Bodywork For Cyclists

In addition to regular stretching before and after rides, as well as conditioning the core, leg, and glute muscle groups, massage is key for preventing cycling injuries and reducing soreness and inflammation. Typical injuries include pressure on knees if the body is not aligned correctly or saddle position is not correctly adjusted, stiff and forward-bent neck from holding the head forward for long periods of time, tight or sore wrists, and strain on quadriceps, abductors, gluteals, hamstrings, and lower back muscles. Not to mention any injuries or broken bones that occur from falls or crashes. Massages are recommended shortly after a long ride, a few days before a long ride, or between rides for maintenance.
