis elbow.

Inflammation of flexor forearm muscles causing medial elbow pain. Caused by repetitive stress at the muscle-tendon junction and its origin at the medial epicondyle.

The reason I had this injury is probably because I have not done enough warm before starting training or I have warmed up okay but have just pushed too hard.

The best possible treatment involves stopping the activity that caused your golfer's elbow in the first place.

One of the best treatments for golfer's elbow if you must continue the activity is a strap or brace around the forearm.





Alternative golfer's elbow treatments include massage therapy, acupuncture, local steroid injection, ultrasound and laser treatments.

The following picture is a good illustration of rehabilitation exercises:
