Cycling, whether it’s a leisurely Sunday ride or a world-class race, is a physically demanding sport, and whilst it offers freedom, fitness and thrill, it’s not without its dangers, and from Olympic champions to Tour de France hopefuls, cycling injuries have impacted even the best in the sport, often changing the course of their careers in seconds.

Sports-related injuries are a reality for many people, not just professional athletes, and whether it’s a sprained ankle from a morning jog, back pain after lifting weights at the gym, or a lingering knee issue from weekend football, these injuries can disrupt daily life, limit mobility and delay progress toward fitness goals.
