Is Riding Your Bike Causing You Pain? | Live, Laugh, Learn | The Pro's Closet

If you've ever experienced pain during or after a ride or you know a cyclist or athlete that has experienced not-so-normal pain, you absolutely need to watch this video.  No pain, no gain, right? Well, this isn't always the case. Hip and low back pain, IT band issues, or burning sensations in our pelvic region are signs that something in your body is amiss. Some pain while cycling is simply not normal, however when it affects our gonads, people have a tendency to avoid seeking treatment for it. Kelly Sammis, pelvic health expert and physical therapist from OnWard Denver Physical Therapy walks us through pelvic floor health. She teaches us what our pelvic floor does, why dysfunction arises in cyclists, common issues many endurance athletes experience, and how you can come back from injury.
