The interaction between cyclist and their bike is highly complex and influenced by many variables. There is an optimal set up to achieve the ideal biomechanical and aerodynamic position for the type of riding you do. Our bike fit service combines the knowledge and skill of an experienced physio, together with the unique technical skills of a bike fitting specialist to fit you to the bike to achieve this – or to fit the bike to accommodate injury, reduced flexibility or just to make your riding a little more comfortable. This complete approach enables us to achieve the optimal balance between performance, comfort and injury prevention.
What is involved in a bike fit?
- Pre analysis interview to assess your needs, goals and injury history.
- Thorough musculoskeletal screening to assess your biomechanics, weaknesses, restrictions and other potential problems which may affect the final set up of the bike. You will also be provided with a home program to address any of these issues, improve riding efficiency and minimise injury risk.
- Measurement of your lower limb length to help determine the optimal parameters of your bike set up.
- Video analysis of your riding position is conducted to assess the current “fit” of your bike before adjustments are made. We use this information combined with the findings from your interview, biomechanical screening and lower limb measurements to determine your optimal setup.
- You will be provided with a post assessment report, outlining the assessment findings, any adjustments made and suggestions for ongoing rehab exercises needed to improve mechanics and decrease injury risk.
- You should allow 90 mins in total for your bike fit appointment.
