Our qualified bike fitters are also experienced physiotherapists, which gives them an excellent understanding of how the body moves and the demands on it when cycling.
During your bike fit at CSPC, you will first be asked a number of questions about your cycling background, injury history, any current issues and training load to determine from the outset your cycling goals.
The physiotherapist will then take your body measurements bilaterally (on both sides) because the human body is rarely symmetrical. They will assess your current strength and flexibility to ensure the new bike set up works for you.
You’ll then get on the bike and the physiotherapist will measure your current cycling position making as many adjustments as necessary to arrive at your optimum cycling position. As it is a physiotherapist carrying out the bike fit, the outcome will be a combination of your individual alignment and strength attributes in combination with how those work best when on your bike.Â
