Bike Fit Physio
Your recovery powered by Physio Action
A Personalised Bike Fitting, Led by a Physio
Every cyclist is different, and so is every bike. A Physio Action bike fit is a customised, individual assessment of you and your bike, aimed at improving performance and reducing your risk of injury. Because it's physio-led, we look beyond the bike itself and assess how your body moves, so the changes we make actually fit you, not just the frame.
Whether you're a recreational rider or cycling competitively, a professional bike fit can make a real difference to comfort, efficiency and long-term injury prevention. Our cycling physiotherapy service is available across our Leeds, Harrogate, Ilkley, Guiseley and Chapel Allerton clinics.
What Does a Physio-Led Bike Fit Involve?
- Stage 1, Pre-assessment - a conversation about you, your cycling habits, your injury history and what you want to get from the session
- Stage 2, Current bike set-up - we assess and document your existing set-up as a reference point for any adjustments
- Stage 3, Individual physiotherapy assessment - we check your flexibility and strength off the bike, across the joints and muscle groups used in cycling
- Stage 4, Individual adjustments - tailored recommendations for you and your bike, with adjustments made during the session and explained as we go
- Stage 5, Re-evaluation - we reassess you on the bike to make sure you're happy and comfortable with the new set-up
Within 24 hours of your appointment, we'll email you a bespoke action plan covering your pre-fit measurements, the adjustments made to your bike, and a tailored physiotherapy treatment plan if one is needed.

Bike fit physio - FAQ's
How quickly can I be seen?
Most new patients are seen within 24-48 hours across our Leeds, Harrogate, Ilkley, Guiseley and Chapel Allerton clinics.
Do I need a GP referral?
No - book directly online or by phone.
How long does a bike fit take?
The bike fit with physio assessment takes around 1.5 hours plus a follow-up; a standalone bike fit takes about an hour. See the pricing options above for full details.
What's the difference between the bike fit options?
The full option includes a physiotherapy assessment alongside the bike fit itself, useful if you have niggles, pain or a history of injury. The standalone bike fit focuses on the bike set-up, and we'll advise if a physio assessment would help.
Will you actually adjust my bike, or just tell me what to change?
Both - we make the adjustments during your session, and talk you through why we're making each change.
How soon will I get my results?
You'll receive your bespoke action plan by email within 24 hours of your appointment, covering your measurements, the adjustments made, and any recommended exercise plan.
Do I need to have an injury to book a bike fit?
Not at all - a bike fit is just as valuable for improving comfort and performance as it is for treating or preventing injury.
