The CSPC Cyclist’s Full Body MOT is an off-bike assessment where we assess the body from head to toe assessing the strength, stability, flexibility, balance, biomechanics, breathing and functional movement required for cycling.
In our experience of working with cyclists – from elite triathletes and semi-pro cyclists to the novice and those completing long distance events – we have found there are many common problem areas, including hot or numb feet and hands, lower back and saddle pain, neck and shoulder discomfort and knee pain.
Quite often it’s not the bike but the body that needs some attention. You may be feeling pain and discomfort when on the bike due to:
- Poor posture
- Inefficient and incorrect breathing pattern
- Poor foot and ankle flexibility, control, strength and relaxation of the foot
- Poor balance, stability and body awareness
- Tight and weak glutes with dominance of quads, low back and hamstrings
- Inability to dissociate upper and lower zones of the body
- Reduced hip and spinal mobility/range of motion
- Poor spinal and pelvic control
- Poor shoulder and upper body strength and stability
Your physiotherapist will prescribe you with a strength and conditioning (S&C) programme to address any of these problems, to help prevent injury and thereby improve the consistency of your training and comfort and performance on the bike.
When setting your S&C programme, the physiotherapist will also take into account the type of bike you ride and, if you compete, the event you are working towards to help you perform at your best.
Cost: 1.5 hours with a CSPC physiotherapist followed by a detailed report with findings and strength and conditioning programme. £220
