“Offering a Pilates for cyclists session in real-time as part of the video was very beneficial.” – Physical Therapist | 2019
“I particularly liked how specific it was to cyclists- every exercise was carefully chosen and could be progressed.” – Physical Therapist Assistant | 2019
“It was very helpful! I work in outpatient orthopedics with patients that have neck and back injuries. Many of these exercises would benefit that group of people, even if a fraction of my patients are interested in cycling.” – Physical Therapist | 2019
“I will think about doing more core work in a neutral to extended position. Most of the exercises I do are neutral to flexion and most of the patients I work with are already in too much flexion. I find that I have also neglected thoracic rotation too often and this served as a good reminder!” – Physical Therapist | 2019
“I will implement this routine into daily practice and several exercises into my rehab clinic protocol” – Physical Therapist Assistant | 2019
