 GRASSHOPPER BOARD TRAINING PROGRAM

The Grasshopper Board is an adjustable climbing wall with a variety of holds mirrored on the left and right sides. With a symmetrical layout, this board was designed to help climbers identify discrepancies in their strength and range of motion on their left versus right side. 


Since the Grasshopper Board allows you to mirror the route, if you have difficulty on a route that requires a left heel hook, Dr. Anna Chang can assess whether it is evident using a right heel hook, whether it's an aspect of climbing like route reading/sequencing, or whether it's a strength versus power discrepancy.

Dr. Anna Chang, DPT is excited to offer IN-PERSON & ONLINE Grasshopper Board Training Sessions!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Clients start with an initial movement assessment. During this session, Dr. Anna Chang will review & assess areas of weakness. From there, she will develop a personalized training program that will challenge your weaknesses and strengthen your climbing, provide supplemental therapeutic tools for your training and recovery, and create routes in realtime for you to practice on the wall.


In-person sessions are held at our training facility in Tacoma, WA. Online sessions can be anywhere you have access to a Grasshopper board! Feel free to use our board at Onsight PT in Tacoma, or visit Seattle Bouldering Project in Fremont if you're in the Greater Seattle Area.

Whether you need help recovering from an injury, restoring or enhancing mobility, or strengthening your climbing, Dr. Anna Chang will work with you to develop a personalized training program that will help you reach your climbing goals!

PRICING:

Initial appointment (including movement assessment + exercise programming): $150/session

Follow-up appointments: $75/session

Working with Anna was been a tremendous help. She has been able to answer the questions that have mattered the most to me. Not only has she been able to help with injury recovery, she has also been mindful of my overall strength and climbing ability. She has identified other weak spots that I didn’t know I had. In just a few weeks of working with her, I have noticed a big improvement in both my overall strength and climbing performance.

Rating: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 

I had wanted to increase my stamina in the gym so I could cross-train for other activities. Anna took this into consideration and after a PT session not for the faint of heart - she put me on a custom program suited for my goals in the gym and beyond. After sticking with her program for a few weeks - I saw a dramatic increase in gym stamina and general decrease in overall fatigue. I would Highly recommend Dr. Chang for anyone who wants something personal added to their regimen from a highly qualified climber and PT!!
