Any recommendations for a bike fitter that looks at the body both on and off the bike? I've seen a couple of physios in the last year to address imbalances in strength and body position, notably hip tilt, shoulder drop, glute and calf over/under inactivity. It's been really interesting but neither have really been able to help with how this might affect/be affected by bike fit. Am I imbalanced by my bike fit, or is my fit affected by my imbalances?
I'd love to speak to someone who could look at these as a whole, and I'd be willing to take the day to travel if necessary. I've moved to West Wales so expect to!
From looking back through this thread and keeping an eye out on socials, my very short list is:
-Nichola Roberts at Velophysio (@spinnnout gave a shining review)
-@Scherrit at Bike Whisperer (from @JB recommendation)
-Tim at Soigneur (seems like a nice guy from socials)
-The guys at Bicycle Richmond (From Youtube and Instagram these guys obviously come across as a very complete service, but there is something salesy and overconfident about them that puts me off. Reviews tend to be great, but price also reflects this)
I had a fairly disappointing bike fit 3 years ago, where the fitter was very reliant on motion tracking and didn't once look at my ranges of motion or compensatory behaviours. Really interested to hear personal experiences with any of the above, and if anyone can recommend someone not listed, I WANT to hear. Cheers!
