Here, I share valuable tips and tricks to keep your knees happy and pain-free on the saddle. Let's pedal strong and conquer the roads together! 💪🚲🔑

Here are some effective tips to prevent anterior knee pain while cycling:

1️⃣ Ensure Proper Bike Fit: A bike that is adjusted to your body proportions and aligned correctly can significantly reduce stress on your knees. Consult a professional to optimise your bike fit.

2️⃣ Maintain Proper Foot Position: Pay attention to your foot alignment - keep your knees in line with your toes while pedalling, avoiding excessive inward or outward rotation.

3️⃣ Pedal with Proper Technique: Maintain a smooth pedal stroke, distributing the effort throughout the entire revolution to minimise excessive strain on the knees.

4️⃣ Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to any discomfort or pain in your knees. If you experience persistent or worsening symptoms, take a break, and consult a healthcare professional.

5️⃣ Incorporate Strength & Conditioning: A good quality strength and conditioning program targeting fundamental movements can help improve muscular imbalances, stability, and support around the knee joint.

Remember, these tips serve as guidelines and individual needs may vary. If you're experiencing chronic knee pain or have specific concerns, consult with a healthcare professional or a qualified cycling coach for personalised advice. Let's prioritise knee health and enjoy pain-free rides together! 🙌🚴‍♀️🔒
