PROFESSIONAL MUSCULOSKELETAL ASSESSMENT AND BIKE FITTING

Every cyclist has a unique body type. Correct bike fit and position are extremely important. This benefits each cyclist to improve efficiency, power breathing and comfort. Proper bike positioning in conjunction with a specialised musculoskeletal evaluation will reduce the potential for injuries as well as assist in recovery from existing injury. A cycling specific assessment will benefit road cyclists, mountain bikers, cycle tourers, etc.

Cyclefit is an assessment combining the latest biomechanical, sports medicine and physiotherapy research and literature.

The assessment consists of three components:

Musculoskeletal examination to determine joint position and movement, muscle imbalance, muscle strength, muscle length and habitual movement patterns. A specific exercise program will be taught to correct existing muscle imbalance
Video observation of pedaling mechanics on a windtrainer
Bike fitting adjustments to seat height, seat anterior/posterior position, cleat angle, stem height, etc.
