A Physiotherapy Bike Fit takes into account your:

• Posture and body proportions

• Flexibility

• Injury history

• Training history

• Riding style

• Goals

to customise your bike fit and optimise performance, comfort and injury prevention.

A Physiotherapy Bike Fit helps to optimise your posture, pedal stroke and joint angles by fine-tuning your saddle height, handlebar reach and cleat positioning.

This will promote symmetrical movement patterns and improve your overall cycling mechanics so that you can:

• Generate power more efficiently

• Minimise wasted energy

• Reduce compensatory muscle fatigue

• Enhance endurance

A Physiotherapy Bike Fit plays a crucial role in improving comfort, preventing injury and managing existing musculoskeletal conditions whilst on the bike.

An improper fit can lead to excessive strain on your body, including:

• Knee pain

• Hip pain

• Lower back pain

• Neck pain

• Hand pain

• Tingling or numbness in the hands and feet

An individualised approach to your bike fit can alleviate pain and pressure points, and enhance long-term riding enjoyment. This will allow for more consistent and pain-free training.
