Recovery Blueprint™
Your complete path to injury recovery in a single app.
- Proven programs that have helped hundreds of climbers beat their injuries
- Return to climbing sooner and stronger for about the cost of a Netflix subscription
- Available for most common climbing-related finger injuries, with more in active development
Rock climbing has a problem.
Countless climbers are…
- Unable to find effective treatment for their injuries
- Struggling to regain full range of motion and strength
- Spending hundreds or thousands on generic treatment
- Stuck in a cycle of pain and underperformance
- Feeling like no one understands their injury
Why are traditional solutions failing climbers? Because…
Climbing injuries are constantly misunderstood.
What if there was a proven, modern solution—made specifically for climbers—for a fraction of the cost of traditional therapy?
I’m Dr. Jason Hooper, PT, DPT, OCS, SCS
I’ve noticed a trend in climbers that come to me for the first time: they’re frustrated by their injuries, disillusioned by their lack of progress, and tired of hearing “just stop climbing for a few weeks.” As a climber myself, I get it, and I’m here to help.
That’s why we created Recovery Blueprint. Now, there’s no reason to let injuries stop you from enjoying climbing… and reaching your potential!

Testimonials
It's been a huge success for me. I dealt with that nagging pulley issue for almost 5 months, and with your help was able to make it fully go away within a month. Further, after that injury healed..., I had another overuse issue on another finger and I implemented what you taught me the first go around and was able to heal that finger within a week. I am now lead climbing on harder grades than I was climbing on TR before. Feels so good to be making pain-free progress on the wall for basically the first time ever.
- Christian Gomez
I was having ongoing shoulder pain that severely limited my ability to climb, dance, and get a good night’s sleep. An MRI report diagnosed me with a labral tear and I was concerned recovery would be extremely difficult.... Luckily, my hope was restored when I started Jason's program. The app was so easy to use and the demo videos were quick to download if I needed a refresher during my workout. I am now feeling much stronger and have greatly reduced pain and am climbing harder grades than I ever have! Having a program from a PT who knows climbing and understands orthopedic issues made all the difference in my recovery. Thank you, Jason!
- Dr. Alice Kirby, PT, DPT, SEP
After about a year of juggling this joint capsulitis with varying ups & downs but nothing significant, I will say... after 1 day of the exercises you have... it feels pain free today, it might be my best finger now (ha!).... It was getting much better but this is definitely the next step. I am psyched to get back to climbing and not feeling a super stiff finger the day after.
- MdotKraz
Climbing comes with injuries. I came in pretty beat up. The recovery program got me back to climbing strong again and taught me how to protect myself even as I pushed grades. My fingers, knees and shoulders are... so much more stable which has really helped my confidence climbing. I finally understand how to train so that I can get ahead of the inevitable tweaks and strains. Climbing movement is not like other sports. For me, "normal" PT and training just didn't get the job done. I've been SO grateful to have access to Jason’s expertise.
- Max Gunther
I initially used Jason’s recovery program for my wrist. My experience was so positive that I decided to continue with a personalized training program to improve my climbing performance. Their app has been... an excellent tool, making it easy to access and track my tailored workouts. From seeing my workout of the day as soon as the app opens to video demonstrations and simple logging, the app has made effective training programming effortless! Thanks to Hooper's Beta, I've improved both my strength and climbing performance!

