Bike Fitting
A Physiotherapy-Based Approach to Cycling Biomechanics
About Bike Fitting
Bike fitting is a clinical assessment and adjustment process designed to optimize the relationship between a cyclist and their bicycle. Unlike standard fittings focused solely on equipment, our physiotherapy-based bike fitting integrates an understanding of human biomechanics, musculoskeletal health, and injury prevention.
This service is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing discomfort, pain, or recurring injuries while cycling, as well as those looking to improve efficiency.
What to Expect During a Physiotherapy Bike Fit:
- Musculoskeletal Assessment: Clinical assessment of injuries or limitations.
- Dynamic Position Analysis: Observation of your riding position and pedaling mechanics in motion (on your own bike, set up on a trainer).
- Bike Adjustment: Adjustments to saddle height and position, handlebar reach, cleat alignment, and other components to better match your physical needs.
- Education & Guidance: Discussion of factors contributing to discomfort or inefficiency, with advice on injury prevention and self-management strategies.
Who It's For / What to Expect
This service is ideal for cyclists of all levels, whether you ride road, gravel, or triathlon bikes. Physiotherapist Phil Burman leads all fittings, bringing extensive expertise with over 2,000 completed. His experience ranges from recreational riders and weekend warriors to club racers, national-level elite athletes, and Olympians.
Common Issues Addressed:
- Knee, hip, or lower back pain during or after riding
- Neck or shoulder tension related to posture
- Hand or foot numbness due to pressure or positioning
- Discomfort during long rides or training sessions
- Performance limitations related to poor biomechanics
