Don’t Let Your Bike Ride End with a Back Strain

Taking your bike on the road? Learn why proper lifting form is essential to keeping your spine healthy before you even hit the trail.

Whether you’re heading to the Santa Fe Dam or chasing trails in the Foothills, be extra mindful when loading your bicycle into your vehicle. It’s easy to rush, but lifting an awkward frame without engaging your core or using proper leg form is a recipe for a painful back strain. Moving too quickly or twisting while lifting can sideline your fitness goals before the ride even begins! If you do find yourself feeling a tweak or persistent ache after your weekend adventures, our Licensed Massage Therapist, Brittany, is here to help you recover, release tension, and get you back in the saddle.
