Clinical Bike Fitting

The only bike fitting course in the UK specifically designed for healthcare professionals. We go deeper on using biomechanical assessment to deliver the best possible fit — focusing on injury prevention and solving more complex pain issues on the bike, including how your approach might differ for cases such as post–hip replacement.

Dates & location: 7–8 February 2026 — Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire, 10:00–16:00 each day.

Price: £750

IBFI status: Our courses are IBFI accredited. You will meet the educational requirements for Level 2 certification; final certification is independently awarded by the International Bike Fitting Institute (IBFI).

What you’ll learn

  • Deep dive into the key principles of cycling biomechanics and how they affect performance, comfort, and injury risk.
  • Conduct a thorough pre-fit screening relevant to bike fitting.
  • Set up a bike accurately and make informed adjustments at all three contact points.
  • Assess and adjust cleat positioning; set saddle height, tilt and fore–aft; and configure handlebar reach, drop and width to suit the rider.
  • Identify and address common rider complaints (e.g., numbness, lower-back pain, knee pain) using sound biomechanical reasoning.
  • Observe and coach posture, movement, and pedalling technique.
  • Discuss case studies of more serious conditions (e.g., hip replacements) and what you might do differently during a fit to accommodate.
  • Adapt the fitting approach for different disciplines (road, gravel, racing).
  • Gain an introductory understanding of bike-fit technologies such as video analysis and saddle-pressure mapping.
  • Complete a full bike fit, applying all learned principles end-to-end.

Practice & marketing

  • Turn fit clients into returning therapy clients: positioning, follow-up pathways, and communication that builds long-term value.
  • Marketing techniques: how to demonstrate the benefits of seeing a healthcare bike fitter versus a non-healthcare fitter.
Bonus — Licence included: 1 year of the Bike Fit Physio™ Licence (Foundation Partnership) is included free. You can upgrade to higher partnerships at any time by paying the difference. Your clinic will also appear on our Find a Bike Fitter engine at thebikefitphysio.co.uk.
