Interventions
Mechanically Loaded Neuro-dynamics
Physical therapy management will include 11 visits over 11 weeks, utilizing green medium-resistance bands (4.6-6.9 pounds at 100% elongation). The protocol involves: weeks 3-4 with low tension isometric holds (5-10 seconds) in partial range; weeks 5-7 with dynamic repetitions (10-15 repetitions, 3 sets) in full range; and weeks 8-11 featuring sport-specific load progression with cycling postures and upper extremity tasks. Repetitions will be slow and controlled, with cues to minimize guarding or Valsalva. Progression will depend on symptom response and visual analogue scale scores, with Mechanically Loaded Neuro-dynamics performed 1-2 times weekly in-clinic and daily home exercises.
