🚴‍♂️💥 Attention Cyclists! 💥🚴‍♀️

Did you know that most cyclists suffer from knee pain and injuries? 😲 Don't let discomfort slow you down! Whether you're a weekend warrior or a seasoned pro, it’s crucial to understand how to protect those knees while you pedal forward!

Common Causes of Knee Pain in Cyclists!

Overuse Injuries: Chronic knee pain often develops from repetitive stress on the knee joint during cycling. This can lead to conditions like patellofemoral pain syndrome, which is characterized by pain around the kneecap.

Improper Bike Fit: A poorly adjusted bike can significantly contribute to knee pain. Key factors include saddle height, saddle position, and crank length.

Muscle Imbalances: Weakness or tightness in the quadriceps, hamstrings, or iliotibial (IT) band can affect knee alignment and function. Tight muscles can lead to increased strain on the knee joint during pedaling.

Sudden Changes in Training: Rapidly increasing the intensity or duration of cycling workouts can overwhelm the knee joint, especially if transitioning to more challenging terrains.

A huge shoutout to all the passionate riders out there! 🚴‍♂️ Keep your spirits high and your knees healthy with proper stretching, bike fit adjustments, and strength training. 💪🏽✨ We at ESSMC are here to support your journey—let’s keep riding strong!

Here’s to many more miles of smooth cycling ahead! 🚴‍♀️❤️

Going up and down stairs with a walker after surgery can seem daunting. We've put together a simple how-to that you can use to help manage the stairs safely.

Going Up ⬆️
1. Place your walker sideways with the opening towards you. Firmly grasp the stair rail with one hand and your walker with the other.
2. The walker's legs should be against the stair riser with all 4 legs in contact with the stairs. Step up with the non-surgical leg and follow with the surgical leg until both are on the same step

Going Down ⬇️
Repeat Step 1 of walking upstairs, then step down with the surgical leg and follow with the non-surgical leg.

It's important not to attempt stairs until released by your surgeon. If you need pre or post-surgical care, we're here to help.

🚨Are you suffering from Pain, Tight muscles, Headaches, Flexbility issues, or Chronic Soreness that just won't seem to go away? The solution may be Trigger Point Dry Needling (TDN)!🚨
