Physiotherapy for motorbike racers
Physiotherapy for motorbike racing.
What does physiotherapy do for motorbike racers?
Physiotherapy has two functions in motorbike racing:
1.Rehabilitation after an injury or problems related to racing.
2.Exercises for fitness to race.
Where is the physiotherapy done?
In the Superstock 1000 race paddock at Sam West 62 encampment.
At Water Lane Clinic in Wilmslow.
What sort of problems can physiotherapy help with?
1.Reducing pain and increasing range of movement after fractures or injuries.
2.Identifying the cause of pain experienced when riding or racing, and working to eradicate the problem.
3.Arm pump and stiff muscles after riding.
4.Taping to help reduce discomfort when riding.
What does the physiotherapy involve?
Physiotherapy is a combination of exercises, manipulation, stretches and massage.
Exercises start off as easy repetitions and build up in degree of difficulty and effort. Eventually the exercises will mimic riding situations. Lots of abdominal/core work in conjunction with specific muscle group strengthening. Pre season fitness advice.
Manipulation and mobilisation is used to gain flexibility of joints or the spine.
Stretches give flexibility and massage helps soften up and relax tight muscles. Arm pump can’t be cured with physiotherapy but deep massage can help alleviate tightness and discomfort after riding.
How much does it cost?
Consultations in the race paddock are initially free. Thereafter the cost depends on how much time is involved. The price can be negotiated at the initial consultation.
Consultations at Water Lane Clinic, in Wilmslow are at £40 per session.
