***Please Note:  I am Jason Clements and I am not a doctor nor a physical therapist.  I write about my outdoor experiences.  I believe in self-care, self-experimentation, and problem solving.  IF YOU ARE INJURED, go see your doctor.  Don’t be an idiot — a phrase that Dr. Lisa and I both agree upon.

I am going to make a gigantic claim about Voodoo Flossing at the end of this article…


But First, What Does The Doctor Say?  Enter Dr. Lisa Erikson

An avid mulitsport athlete, Dr. Lisa competed in collegiate running, cycling, and nordic skiing. A trail runner, ultrarunner, climber, and nordic skier, Dr. Lisa is a Palmer-West College of Chiropractic Alumni with a specialization in Sports Chiropractic and Chiropractic Biomechanics of Posture. She also has a BS in Cellular Biology and Neuroscience from MSU-Bozeman and additional X-ray Diagnostic training. The medical provider for USAClimbing from 2009 to present, she has written a book on climbing injuries and devoted herself to the elimination of injuries compiled by missing self-care and abnormal loading patterns.

Dr. Lisa Erikson is the author of Climbing Injuries Solved.  She is the doctor who has treated some of the top climbers in the world:  Dave Graham, Daniel Woods, Angie Payne.

Dr. Lisa commented on my Video titled “Why Every Climber Should Experiment With Voodoo Flossing.”

Great video Jason. I have gotten a bunch of questions about your video in office so I thought I’d clarify ONE thing-

Readers- Just as a heads up (because I get TONS of this question in office), Voodoo flossing is for adhesions between the skin, muscle, tendons and connective tissue.

Think of a popcorn ball of scar tissue or a piece of bubble gum between the different tissues that binds them abnormally together. This is what Voodoo flossing rips up!

These adhesions limit the amount of motion that occurs under the skin because everything is stuck together, especially after long term swelling or inflammation as we see in our favorite sport.

Great video and fabulous for this region…

     1. Voodoo flossing does NOT decrease muscle tone (or hasn’t been shown to yet) and is NOT for tendonitis of the forearm or finger…

     2. Voodoo flossing IS for lost range of motion or for treatment of reduction of these ranges of motion.

     3. A few treatments should do it, this doesn’t need to be a weekly treatment as once these adhesions are ripped up, you have to earn them back.

Thanks for putting this out there Jason, knowledge is power! -Dr. Lisa


Jason’s Gigantic Claim About Voodoo Flossing:

Voodoo Flossing is the new go-to self-care protocol for pain management, recovery, and performance.

I make that claim because:

  • I have used Voodoo Flossing to help a tweaked finger
  • I have used Voodoo Flossing to recover from a 2nd degree calf tear
  • I use Voodoo Flossing to de-pump while I am climbing
  • I witnessed a grapefruit-sized twisted ankle come down to near normal in about an hour with a few short Voodoo Flossing sessions.  That climber was able to continue climbing and enjoying his weekend.
  • The UK Bouldering Forum is full of testimonials of the benefits of Voodoo Flossing
  • I finish all of my climbing sessions with some Voodoo Flossing.  I floss my fingers, forearms, biceps and triceps, calves; or anywhere I am feeling some pump or soreness.

Dr. Lisa Erikson says:  “Be Your Own Best Advocate”

  • Visit Dr. Lisa’s YouTube channel.  There is a lot of self-care information there.
  • Buy Dr. Lisa’s book “Climbing Injuries Solved.”  I review it here.
  • You should be able to check out from your local library Dr. Kelly Starrett’s excellent book called, “Becomming a Supple Leopard.”  His book and Youtube channel are gold mines of knowledge, too.
  • Experiment on your own with your own ideas for self care.  Include a lacrosse ball, foam roller, Theracane or any other device or tool that works for you.
  • Experiment with some Voodoo Flossing during your climbing sesh when you are ready to send but are feeling the pump.
