Made for riders
The four things a long day in the saddle does to your body
Each session starts from what the road did to you today. These are the patterns we see most on multi-day tours, and what we do about them.
Neck & shoulder stiffness
Holding your head up on a long descent or into a headwind locks the neck and traps. We unlock the cervical spine and shoulder girdle.
Knee strain
Climbing days and a saddle that is not quite right both show up in the knees. Joint work and herbal compresses calm inflammation before tomorrow's ride.
Soft-tissue fatigue
Quads, calves and glutes full of lactic acid. Deep tissue work with herbal oils flushes the fatigue and restores range of motion.
