'Cycling'
is composed of. . .
10% Bike
and
90% Rider
Bike Fitting
was created ~30years ago by Bike Industry companies like Specialized, Serrota, Trek, etc.
Bike Industry focuses efforts and innovation of:
- The Bike and Equipment
- Tools + Gear
- Pieces + parts + accessories
And again remember, this is 10% of CYCLING
Did you know?
Over 90% of Bike Fit services in the US are performed by Bike Shop Employees who take a weekend course wherein every participant becomes a Certified Bike Fitter.
However. . .
The #1 reason cyclists request Bike Fit is because of
PAIN
i.e. Body Problems on the bike, including:
- Flexibility
- Injury, both Acute + Chronic
- Posture
- Strength
- Coordination + Training
The Physiotherapist is the #1 expert on the BODY -- 90% of CYCLING
Because of this skillset, the opportunity for PTs is HUGE in the cycling niche healthcare space!
However. . . Physiotherapists generally lack:
-
Knowledge of bike pieces/parts
-
Skills using wrenches and tools
-
Proper rationale / signs + symptoms and the “why” for specific Bike Fit interventions
-
Space, equipment, and tools to perform Bike Fit in clinic
-
Proper assessment techniques to evaluate cyclists
-
How to bill-out and get paid for Bike Fit in the clinic
And currently, there exists NO education on Bike Fit and management of cyclists in ANY Medical or PT School curriculum in the US!
What if there was a cycling and Bike Fit educational program series designed specifically for Physiotherapists?
Together, we can elevate the role and awareness to the public with PTs/ healthcare practitioners leading the charge in managing cyclist, and their Bike Fit!
Ready to take the next steps?!?
