Ride Stronger. Ride Longer.
Serving cyclists in Easley, Greenville, Anderson, and surrounding Upstate South Carolina communities.
Cycling is repetitive. Thousands of pedal strokes every ride. If something is off, strength, mobility, or position, the bike exposes it fast. Every rotation repeats the problem until it becomes pain.
Research shows approximately 85% of recreational cyclists will experience an injury, and 60% of those are overuse injuries affecting the knee. Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome is the most common diagnosis. Most of the time, it’s not a crash that puts cyclists on the sidelines.
It’s three root causes that build quietly over time:
The hips and deep core muscles are the engine of an efficient pedal stroke. When those areas are weak, something else compensates and that compensation shows up as knee pain, hip pain, or lower back tightness that gets worse the longer you’re in the saddle.
Cycling demands sustained flexion for extended periods. Without adequate mobility in the hips and thoracic spine, your body can’t maintain an efficient position on the bicycle and riders pay the price in power loss, discomfort, and overuse injuries that return every season.
Most cyclists have a stronger side. Over thousands of pedal strokes, that imbalance compounds, creating overuse injuries on one side, reduced efficiency on the other, and a cycling program built on a foundation that’s slowly breaking down.
Your knee doesn’t hurt because of your knee. It hurts because of how you move, how you load, and what’s been quietly off for thousands of pedal strokes. That’s what we look for.
Our team has direct experience working with cyclists dealing with back and spine pain, one of the most common and most mismanaged cycling injuries in the sport. We understand cycling biomechanics, the positional demands of long rides, and the specific movement patterns that create problems for riders at every level.
We also know that most patients don’t need to stop riding to fix the problem. Our physical therapists work around your training, not against it, keeping you on the bike while we address the root cause.
Performance improves when you fix what’s actually driving the problem, whether that’s mobility, strength, load tolerance, or the cycling technique and movement patterns affecting your efficiency.
Our cycling program combines four areas of focus:
We identify and close the strength gap between sides. Strengthening the glutes, quads, and hamstrings leads directly to increased power output and balanced force production means a more efficient pedal stroke with less breakdown over time.
Hip stability and range of motion are directly connected to power output and injury prevention.
Our physical therapists address both, building the mobility to get into position and the strength to hold it.
Can your body handle the volume you’re actually training at?
We build capacity so long rides, back-to-back days, and hard efforts stop being the thing that sets you back.
Sometimes it’s not weakness. If your training is part of the problem, we’ll tell you.
Then we’ll figure out what to change so you don’t have to choose between riding and recovering.

Our cycling assessment uses performance metrics to identify what’s limiting you and track whether the rehabilitation program is actually working.
We measure force production through each leg to identify exactly how much imbalance exists between sides and track that imbalance closing over time as part of your cycling program.
We assess hip and thoracic mobility to identify the restrictions affecting your position on the bicycle and your ability to generate and sustain power efficiently.
We use slow-motion video to catch inefficiencies force data doesn’t show.
Where applicable, we include a brief cycling assessment on the indoor trainer, connecting what we see in the clinic to what’s actually happening on the bike.
Nope. In the state of South Carolina, you do not need a referral to be seen by a physical therapist.
MYOMUV is an out-of-network, direct-pay physical therapy and performance clinic. We intentionally chose this model so we can provide longer one-on-one sessions, individualized treatment plans, and a higher level of care without the limitations often created by insurance-based systems.
For many active adults and athletes, that means:
We know choosing out-of-network care is an important decision, so we created a full guide explaining how our model works, why we chose it, and what to consider when comparing providers.
Your initial assessment is 75 minutes. We use that time to understand your goals, your training or activity history, and what’s currently holding you back.
From there, we assess how your body moves, handles load, and where the real limitations are coming from, not just where it hurts.
By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear understanding of what’s going on, what needs to improve, and how we’ll help you progress moving forward.
Yes. We offer an audit of your current cycling program and can build strength and conditioning programming designed around your goals as a cyclist.
If your current program is contributing to your injuries, we’ll identify what needs to change and help you build something that supports your riding instead of working against it.
A good bike fit is important to have no matter what, but if you experience pains even when you’re not riding, then your bike fit is probably not the primary issue.
In most cases you don’t need to completely stop riding the bike, but we may modify the volume of your training depending on the severity of the issue.
NO! Pain is not a normal part of cycling. With the right training and movement conditioning, it is totally possible to ride without pain, ESPECIALLY as you get older.
If cycling injuries, knee pain, hip discomfort, or power imbalance are affecting your performance, physical therapy for cyclists at MyoMuv is your next step.
Our physical therapists identify what’s driving the problem, build a cycling program around your body and your goals, and keep you on the bike while we fix it.
