Pain sucks. Leg cramps, foot & calf problems, shoulder issues, sciatic pain from paddling… it’s pretty common to get hurt in our outdoor sports. Join Tiffany Hutchens from Move Better Orthopedic Massage (and Team No Sleep) as she covers how to treat chronic injuries from training as well as ways to keep pain at bay during a race. She’ll demonstrate a variety of techniques from foam rolling, using kinesio-tape, the importance of bike fitting/alignment, and self massage tools.
