Exciting times ahead for 2026 - we are offering the opportunity for clinicians to learn from our experienced practitioners.

We are gathering interest for the release of our Clinical Mentorship Program

The program is designed for Physiotherapists who feel they either have a gap in their tool box of clinical hands on skills or for those who what to know how to use hands-on skills as part of a blended approach to rehabilitation.

The mentorship is combined online and in-person offering spanning a 3 month period.

As a clinic we feel it is time to support our profession in restoring the hands-on skillsets to provide patients with what they both want and need and empower physiotherapists to be able to make in session differences to their patients.

We are looking for a release in 2026 and are at the stage of gathering interest

If you are a clinician who is interested please complete the expression of interest form below

Injuries in the Tour de France (2010–2017) 🚴

What elite cycling injuries look like over 8 years
Orthop J Sports Med (2018) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30202769/

Study Purpose

🎯 Goal:
To describe injury patterns, surgeries, and return-to-competition timelines among elite cyclists in the Tour de France between 2010 and 2017.


What Data Were Used?

📊 Retrospective review of cyclists who withdrew due to traumatic injury, based on publicly available and cross-checked sources.
📍 Includes 1584 race entries over 8 years.

Injury Withdrawal Rate

📉 259 cyclists (16% of entries) withdrew because of traumatic injury.
➡️ On average, 17 cyclists/year had to stop racing due to injury.

What Caused Most Withdrawals?

⚡ Acute fractures were the most common injury leading to race withdrawal — making up 49% of injury cases.


Most Common Fractures

📍 The most frequently fractured bones were:
• Clavicle (collarbone) — 21 cases
• Wrist & hand — 11 cases
• Femur, humerus & ribs — 5 each

Surgery After Injury

🛠 Almost 43% of cyclists with fractures needed surgery to fix the injury.
➡️ Highlights how severe many injuries were.


Return to Racing

⏱ Cyclists who had surgical fracture repair took longer to return to competition (median ~77 days) than those who didn’t have surgery (~44 days).

Why This Matters

📌 Elite cyclists face high injury risk, especially fractures.
📌 Serious injuries often mean long recovery and missed competition.
📌 Better injury tracking can improve training and prevention strategies.


Take-Home Message

🚴Cycling at the highest level carries real injury risk — nearly 1 in 6 riders withdrew due to trauma over 8 years.
🩹 Fractures — especially of the clavicle — were the biggest threat to progression in the Tour de France.
💡 Systematic injury data helps teams protect athletes and plan rehab.
