They can be caused by frequent, repetitive movements (and stress) of a joint during rock climbing, which hurts the body's ability to regenerate itself. As such, Dr Lee advises that "if you experience pain in a particular area every time you perform a particular action or move, then it is time to back off and stop doing that particular action... so that the area has a chance to heal."
