What is a Bike Fit?
Bike fitting is a specialized appointment aimed at enhancing a cyclist's positioning on their bike. Everything from the pedals, the saddle and the handlebars can be modified to optimize performance, comfort or help prevent injuries. This appointment requires every cyclist to bring their bike, shoes and all the clothes they typically wear to ride.
What to Expect From a Bike Fit?
Each session begins with an assessment of your condition, including a review of your past medical history and a discussion about your cycling background. Your bike will then be mounted on a trainer, where we will start evaluating your position and addressing any discomforts. Your therapist will adjust key elements in your shoes, saddle, and handlebars as necessary. It's important to wear your cycling clothes during the session, as you will be required to bike for a few minutes at a time. By the end of the appointment, you will receive a detailed chart outlining key measurements from your previous and new bike fit
Is Bike Fitting covered by insurance?
The short answer is yes. If your insurance covers physiotherapy then you are covered at the same percentage as regular appointments. All bike fits are done by a licensed physiotherapist having completed a BikePT training. Lucky for you, if you have more other aches and pains, your physiotherapist can help you for those as well. Being experts in biomechanics, sports rehabilitation and injury management, your physio is perfectly placed to help you manage and rehab any injuries that may arise over your shorter or longer rides.
