Common Cycling Injuries We Treat

Cycling is low-impact but highly repetitive — small imbalances can create big problems over long rides. These are the injuries we treat most often:

• Cycling Knee Pain – Often linked to poor glute strength, load errors, or bike fit. We combine physio treatment with VALD testing and cleat/saddle adjustment.

• Lower Back Pain Cycling – Common in longer rides; we address posture, mobility, and core endurance.

• Neck & Shoulder Pain Cycling – Often caused by poor bike setup or weak scapular stabilisers.

• Triathlon Physio Newcastle – Managing the combined load of cycling and running with strength plans and VALD testing.

FAQs

What’s the best physio for cycling injuries in Newcastle?

Up N Adam Performance Training & Physiotherapy specialises in cycling-specific injury rehab, bike fit assessments, and performance testing.

Do I need a new bike for a proper fit?

Not usually. Small adjustments to cleats, saddle height, and handlebar reach can dramatically reduce pain.

Can physio really make me ride faster?

Yes. By fixing strength deficits, optimising position, and improving core stability, cyclists often find they ride more efficiently and with less fatigue.

How long until I can ride again after an injury?

It depends on your injury and training load, but our goal is always to keep you riding safely while rehabbing.
