Race season and cycling season are starting again. The kilometers are piling up. And in a few weeks, injuries follow. They don't come out of nowhere. They build gradually, because of muscle imbalances you never took time to fix.
The most common injuries we see this time of year:
- Runner's knee and chronic pain on the outside of the knee
- Lower back pain on the bike
- Chronic tension in the hips and hip flexors
- Plantar fasciitis early in running season
An assessment with Vincent Rizzolo, kinesiologist at Clinique RESET, before you ramp up training is the best decision you can make for your season. Here's what it includes:
- Identify weak muscle groups or ones being overused
- Customized strength and mobility program for your sport
- Structured progression plan for the whole season
Whether you're prepping a triathlon, a 10K, a gran fondo, or just Sunday rides, serious prep makes the difference between a full season and a season on pause.
