Fall Bike Riding Tip:
Fall is a great time to enjoy
the outdoors. Biking can be a
great way to enjoy fall colors.
Cooler temperatures can
make a bike ride much more
comfortable. However,
avoiding injury with biking can
be challenging. Keep these
few basic tips in mind:
•Have your bike sized and
adjusted by a professional.
•Bigger is not better. A bigger
seat can put pressure around
the perineal area.
•Ride in good posture.
•Stretch arms, legs, and spine
after riding.
•Crosstraining can be helpful
in avoiding overuse injury.
Whether it is mountain or
road biking, staying injury-
free or addressing any
injuries early will keep you on
those trails or roads.

| We care for... |
Physical therapy involves treatment of all injured tissue including
the muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. The
body is an integrated system that works together for successful
movement. In physical therapy, we evaluate and treat all of these
structures and the interactions between these structures for
return to activities such as work or sport. During treatment, we
are monitoring movement patterns and function to return you to
maximal level of function.
