Rock Climbing in a Therapy Setting

Rock climbing is an ideal tool for occupational and physical therapy clinics. It is inherently attractive to a variety of youth and allows for a level of success regardless of age, ability or fitness level. A climbing wall can help to develop physical skills, as well as cognitive and social-emotional skills. The whole child benefits from rock climbing.

We have a wide variety of Traverse Wall® styles to enhance your program. Our Adaptive Wall was specifically designed to help children with special needs reap the benefits of rock climbing. It features grab-bar style hand holds and ledge-like foot holds, along with our standard assortment of hand holds. The write-on/wipe-off and magnet-accepting surface opens opportunities to develop language, math and other skills.

Our Mural Walls bring beautiful scenes to your facility and our Sandstone Relief-Feature Wall evokes outdoor climbing in the southwestern United States. We can work with you to choose the perfect climbing wall to meet your clinic's needs.
