Problems arising from structural mis-alignment.

Note: That most people do not realize they have structural imbalances until they are overwhelmed by repetitive strain injuries. Injuries such as this can be career threatening unless handled with a full and experiential knowledge of this subject.

For cyclists there is a large amount of stress to the spine, shoulders and shoulder blades, hip, knee and the ankle joints. ( Fortunately for you, you do not get the impact stresses that runners get from pounding the ground.  At times it is difficult to gain the feedback from cycling itself to make structural changes that can improve your riding technique.