Two Approaches to Choose From
Follow-Along Programs
For those who want to follow our recommended recovery timeline as closely as possible.
-
All you have to do is check off the assigned tasks each day. Most activities can be performed any time of day, though some early recovery stages may require a morning-evening split (these exercises will be brief).
Some schedule modification is still possible within the app. You can move a workout to a different day at any time with a few taps, but large scale changes to the schedule (e.g., moving all workouts ahead one week or skipping ahead multiple weeks) will not be feasible. If you want that level of customization, a self-paced program would be a better fit.
-
Everything you need to go from early recovery to end-stage strengthening will be provided in the app. This includes any necessary educational documents, resources, exercise how-tos, etc., along with the pre-scheduled workouts.
-
You can activate your program on a different day from when you purchase it if you’d like.
The duration of the program will be disclosed up front on the product page for each program (typically 8-12 weeks depending on injury and severity).
Self-Paced Programs
For those who prefer a more DIY approach with the ability to fully customize your schedule.
-
The app puts every one of our custom-made recovery workouts, from Phase 0 to end-stage strengthening, at your fingertips, so you can schedule things however you’d like.
-
Within the app you’ll get all the same materials as the follow-along programs (including injury-specific recovery workouts and educational documents) in addition to a standard recovery timeline.
The standard timeline shows our entire suggested recovery schedule for your injury, which you can use to guide your own programming choices if you’d like (recommended!).
-
You can activate your program on a different day from when you purchase it if you’d like.
Once activated, you’ll have full access for as long as you keep the subscription active. If you’d like to stop, you can do so at any time by logging into your account on a web browser or contacting us directly.
FAQs
-
Recovery Blueprints are primarily categorized by injury type, severity (grade), and location (if applicable). Before starting any new recovery program you should get clearance from a qualified medical professional.
To see the Blueprints other climbers have selected with similar symptoms, click here to use our free injury assessment tool (currently available for rock climbing related finger injuries). Please note this assessment is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
If you need a diagnosis from a professional, you can click here to schedule an online diagnosis appointment with Dr. Jason Hooper PT, DPT, OCS, SCS.
-
The length of follow-along programs is stated on its product page, which can be found by following the link in the drop-down menu.
The self-paced programs continue indefinitely until you decide to stop your subscription.
Exact recovery times will vary depending on your injury and rate of progress. All programs are at least one month, with most in the two to three month range.
The follow-along programs include a structured return-to-climbing plan to help you gradually get back to the sport, ensuring you’re ready and minimizing the risk of re-injury.
-
Our programs are designed to accommodate virtually any schedule. Most workouts can be performed any time of day and are not excessively time consuming.
If for some reason you need to move a workout to a different day, you’re free to do so in the app (instructions provided!).
With follow-along programs, you will not be able to make major changes to the schedule or rearrange the entire program. If you need this level of customization, consider a self-paced program!
-
If your injury happened weeks ago and you're already well into the recovery process, it can be okay to skip ahead so the exercise programming (including exercise selection, intensity, and volume) more closely aligns with your current level of recovery.
If your injury has been bothering you for weeks (or months) and has worsened or plateaued, then you should NOT skip ahead. The progressive tissue loading protocols (which can start out quite light or may even involve a deload phase) are there for a very specific reason. In many cases, they are ESSENTIAL for your recovery. Trust the process!If you’re doing a follow-along program and you decide that skipping ahead is right for you, contact us at info@hoopersbeta.com and let us know how many weeks to move your program ahead. Please note that in doing so you acknowledge that you are taking things into your own hands and as such we cannot guarantee the outcome of the program. Additionally, the number of subscription payments that have been scheduled for your program will not change.

These are the exact programs Dr. Jason Hooper PT, DPT, OCS, SCS has used and refined over a decade of successfully helping hundreds of climbers return from injury.
The only difference is they're now available in a convenient mobile app with step-by-step guidance and video demonstrations for a fraction of the cost of traditional therapy.
Compared to other programs, ours offer specific exercises and techniques designed to meet the unique needs of climbers and climbing injuries. Generic programs often fail to do this, so we created Recovery Blueprint to make that a problem of the past!

If you're cleared by a qualified medical professional to do so, then yes! Our injury-specific programs are designed to guide you from the initial phase of recovery through to your return to climbing.

-

-
If you finish recovering and would like to switch to a new Blueprint before your current subscription has expired, please contact us. We can cancel the current program for you and start the new one, just be aware that it will begin a new subscription and thus incur a new $19 charge.
