The Six Mobility Exercises Every Cyclist Needs

You finish a ride and your hips and back are stiff. You stretch for a few minutes, it loosens slightly, and you forget about it. Then it happens again next ride. And the one after that.

That nagging hip tightness or low back pain on your rides? It's not random. And it won't fix itself.

Most cyclists try to manage it with some half-hearted and generic stretching. But that rarely addresses the underlying mobility restriction causing the problem.

And the longer you leave it, the more your body compensates. Your stroke gets less efficient. Your power drops. What started as a nagging hip becomes a back that limits your miles; or pulls you off the bike entirely.

As a physical therapist who has treated thousands of cyclists, I see this pattern constantly. And I've seen what actually works.
