‼️NIGGLES ON THE BIKE AND HOW TO ELIMINATE THEM‼️ We all get to points in the year where we have niggles. Or worse quad burn lower back pain inside knee pain. The more functionally strong you are the less this will happen but it still does because we are human. The reason for this is function follows posture. Once we are out of alignment we stop functioning muscles muscles start doing jobs they shouldn’t as a result we become twisted damaged and toxic. So how to prevent this ? You cant FULLY but... If our body falls out of alignment everything will suddenly be wrong I.e setup doesn’t feel quite right in some areas. If something changes look to your body first. We are organic beings we adapt to something even if it is wrong for us. If training load and fatigue rises this can expose problems. We can help you understand what has gone wrong. Look to your body first if you make changes to your bike you will take time adapting to them and if you aren’t aligned they will be false anyway. Go to the osteopath get put back into place I have seen people throw away contracts from being out of alignment and wondering what is going wrong. With ensuring your body is healthy they can also check if you are functionally straight if not this is where we can help.
