Bike Hab: Exercises for Biking

Course overview

What do you do when the solution to improve a cyclist's pain or performance is more than adjusting the contact points on the bike? While it's important to fit the bike to the rider, its even more critical to fit the rider to the bike. In this course we'll examine how your patient's posture, mobility, stability, and even pedaling technique blend together to impact body stress during cycling. We'll identify clinical goals for rehab in terms of posture and neuromuscular recruitment patterns, and ensure that they are carried over to on-the-bike skills. When your patients see how these strategies directly impact cycling they'll be motivated to close the gap between rehab and return to sport. And from the performance side, optimizing postural alignment and biomechanics will improve cycling economy for less fatigue.
