Every single person is different and unique and cyclists are no different. A Physio Action Bike Fitting is a customised individual assessment of the cyclist and the bike to optimise efficiency therefore improving performance and reducing injury risk.

The Bike Fitting
Stage 1 - Pre Assessment
Before your assessment we will evaluate the information you have provided for us on your pre assessment forms. We then start with a conversation about you and your cycling habits and what you want to gain from the assessment. We will discuss your injury history and do a general health screen.
Stage 2 – Current Bike Set Up
We will assess your current bike set up and document specific measurements which will be used as a reference point for future potential bike adjustments.
Stage 3 – Individual Physiotherapy Assessment
We will then assess your flexibility and strength off the bike in all the appropriate joints and muscle groups that are used during cycling.
Stage 4 – Individual Adjustments
Following our assessment we will then make specific tailored recommendations for you and your bike. We will create a specific action plan for you and for your bike and explain why we recommend these changes and the effect these changes will make to you.
During the session we will make some adjustments to your bike as detailed in your plan.
Stage 5 – Re evaluation
Following the adjustments we will reassess you on your bike and make sure you are happy and comfortable with your new bespoke bike set up.
