  • Spring weather got you excited to pedal the miles away? Ever heard that song "which one of these is not like the other one?" You are unique and deserve a fit unique to you - protocols and checklists used by most fit shops do not apply at UVA.. Proper bike health is a combination of rider position, training, and drills and exercises for you to reach your potential as an athlete. The best way to identify these aspects and prep for a successful cycling season is to get fit by a medical professional who understands the sport.

Principles of Injury Rehabilitation

The majority of running injuries are related to overuse. We do too much, too fast, too soon. Most injuries occur during a transition period-a period where our training is undergoing some type of change. Common examples include increasing mileage too quickly, changing intensity of training, such as moving from a base/distance phase to a strength or speed phase, changing the surface one trains on, or even changing the type of running shoes. Rarely do I see injuries in folks who train very consistently, unless they are in the middle of a transition phase. The transition, rather than the absolute amount of training, seems to be liked closely to injury.
