In this SheADV Trailside, we host an honest panel discussion on Getting Back in the Saddle After Injury, created to support women riders navigating recovery, confidence, and a safe return to riding.

The panel features experts in training and rehabilitation, including Shal Wilson, Erin Sanzone, PA-C, Jess Hofherr, and BJ Hessler. Together, they discuss the science and psychology of injury recovery, best practices for healing—such as nutrition, sleep, patience, and progressive movement—and how to approach returning to the bike thoughtfully.

The conversation also covers practical tips on ergonomics, body position, and bike setup, alongside personal stories that offer reassurance for riders at every stage of recovery. Whether you’re recovering from a major injury or managing smaller setbacks, this session provides realistic guidance and encouragement to ride forward with confidence.
