Bike Fit Canada

Bike fitting involves customizing a bicycle to suit an individual's biomechanics, aiming to enhance comfort, performance, and prevent injuries. For physiotherapists and bike shop employees, this process is vital as it assists in addressing clients' specific physiological needs, ensuring optimal bike use without causing discomfort or harm. Our protocol addresses feet, seat, and hands as well as teaches bicycle mechanical best practices as well.

This course caters to physiotherapists seeking to expand their expertise in addressing cycling-related injuries and conditions. It's also beneficial for bike shop employees aiming to offer comprehensive services, including professional bike fitting, to enhance customer satisfaction and provide tailored solutions. Typically new fitters are lost for what to do, in what order, with specifics things to look for in a global view and apply methodology to the fitting process.

Our course covers foundational principles of bike fitting, biomechanics relevant to injury prevention and rehabilitation, comprehensive assessment techniques, equipment adjustments, and effective communication strategies specifically geared towards addressing clients' physiological needs. Even more, we have courses designed for specific bike platforms which have different fitting needs.

There are no specific prerequisites; however, a foundational understanding of human anatomy, physiology, and basic knowledge of cycling mechanics could be advantageous. Ideally you have conducted a bike fit, or have the means to conduct one, such as owning a bike trainer, some basic tools and a well-lit studio to film the rider.
