Many people on the bike struggle with some sort of bodily pain, but very few actually take the necessary measures to correct the pain. That's right, most pain you experience can be corrected. And in this episode, that's exactly what we dive into with our brand-new Dialed Health trainer, Josh Rasmussen, who specializes in corrective exercises for cyclist. We cover strength protocols to fix everything from shoulder impingement and upper cross syndrome, to low back pain and knee pain. We also explain the difference between tendinosis and tendonitis, and why it's important not to confuse the two. 
I personally love this conversation. It was so fun for me as a trainer to have the trainer camaraderie again. I used to get it when working in gyms with other trainers and since opening my own studio, that's something I've been missing. I think when listening, you'll be able to pick up on mine excitement. I progressively get more and more fired up as the conversation goes on as we share some very valuable and specific protocols for overcoming these pain points. If you struggle with any sort of pain on your bike, or in your life, this episode is for you.
