Agenda
“I’m really looking forward to being a speaker at the TRIA Hand Therapy Conference! I am a physical therapist passionate about climbing and helping athletes recover from injuries. My journey has been quite an adventure, with years offering specialized treatment and immersing myself in all things climbing, including writing an Amazon #1 best-seller called Climb Injury-Free. I’ve climbed all over the world and am excited to share practical tips and insights to help athletes of all levels stay injury-free and get back to doing what they love. See you at the conference for some great discussion!” – Jared Vagy
