April 27, 2013When you think of cycling at the moment, Lance Armstrong and the drugs scandal come to mind. What is less likely to come to mind are the sorts of problems that happen in the feet of cyclists. A look around the cycling communities show that problems with the feet are common and cyclists are often asking about them in forums. The biomechanics of cycling are so important to prevent injury and improve performance. The foot is the basis for that biomechanics, so every thing need to be right at that level. The shoes used for cycling are tight and large loads go through the foot when cycling, so they are subjected to a lot of force that can cause foot problems. Pinched nerves in the ball of the foot a common problem and is pain further up the leg if the foot alignment on the pedal is not optimal.
