Upper Back Pain Relief and Prevention For Cyclists | Rehab and Bike Fit For Upper Back & Neck Pain

[@jbank4394]

Hey just wanted to say thanks for video, it help relieved my left upper back pain. It was more of a nerve type pain coming over the left shoulder. I have a S22i NordicTrack bike and yes my fit to the bars was too low and far. Change that, but more impressive was the first exercise with one arm behind the back that took away that pain that not even meds could. Within 2 days I was cycling without discomfort.👍👍🚴🚴

Besides the glasses also I believe the cycling cap with the front part down can make you do this movement a lot and cause this issue. I had it for this reason, I believe, since it was my first time with the cap on a 6h ride and it was raining and the glasses where on the helmet, not allowing the cap to be upwards. Sorry if I didnt explain very well but english is not my mother language. Thanks for the very informative video! 👍

I ride pain free but I also gave up on diamond frame bikes! I ride a recumbent now and would never consider going back. I have speed and comfort whereas the diamond frame only gave me speed. BTW lots of negatives being stated about recumbents by people who have not ridden a recumbent . 3:33 look at what he says and look at what he has to do to see? I do not have to hold my head up anymore , or have body weight on my hands and arms, or sit on 6 square inches of saddle ! Bacchetta Giro A20 and I lead rides with it . Life is too short not to ride in comfort.

I have pain on my neck and upper back. My traps and neck muscle becomes weak. I think this is due to cycling for almost 1 year with a big frame for me(5'7) but my gravel bike ST 54, TT 56. Pain in both side of my neck, shoulder, scapula and in the rotator area. I want to try your strengthening exercise.

I Get this pain every ride… after 45-50mins… i can stop and relief the pain and start again and stop again after 15-20mins.. I never get this pain when on trainer (Zwift) on the same bike…. 😢

[@DrAlexRitza]

It must be your neck again and it being different outside vs inside. Maybe riding more on tops/less on hoods or drops? A fit would be the next step if you cant find the postural problem. Doesnt sound like a body problem, Sounds like a fit problem.

@@DrAlexRitza funny thing is. Like today i did a 60min non stop ride - almost all out workout. A lot of time in low aero position on hoods. Looking more down on the road. I was in the drops too. No pain at all, just my legs that stopped me today.

[@Mathiasbendiksen]

Its not the first time when riding fast, more Looking down, trying to lean more forward and down for aero i feel no or less pain

[@Mathiasbendiksen]

@@DrAlexRitza did 75minutes without feeling anything today. Omg! I did a fast ride, So next i will ride slow and try to have the same positions. I really really hope I have found a way to ride pain free. Gonna cry

I have had upper chronic back pain prior to cycling. Now I notice it's returning the next day after a long ride. But I couldn't feel the pain during cycling.
