"My name is Aurélie Dutertre, I am 47 years old and I am the mother of two children. I have been working for around twenty years. I started as a physiotherapist in a sports rehabilitation center in Cape Breton, since 2010 I have been working as an osteopath in my practice in Isère."

"I chose this training to be in contact with people. This job allows me to perform manual techniques based on non-painful bone and muscle manipulations. My job is aimed at everyone from infants to adults sporty."

“I moved into high-level sport immediately after finishing my physiotherapy studies. 

 I had the chance to join the Franck Cammas trimaran team and to be able to taste the offshore racing stables, such as the Route du rhum or the Figaro solo race.  

After my time in the sailing world, I moved to Isère. Naturally, my gaze turned to outdoor sports and more particularly to skiing and climbing.  

I joined the FFME (French Mountain and Climbing Federation) in 2011, working for two years with the French ski mountaineering team.  

In 2013, I started working with the French climbing teams for five years with the Senior Diff team.  

In 2017 I joined the France Jeune team on diff, bouldering and speed. 

Climbing is a demanding sport which, in addition to its many physical benefits, includes a psychological dimension. It calls for reflection, creativity and sharpens concentration. Climbing is a technical and psychological activity that requires method. » 

“I have a lot of memories in my head!  I remember the victories with these cries of joy.  

The moment when you watch the athlete climb his route with out of breath... The fear that he will miss the hold and fall... Moments when the pressure goes down, or you read this immeasurable joy in the eyes of the winner. The pride of having given everything and having succeeded in clearing the way.   

Memories of travel, discovery of countries and regions while traveling in France or internationally. 

For 10 years, I had the chance to work with Corentin Le Goff as a senior and Corinne Theroux as a youth. Benevolent coaches with the athletes who give all their energy so that the climber can express themselves to the best of their ability in their climbing! "

"I had the idea for this book to help patients practice simple exercises at home that I offer in the office.  

The list of exercises is not exhaustive, it complements the rehabilitation, offered by your physiotherapist or doctor. The treatment protocols will help you relieve your pain, mobilize and strengthen the injured area. The exercises can be practiced at home or in dedicated areas of climbing gyms. This book can serve as support to help you better manage your pain or prevent climbing injuries. 

Injury prevention is a major tool in my opinion that is too often neglected. "

“Injury is not inevitable, climbing is an excellent sport to stay healthy. »

In the immediate future, I would like to speak to climbers of all levels to convey a message about the consequences of an injury and what to do to avoid it.  

I prepare many events with climbing professionals (athletes, fitness trainers and coaches). Particularly high-level climbers so that they can testify about their experience with the injury. 

• What link between the mind and the injury. 
• The role of rehabilitation and gradual recovery! 

 The injury not only affects training, but also the athlete's physique. Inevitably, it also affects his mind. If the injury is poorly managed, it can become heavy and take up too much space in the head. During the rehabilitation period, the causes must be analyzed. The injury is not inevitable, it is an alarm signal, which often indicates something that we are not doing correctly, such as overtraining, lack of rest, mental overload, training conditions poorly adapted. It’s time to take stock of what’s going wrong! The athletes who are most successful in their convalescence and rehabilitation are those who follow this mental approach.
