At Healthcare On Collins, an experienced team provides professional cycling physio in Melbourne that riders trust. The goal is to deliver personalised care that supports performance and long-term physical wellbeing.

Bike set up is one of the many services offered by some Physiotherapists at Healthcare on Collins.

Correcting your Bike Setup is an important way of enhancing your cycling power and efficiency as well as reducing stress on your body which can lead to discomfort and injury. This is relevant for every bike rider, whether you are riding your bike on some sunny weekends, to commute to work or to race over long distances, it is critical to have it set up to your body.

Expert Cycling Physio in Melbourne

A trained Physiotherapist can help you to choose the right bike size and to optimise your riding position and pedalling technique. This can often be achieved by simply making changes to the seat height and/or the handlebar positioning. As Physiotherapists they can advise you to consider the “whole picture’, not just the bike set up. Your Physiotherapist will not only set the bike up as appropriate to your body, but will also assess your posture and the way you engage different muscles when pedalling.

Physiotherapy-Led Bike Setup and Injury Prevention

Cycling injury prevention and rehabilitation can also be achieved through manual treatment and exercise programs based on an assessment of your biomechanics. Your physiotherapist will help you address any relevant deficits in strength, flexibility, lower back and pelvic control.

If you are interested in making a bike set up appointment, please call our reception staff on (03) 9650 4384 and mention that this is the reason for your consultation.

We allocate 60 minutes, which allows for measurements and adjustments using the wind trainer, biomechanical assessment and history taking. You will need to bring your bike with your usual cycling shoes and clothes. Then you’ll walk away with renewed pleasure when riding your bike around Melbourne.
