For Cyclists & Runners
Go longer, perform better, stay injury-free
You Love Riding/Running. Your Body is Fighting Back.
Whether you're climbing Empire Grade, running West Cliff, or putting in miles for your next race, repetitive movement takes a toll. The same issues keep coming back:
- • IT band tightness that won't release
- • Hip flexor pain from too much sitting + riding/running
- • Knee pain that gets worse with mileage
- • Lower back stiffness after long rides/runs
- • Plantar fasciitis that keeps you from training
Common Issues for Cyclists
Hours in a flexed position shortens hip flexors, creating lower back pain and limiting power output.
Repetitive knee bending with tight hips causes friction and inflammation on the outside of the knee.
Staying in flexion for hours while generating power stresses the lower back and creates chronic tension.
Holding your head up while looking forward creates neck strain and shoulder tension.
Common Issues for Runners
Poor hip and knee alignment causes tracking issues and pain around the kneecap.
Lateral knee pain from tight IT band, often due to weak glutes and hip imbalances.
Heel and arch pain from tight calves, restricted ankle mobility, and poor foot mechanics.
Inflammation from overuse, tight calves, and poor running mechanics.
How I Help Cyclists & Runners
Release the Restrictions
- • Free up tight hip flexors, IT bands, and quads
- • Release locked-up calves and plantar fascia
- • Restore ankle and hip mobility
- • Balance leg length discrepancies and rotation patterns
Improve Biomechanics
- • Optimize pedal stroke efficiency (cyclists)
- • Improve running gait and foot strike (runners)
- • Strengthen weak glutes and posterior chain
- • Teach proper breathing for endurance
Prevent Future Issues
- • Pre/post-ride warm-ups and recovery practices
- • Mobility work to counter repetitive positions
- • Strength exercises that translate to performance
- • Early warning signs to catch problems before they sideline you
Performance Benefits
Beyond pain relief, better biomechanics = better performance:
