Default Cycling Medico in Sydney

This past season I have battled with severed back pain during longer events (a shame since my legs appear to be good for them). It prevented me from staying in the front bunch during the Muswellbrook Explorer in the last 40km.

Since then I have seen a Physio who put me on to some core/back strength exercises which seem to have improved the situation a bit.

However though it didn't twig to ask at the time. I think my legs may be of different lengths (a little bit more of a difference than most people). So my question is does anyone know of a good cycling knowlegable medico in the Sydney Metro area who can sort out if I actually do have some assymetry which needs correcting through either positional change on the bike or the modification of equipment?

I have heard of Steve Hogg. But there seems to be a polarity of opinion about him and his methods and the fact that he actually has no real medical qualifications leads me to be naturally sceptical.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Hi Tafi

Steve Hogg specialises in fitting you to the bike which may eliminate the problems that you are having. Worked for me!
He isn't medical and will rewcommend you to someone who is, I can't think of the name of the Chiro but he is supposed to be good.

Cheers

Geoff
