Pablo Scorza is a Brazilian physiotherapist and one of the most sought-after climbing health specialists in the world. Born in Brazil in 1978, he trained as a physiotherapist in 2000, specialising in posturology, exercise physiology, manual therapy and psychoneuromotricity, drawn to the profession by his own experience of postural problems as a young person. Climbing became his laboratory, a way to better understand how the human body moves, and in 2007 a chance meeting with Spanish climber Dani Andrada at a São Paulo gym changed his life completely. Invited to Spain as Andrada's personal physio, Pablo never looked back, eventually settling in the climbing village of Siurana in Catalunya where he has spent nearly two decades working exclusively with climbers, from beginners to world elites including James Pearson, Hazel Findlay, Edu Marin and Patxi Usobiaga. His guiding philosophy is simple: take care of your body, it's your most valuable climbing gear. 

"Be patient and persistent, but most of all, be joyful."

Get to Know Pablo

When did you start climbing?

I started climbing in Brazil in 1997. I never imagined I would become a climber. I came from a different background as a physical therapist, and my perspective on climbing came from my search to better understand how the human body works. I thought climbing would be a great laboratory to help me understand our biomechanics.

Who are your role models, both within and outside the climbing community?

There are many people I admire in our community, it is largely made up of really amazing individuals. But I cannot thank enough the Spanish climber Dani Andrada, who found me in São Paulo in 2007 and brought me to Spain for the first time. That changed everything for me.

What do you consider your most significant climbing achievement to date?

I truly believe my most significant achievement is the fact that I have dedicated 30 years of my life to helping climbers understand how to improve themselves in a healthy and sustainable way.

What is the most valuable piece of climbing advice you have received?

Be patient and persistent, but most of all, be joyful.
