Bicycle and Running Injuries

Cycling and running injuries are normally caused by overuse, incorrect posture and biomechanics. Only 7% of cycling injuries result from collision.

Common cycling and running issues are:
• Neck and back pain

Cycling also can cause:

With the increasing cycling in the community, especially on the Peninsula, we are seeing an increasing number of cycling issues. Addressing these issues can form an integral part of managing injuries.
