Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bike Fit?

If you want to increase your speed, power output, pedal stroke efficiency and reduce injury, Melbourne CBD Physio will assess the full picture of your injury history, cycling history, mobility, strength, pedal stroke, cleat position and saddle position. We’ll work to immediately correct your positioning and design an individualised plan for you to conquer your cycling goals.

Our Bike Fitting Melbourne expert, physiotherapist Nick Rees, has worked with weekend warriors, competitive road cyclists, mountain bikers, triathletes and complete beginners to help improve their overall performance and comfort on the bike.

Cycling conditions we assess

As a repetitive movement, your technique, strength and mobility could be limiting your performance and increasing your risk of injury.

Our approach to Bike Fitting For Melbourne Cyclists

Your Bike fitting session is a 2 hour individual consultation with our expertly trained physiotherapist, Nick Rees. Your session will involve:

  • An investigation into your injury and cycling history and goals
  • Biomechanical analysis
  • Footwear and cleat analysis
  • Video and gait analysis
  • Optimising your seat and body positioning

With advanced video technology, cycling equipment, VALD Performance analysis and a fully equipped Keiser gym, we analyse and implement the crucial requirements for your health and cycling success.

Why our Bike Fit sessions work

Bike Fit at Melbourne CBD Physio will help you get the most out of your cycling by improving your technique, efficiency and risk of injury.

During your session, we do an in-depth assessment of you and your bike, provide immediate feedback and adjustment, and then work to correct and manage your positioning in line with your cycling goals. You will ride away an already changed cyclist, carrying a detailed understanding of optimal technique, positioning and ways to manage your body.

We will give you specific take home programming on how to adjust your technique, improve strength and mobility and protect yourself from injury. We will also offer advice on how to safely increase your cycling volume, power and speed based on your individual presentation.
