Our experienced team of physiotherapists at The Injury Clinic work closely with both triathletes and cyclists. Our physiotherapist, Harry, is a qualified Level 4 Bike Fitter. As a triathlete himself, he understands the importance of feeling both comfortable and powerful whilst on the bike.
We offer a professional physiotherapy bike fit service that considers both your physiology and bike mechanics. The bike fitting process requires a detailed understanding of the muscles and joints that each pedal stroke utilises; we adjust your bike to fit your body type and/or movement patterns.
Our physiotherapy bike fit service is centred around improving the efficiency and effectiveness of each pedal stroke. By doing so, a bike fit looks to mitigate the risk of cycling related injuries or offload certain tissues that may be irritated as a result of cycling mechanics.
There are two options for a bike fit at The Injury Clinic. Option 1 is best suited to those who already know that a bike fit is what they are looking for; Option 2 is best suited for those who may have a cycling-related or triathlon-related injury, but are unsure if a bike fit is required.
Please read below to determine which option will be the best fit for you. If you are unsure, please do not have to contact the clinic (info@theinjuryclinic.com.au) to discuss further.
