Bike Fitting FAQ
A bike fit involves altering the 5 contact points (saddle, both pedals, handlebars) to optimize the angles of the ankle, knee, hip, shoulders and elbow joints. This ensures efficient use of the muscles and maximal comfort. Correct alignment of each body part, especially the knee over the foot, helps to reduce pain and prevent injury. The aim is to get you in the ideal position for your cycling goals, which could be a position to increase comfort, reduce pain, or a more aerodynamic position for competition.
Physiotherapist have extensive knowledge of how the body works and moves. A normal bike fitter will be able to perform a standard bike fit, whereas we will provide a tailored bike fit. We take into consideration any previous injuries, any weak areas that pose a potential injury risk, any current pains you have reported, and how you actually plan to use your bike.
The problem with trying to achieve the ideal riding position is that a bike can only be altered so far, and often not enough. This is where a bike fit with a physio really makes a difference. We can start working on your body, with various stretches and exercises, to help it get into and hold itself in the ideal position.
If you are booking a bike fit because you are getting a particular pain when cycling, we will be able to fit you to your bike to reduce your pain, and provide you with home exercises and advice to reduce the pain further.

Please bring your bike and cycling shoes. We advise you to wear clothing that you would wear when cycling. If you don’t wear anything specific for cycling, please wear shorts and a vest top. We have changing facilities at all our venues. Bike fits involve a lot of getting on an off the bike, and a lot of cycling, so you may want to bring a bottle of water
