I’m sure most of you have experienced Low Back Pain (LBP) at some point during your life whether it be on or off the bike. It is estimated that the incidence of LBP is close to 50% in the general population alone. Low back pain is also one of the most common sites of pain in both professional and recreational cyclists. In one study low back pain (LBP) was reported to be responsible for up to 45% of all nontraumatic injuries in a group of 101 professional cyclists over a 1 year period of time. Epidemiological studies have also estimated that over 30% of recreational cyclists cite LBP as a common source of musculoskeletal pain during cycling as well. Low back pain can be caused by trauma (ie: crashing) but the focus of this article will be on nontraumatic sources of LBP in cycling.
