Mountain biking and injuries go hand in hand

MARQUETTE -- For some mountain bikers, injuries can be a dime a dozen, even among veteran bikers, and when accidents happen, occupational therapists like Aaron Lautenschlager of M Therapies at Marquette General Hospital step in to save the day. Lautenschlager specializes in hand therapy, where injuries are most commonly seen among mountain bikers.

"About 85 percent of all mountain bike riders receive some type of injury. Generally, most of them are minor in nature - skin abrasions, soft tissue injuries like tendonitis," said Laughtenschlager, Certified Hand Therapist.
