Neck Pain in a Cyclist. "My neck is sore at the end of every ride." "Let's check your cycling posture," I said. We didn't have his bike in the clinic, so I replicated his bike fit on a weight rack (image 3). It could also be done on a table (image 4) to get the approximate seat to bar height. This could even be done in quadruped (on hands and knees on the floor). This position would identify the posture dysfunction as well.

The problem is quite evident in the first image. His shoulders are elevated and there is overactivity of his traps, levators, and other neck muscles that like to tighten up and complain from overuse in these types of postures.

The solution was to FIRST HAVE HIM FEEL WHERE HIS SHOULDERS ARE IN THE INCORRECT POSITION, THEN HAVE HIM FEEL WHERE THEY ARE IN THE IDEAL POSITION. If the goal is to change a posture or movement pattern, you must develop the awareness and "feel" of the correct posture/movement and "feel" when it is not correct.

The simple cue I gave him was, "Pull your shoulders down away from your ears." His immediate response was, "My neck feels more relaxed." I told him during his rides that his shoulders will naturally want to ride up to his ears because that posture is ingrained in his brain, but to frequently "check in" to his shoulders and make the correction so he can re-train his brain to this new posture.

SIDE NOTE: He also had a collapse of his spine between the shoulder blades (spine shifts forward towards the handle bars). This is just as common as shoulder elevation in hand support postures and the corrective cue is, "Push yourself away from the handle bars, floor, etc."
