Knee problems is cyclists arise from the hip/pelvis or ankle. Call me so that we may evaluate you to determine where the origin of your problem is coming from and fix it.

A common source of injuries for athletes, the knee is a pivotal hinge joint and the largest joint in the body.

Is your positioning allowing you to take full advantage of the power in your glutes? Call me so that we may evaluate you on and off the bike.

Across a range of studies, the gluteus maximus displays its greatest activation levels during hip extension when the muscle is producing force while it is shortened (either by hip extension itself, by hip external rotation, or by hip abduction). This is likely because the shorter muscle displays a larger hip extension internal moment arm, and is thereby activated to a greater extent in accordance with the principle of neuromechanical matching.

Research showing to concentrate on the gluteal muscles to ride faster.

Faster sprinters display larger hip flexor muscles and larger hip extensor muscles than slower sprinters. However, maximum strength levels at the hip joint do not differ between these athlete groups (and in fact, greater knee extensor strength was associated with slower 100m times). This suggests that the key differentiating factor between them is maximum speed (and therefore high-velocity strength) rather than maximum strength.

This morning I just noticed the similarities to cycling positioning and how riders may assume the same posture. Call me or send me a picture so that I may evaluate you and make necessary corrections.

Excellent video showing how to relieve TFL tightness.

Overload of the TFL can lead to pain and tightness in the front of the hip. Very common is also tightness or pain radiating into the ITB and in the outer par...

Deep gluteal pain syndrome is common with cyclists as most of the pedaling power arises from these muscles. However, treating just these muscles WILL NOT resolve the symptoms. Call me, we will get to the BOTTOM (🤣) of your problem and fix it.

This is what happens to cyclists as their quads strengthen and tighten, then effecting the glutes. Call me, I evaluate and treat all conditions arising from tight quads.

Although rare, cyclist's may sustain foot stress fractures. It is due to pressures being exerted in the foot improperly. Orthotics are required to correct this. Call me, I can evaluated and cast you with the proper custom inner soles you need.

Stress fractures are small, microscopic cracks in bone that commonly occur in the feet. Foot stress fractures are often caused by overuse injuries in sports, such as soccer or dance.

Unless the injury is caused by acute trauma, knee pain is the result of a problem with hip or lower leg. Call me so that we may fix both.
