Cycling positioning assessment

With the proximity of the REV, Physio Plateau is the clinic of choice for cyclists. The bike fitting service is aimed at both amateur cyclists and performance athletes. Prevention, performance and rehabilitation are all good reasons to consult for a bike fit. Indeed, the evaluation of your biomechanics, your positioning on the bike and the analysis of your movement will be used to achieve your objectives. Cyclists using gravel, road, hybrid or urban bikes are welcome.

Of course, all of our physiotherapists are qualified to treat sports injuries that could occur with cycling. On the other hand, if you are looking for specific prevention, performance or optimization advice, this service is for you! With our BikeFit-trained professionals, Physio Plateau will help you ride as long as you want.

What to expect from your first session?

During your first visit for a bike fitting assessment, the physiotherapist will begin with several questions to understand your activity level, habits, goals and symptoms.

Next, tests will be performed to determine, among other things, your strength, flexibility and motor control. Before you mount on your bike, a mechanical inspection of it will be done. Subsequently, the on-bike evaluation will begin with various measurements as well as analyzing the movement.

The therapist will explain the results of the assessment to you and will suggest adjustments and possibly new bike parts. A treatment plan will be presented to you, including a personalized exercise program and other therapeutic modalities. Follow-ups will be suggested if necessary.

To consider before the first visit:

Inform the clinic of the model, year and size of your bike before the visit.

Only hybrid, urban, road and gravel bikes are accepted.

Bring short, fitted clothes.

Bring your bike and all your accessories (helmet, gloves, shoes, etc).

The session will last approximately 2 hours.

Many cycling-related injuries can be treated directly with sports physiotherapy. Once your injury is under control, a cycling positioning assessment could be started to optimize performance.
