1. Continuing Education Seminar for Health Care Professionals: ‘Cycle Positioning and the Treatment of Common Cycling Injuries’.

Why did I develop this seminar?

It all started with what I thought was an innocent question... “I need a new bike, should I buy a road geometry bike or a triathlon specific bike?” Next came, “Now that I have my new bike, why won’t these old aero bars fit, why do I feel less powerful than I did on my old bike, and why does my neck hurt so much after riding for less than an hour?” Several years later, and after much searching of the web, wondering, reading, tinkering with my bike and attending some fascinating cycling and bike fitting courses, I arrived at answers to these questions and many more. Along the way, I was constantly under the impression that I had to share this information with other health care professionals who were working with cyclists and triathletes. It explained a great deal about the complaints that my patients were having, and it gave me valuable tools to more effectively treat athletes who spend significant time riding bicycles. I am confident that any health care professional who works with cyclists or triathletes (or who cycles themselves) will find this seminar helpful.
