Anatomy of cycling injuries, for a stronger recovery After he hit the deck hard, was knocked unconscious and spent four days in hospital in September 1969, discomfort became a constant companion of Eddy Merckx’s career. But what happened exactly after an injury and why some riders can't come and reach their former glory?

Natasha suffered a hip injury 15 months ago, when she first came to MIHP she couldn’t cycle or run at all. She thought she had slim chances of ever being able to race a triathlon again.

She has been on a rehab journey with us the last 12 months working with consultant Oli Williamson and has done bike fits with Phil Burt Innovation

“Between the two of them, not only have they got me back cycling and running, but I’ve got a new half marathon PB, and I’m racing my first triathlon, with a view to doing Ironman France in June. I couldn’t have done it without them”

We are so proud of how far you have come Natasha 🙌🏻🚴🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

“When you have catastrophic injuries, your body almost has to learn a different way to work again.”

In Rouleur: ANATOMY OF CYCLING INJURIES, FOR A STRONGER RECOVERY
What exactly happens in our body when we’re injured? It’s time to delve deep into the structural, neurological and psychological repercussions.

Anatomy of cycling injuries, for a stronger recovery After he hit the deck hard, was knocked unconscious and spent four days in hospital in September 1969, discomfort became a constant companion of Eddy Merckx’s career. But what happened exactly after an injury and why some riders can't come and reach their former glory?

Shocked and saddened to hear of Richard Moore’s passing.
He was a dear friend and, really, the only reason I’m a published author - such was his help and encouragement to get me started. Not that I have ever got near to his sublime level of writing.
I owe him so much.
But more importantly we have all lost a great voice of cycling, a great man, a friend who was always always there for you.
RIP Richard - we will really miss you.
