drsusieg.com DR. SUSIE GRONSKI —

A licensed doctor of physical therapy, certified pelvic rehabilitation practitioner, international teacher, and creator of one-to-one and self-paced health programs that help men with pelvic pain become experts in treating themselves.

  4. Sexual appreciation 
  5. Sphincteric control 

The major health knock on cycling has been its potentially negative effects on pelvic health. Rigorous training on a thin bicycle saddle (seat) can cause unwanted rubbing and prolonged pressure that leads to decreased blood flow.

In men, cycling has been linked to testicular pain, numbness, and infertility in extreme cases. In women, unchecked pelvic distress can lead to pain, incontinence and girdle distress.
