Sore knees, aching shoulders, numb hands or a niggling lower back after a ride? You might not need to ride less — you might need a better bike fit!

A professional bike fit looks at how your body interacts with your bike, from saddle height and handlebar position to your movement, mobility and riding goals. At Body Mechanic Glasgow, I combine my sports therapy knowledge with a practical approach to help you find a position that works for your body.

Whether you're training for an event, building up your mileage or simply want to enjoy your weekend rides without discomfort, a good bike fit can make a real difference to your comfort, efficiency and overall riding experience.
