2. Cycling Injury Assessment
3. Bike Fit Review Consultation
4. Physiotherapy

Cycling injuries can occur due to a variety of causes, including incorrect positioning, overtraining, biomechanical faults, poor technique and trauma. To effectively manage a cycling injury, a thorough examination investigating each of these factors is required to determine the relative contribution of each, thereby enabling the most appropriate course of action to be taken (eg. modifying training regime, adjusting position on the bike, physiotherapy or referral to other health practitioners).

Taking the time to thoroughly assess the problem from all angles can speed up the recovery process by allowing the most effective management strategy to be implemented early. This not only saves time and minimises training disruption, but may also save money in the long run by reducing the need for extended periods of treatment. This assessment usually takes around 3-3.5hrs and is appropriate for chronic or complex cycling injuries, particularly those that have failed to respond to other interventions.

An overview of the assessment is as follows:

• Review of training and injury history 

• Physical assessment relevant to the injury 

• Full body biomechanical screening 

• Video analysis on the bike with simultaneous dual-camera capture 

• Spinscan to help evaluate pedalling technique and identify power imbalances

• Full bike fit
  

• Short-term training advice

• Report to coach and/or treating health professional

• Therapeutic exercise prescription if appropriate

• Recommendations regarding appropriate management including referral to other health professionals as needed (eg - podiatrist, sports physician, masseuse etc)

• Cost - $300 (health fund rebate may apply)

• 10% off any components required to achieve fit from Cycleogical

As above but without bike fit. If significant alterations to position are deemed to be necessary from the assesment then a bike fit can be booked in at a later date. Minor adjustments may be applied upon completion of the assessment at Ben's discretion (hourly rate applies).

• Cost - $150 (health fund rebate may apply)

Where position on the bike has been adjusted to accomodate an injury, a review consultation to fine tune the position once the injury resolves is often required. Re-assessment of the injury is included if required. Usually takes 30mins or less unless fitting new equipment.

• Cost - $65 for 1st 30mins, pro-rata hourly rate thereafter (health fund rebate may apply)
