The Key to Ride Pain Free
Bottom line, you can spend $1000s on a bike and all the right gear, but if your muscles are imbalanced, you will never reach your full potential on the bike. In fact, you are at risk of injury, if not riding with pain already. Targeted dynamic movement, strengthening and stretching have been proven to eliminate knee and back pain, accelerate recovery, restore a healthy range of motion and increase power.
Starting immediately after sign up you'll be given access to all programming in your membership area. You can access on any device like your phone, tablet or computer.
Fix the Root of the Issue
- Eliminate knee, hip, and lower back pain
- Correct lower crossed syndrome and pelvic tilt
- Restore a healthy range of motion
- Increase stability, power, and efficiency
- Enjoy riding your bike for years to come!
Have you heard of adaptive muscle shortening?
There is a condition that most cyclists, and even doctors, are failing to identify, but if you suffer from:
- WEAK & TIGHT HAMSTRINGS
- TIGHT HIP FLEXORS
- SORE QUADS
- KNEE PAIN
- BACK PAIN
...then you most likely have adaptive muscle shortening.
Adaptive Muscle Shortening Is Holding You Back
Our muscles are the engine by which we move, impacting every aspect of our bodies whether we realize it or not. Unfortunately, muscles do not naturally maintain their healthy or ideal range of motion on their own. In fact, it’s just the opposite. Muscles will change their functional resting length to adapt to the length at which they are habitually used or positioned.
This is bad news for cyclists.
As a culture we are spending more and more time sitting, which can result in weak hamstrings and glutes, with tight quads and hip flexors. This combination causes a rounded-forward posture with an anterior pelvic tilt. Unfortunately, time spent on the bike is more time in this hunched over position, which can make the problem worse. Not only will shortened muscles impact your efficiency, comfort, and aerodynamics on the bike, but they will eventually lead to injury.
The Root of the Problem isn’t what you think…
Each of us has our own pain points, whether it be tight shoulders and neck, hamstrings, quads, etc. However, what we may not realize is the root of these problems is all connected through one muscle–one you’ve probably never heard of, let alone trained or stretched.
Introducing the Hidden Muscle that is the key to unlocking your full potential.
The psoas (so-as) is the muscle that connects the lower body to the upper body.
It is one of two muscles that makes up the iliopsoas, and is the bridge between your upper and lower body. Almost every movement involves the psoas, making it not only one of the most important muscles in the body, but also the secret to unlocking your full potential.
When the psoas is healthy and functioning correctly it creates a neutral pelvic alignment, stabilizing the hips and supporting the lower back and abdomen. When it is unbalanced or tight, there are serious consequences in almost every part of your body, showing up as a pelvic tilt.
The Majority of Cyclists Have an Anterior Pelvic Tilt
An Anterior Pelvic Tilt refers to a change in posture due to tightened psoas muscles and hip flexors. The front of the pelvis rotates forward, and the back of the pelvis rises. This leads to an increased curvature of the lower spine and upper back, and manifests with rounded shoulders, protruding stomach and weakened glutes and core muscles.
What causes the psoas to shorten?
The cycling position isn’t entirely to blame, although the bent over posture does allow the psoas to become tight. Sitting, whether it be at a desk job, driving, or on the couch, will eventually lead to a shortened and underdeveloped psoas muscle.
Why isn’t everyone talking about this?
Diagnosing the root cause of symptoms can be tricky, and many health professionals struggle to pinpoint this muscle buried deep in your hips. Understand, that this is not your fault! However, now that you know, it’s up to you to do something about it. That’s where we come in.
Unlock your full potential through our sequential method.
Lengthening the muscles, especially the psoas, needs to be done in the right order, with balance and intention. Concentrating on one muscle before the other can actually add to the problem, rather than improving it.
This is why so many people give up when they don't experience results within the first few days. The reality is, lengthening the muscles takes time, but our plan will have you feeling the difference within a couple weeks.
While many of the stretches may be ones you already know, doing the movements in the right order and holding them for the right amount of time will make all the difference. Our goal is to help you unravel all the tissues including the muscle, fascia, connective tissue, and finally the joint itself.
The Untapped Power of the Hamstrings
The other root of the issue for many cyclists is weak and shortened hamstrings. Running down the back of your leg, the hamstrings start at your hips and cross behind the knee joint. Their main job–extend the hip and flex the knee, two of the most important movements in the cycling motion. The upper portion of the hamstring plays a role in the down stroke, and the lower part is active in the up stroke. The muscle is affected in the following ways:
- The upper section of the hamstring muscles attached at the hip can become loose and weak.
- The lower section crossing behind the knee remains bent, and never fully extends.
- This is the portion that will become shortened and tight over time.
- The combination leads to muscle imbalance between the two ends of the muscles. This creates problems, stress, strain, and even serious injury, most common in the knee or lower back.
