Looking at shoulder positioning
How placing holding your chest up and engaging your shoulders places them in a position the relieves neck pain
Bike saddles and the importance of comfort
It is quite simple if the bike saddle is not comfortable then you won’t sit correctly on the seat. If you don’t sit correctly on the seat most of the time you will create excess pressure in the lower back which in turn will cause shoulder pain and potentially knee pain, from not recruiting the glutes.
Bike Set up
The reason for setting your bike up correctly is to avoid pain whilst peddling – pain in the shoulders, lower back, knees and neck. Most of the pain comes from expecting the body to function in an anatomically incorrect position under load. In an unusual position and an un-natural position for the body to be in.
