Discovery finds the path. AMA is a one-off consult. The 6-week block is a custom cycle. PT is clinical care in California. They are not a package.

The approach

Performance work from a climbing-specialist DPT

Coaching here is not a generic Hypertrophy PDF. It’s climbing-literate strategy from a Doctor of Physical Therapy who’s spent decades in gyms, comps, and on rock.

Joshua Foster, DPT — The Send Doctor — coaches as a clinician and a climbing specialist. Two separate services: a 45-minute Ask Me Anything for immediate expertise, or a 6-week custom training block with Week 0 screening — capacity, goals, and climbing preferences — and done-for-you progression.

They are not a package. Book the AMA if you need a targeted breakthrough. Book the 6-week block if you want a full training cycle written after your capacity is screened.

Offerings

Choose the coaching that fits

Two independent services. Both are built through a DPT and climbing-specialist lens.

Option A · Immediate Expertise

Ask Me Anything

45-minute session

For the self-coached climber who needs a one-off technical breakthrough or a clinical sanity check.

Work with Joshua Foster, DPT — a long-time climbing specialist — for clinical movement triage and training strategy. This is not for comprehensive training-program development.

$150 · 45 minutes

Option B · Done-For-You Progression

6-week custom training block

Week 0 assessment + 6 training weeks

For the climber committed to a structured training cycle with ongoing DPT oversight.

Josh Foster — The Send Doctor, coach and climbing-specialist Doctor of Physical Therapy — writes a customized plan. Week 0 screens structural joint health and tissue capacity, and covers goals, climbing preferences, strengths, weaknesses, and anything else needed to write a complete plan. After you complete and log the physical assessments, a 30-minute visit reviews the plan. Then six weeks of training with asynchronous Monday check-ins and biweekly video check-ins.

$450

Includes a 45-minute Week 0 assessment covering capacity, goals, climbing preferences, and strengths and weaknesses, then a 30-minute training-plan overview after assessment week. During the block: async Monday check-ins and biweekly video check-ins.

Included

What DPT-informed coaching covers

Clinical eyes on climbing

Joshua Foster, DPT, reads movement as a clinician and a climbing specialist — triage, tissue capacity, and tactics in the same conversation.

Strategy, not a template

AMA sessions target a specific bottleneck. The 6-week block writes programming only after Week 0 screens capacity and covers goals, climbing preferences, and strengths and weaknesses.

Strength that serves climbing

Fingers, pulling, hips, legs, and antagonist work sequenced so you gain capacity without torching recovery.

Oversight that fits the offering

One-off AMA for a sanity check. Six training weeks with async Monday check-ins and biweekly video check-ins when you want a full cycle written for you.

The 6-week block

How done-for-you progression runs

The public calendar slot is Week 0: capacity screening plus the conversation that makes the plan complete. Programming waits until that visit is done.

  1. 01

    Week 0 assessment

    A 45-minute DPT-led screen of structural joint health and tissue capacity, plus goals, climbing preferences, strengths, weaknesses, and other details needed for a complete plan. No programming is written until this is done.

  2. 02

    You log the testing

    Complete and log the physical assessments so the plan is built from your actual capacity, not a template.

  3. 03

    Plan-review visit

    A 30-minute training-plan overview after assessment week to walk through the custom plan before you start the cycle.

  4. 04

    Six training weeks

    Done-for-you progression with weekly check-ins asynchronously on Mondays, plus biweekly live video check-ins.

$450

Includes a 45-minute Week 0 assessment covering capacity, goals, climbing preferences, and strengths and weaknesses, then a 30-minute training-plan overview after assessment week. During the block: async Monday check-ins and biweekly video check-ins.

After you book

What happens next

No mystery box. Calendar first, then the work that matches the offering you chose.

After you book an AMA

  1. 01You’ll get a calendar confirmation and video link.
  2. 02Show up ready to move: space, webcam, shoes or tools you climb in, and the specific bottleneck you want triaged.
  3. 03You leave with clinical movement notes and training strategy — not a full custom program.

After you book the 6-week block

  1. 01The public calendar slot is the 45-minute Week 0 assessment: capacity screening plus goals, preferences, and strengths and weaknesses.
  2. 02Complete and log the physical assessments during assessment week.
  3. 03We meet again for a 30-minute training-plan overview before the cycle starts.
  4. 04Six training weeks follow, with async Monday check-ins and biweekly video check-ins.

Fit check

Is coaching the right path?

Good fit

  • You’re healthy enough to train and want performance, not clinical rehab
  • You have a concrete goal (grade, trip, comp) or a stubborn plateau
  • You want either a focused AMA or a full 6-week cycle with DPT-written programming
  • You’re anywhere in the world — coaching isn’t limited to California

Better elsewhere

  • You currently need injury diagnosis or medical rehab (that’s PT — CA only)
  • You want a hands-on spotter in the gym every session
  • You’re looking for a one-off “secret exercise” without changing training habits

Injured and you'll be in California at the appointment? See physical therapy.
