Powertalk : Saddle Sore in cycling – an MSK Approach to Pelvic Pain

The topic of pelvic pain in cycling is often not spoken of freely. It is a topic that many cyclists will not feel comfortable talking about with coaches, bike shop assistants or even their GP. As a result of this, the lack of conversation about all things pelvis pain can result in cyclists suffering in silence

Cycling shouldn’t be uncomfortable and cyclists should know about their pelvic regions to avoid pain, discomfort and potential harm.

This talk is for MSK physios who want to expand their knowledge of how to assess, diagnose and treat pain in the pelvic region. It will also be useful for Pelvic Health Physios who want to expand their MSK approach to Pelvic Pain.
