What It Is
Bike fitting is the process of adjusting your bike to suit your body so you can ride more efficiently, comfortably, and with reduced risk of injury. At Courtyard Clinic, bike fitting is provided by a physiotherapist with specialist knowledge of both cycling mechanics and human movement. This ensures that every adjustment supports your performance while also protecting your long term health.
Common reasons for choosing bike fitting
A professional bike fit can help with:
- Improving comfort during long rides
- Reducing pain or discomfort in the back, neck, shoulders, or knees
- Preventing numbness in the hands, feet, or saddle area
- Maximising power and efficiency
- Supporting recovery from cycling-related injuries
- Optimising performance for competitive or recreational riding
What to expect
Your bike fit starts with a detailed assessment of your riding style, goals, and any existing discomfort or injuries. We then measure key body positions and movements while you are on your bike. Adjustments may be made to saddle height, handlebar position, cleat alignment, and other contact points to achieve your ideal fit. You will also receive physiotherapy-informed advice on maintaining your position, building strength, and making future adjustments as needed.
