Been on your bike more lately? Yeah, us too!
You’re not the only one out there in Memphis dealing with neck pain or stiffness after increasing your time on the bike!
The first thing that might help? A good bike fit.
Making sure your position on the bike is correct for your body can go a long way in making you more comfortable and efficient.
Check out our friends at Victory Bicycle Studio in Memphis — they’re awesome to work with and can make sure that your bike fits your body in the best way possible.
Spending a long time in one position can be a challenge, especially when the rest of your day is also spent hunched forward at a desk.
Consistent movement and position changes are necessary to stay mobile and avoid pain.
So when you don’t have that option on the bike, make sure you spend time working on keeping your neck and upper back moving when you’re off the bike.
Try these exercises targeted to improve mobility and increase neck and thoracic spine endurance, so you can stay comfortable on your bike longer.
If neck or upper back stiffness is something you’ve dealt with for a while, or it’s affecting your ability to enjoy riding, we can help.
At 901PT, we’ll spend a full hour doing a custom assessment to uncover the root cause of what’s going on.
You’ll leave with your questions answered, a clear plan, and the confidence that you’ve got an expert in your corner.
