Cyclists often experience stiffness in their upper backs due to their cycling posture and muscle engagement. The sustained position, especially with drop handle bars, while cycling can lead to muscular ache in the upper back, especially when the back muscles (posterior chain) are not adequately conditioned.
Additionally, tight and rounded shoulders, common in cyclists, can cause problems due to the interconnectivity of the spine, leading to stiffness in the upper back.
To improve your posture as well as those cycling aches in your upper back try this simple foam roll and strengthening combination.
