bike fitting
The bike fitting process begins with a short interview to discuss your sporting history, ascertain your individual goal/s, any past or present injuries, how you’re feeling on the bike and your current training volume.
We will then undergo a biomechanical assessment of your body which will highlight the areas where your muscles are tight. We can determine muscle imbalances and find out what, if any, areas you need to work on to maximise your contact and connection with your bike.
This is an important process and highly individual.
We will provide you with some exercises to help any major imbalances and a series of stretches for tight muscles.
Onto the bike, we will firstly take a “before” video so we can readily see changes. We make sure everything is in your neutral and natural posture on the bike and that all your angles are correct, Using leading edge 3D STT motion capture software. You will see your self pedalling as a skeleton on the TV screen in front of you in real time, with all your paramounts from left to right side.
Our aim is improve efficiency and prevent injuries. The fitting comes down to the connection points between you and your bike and we make adjustments to these moving points on your bike. There are five connection points on your bike (9 on a triathlon or TT bike) to achieve a comfortable bike position.
After completing the measurements and adjustments, we will take an “after” video for you to be able to see the difference when compared to your “before” positioning.
We stock a range of saddles, Cobra 9 innersoles, leg length shims and other foot correction products, as well handlebars and stems for purchase, if needed to get the best outcome for your fit.
The bike fit will take approximately 3 hours for a first consultation.

remedial massage
Remedial massage is used to locate and repair damaged areas of the body and speed up the body’s own healing processes. The pressure applied in this healing treatment can either be strong and deep or gentle and shallow, depending on the problem.
Problems with the muscles can trigger or radiate pain to other parts of the body. Remedial massage aims to trace the original reason for the pain, tackling both the cause of the problem and the symptoms.
Deep tissue massage
Deep tissue massage is a good option if you have chronic muscle problems, such as soreness, injury, or imbalance. It can help relieve tight muscles, chronic muscle pain, and anxiety.
During a deep tissue massage, your massage therapist will use slow strokes and deep finger pressure to relieve tension from the deepest layers of your muscles and connective tissues.
Sports massage
Sports massage is a good option if you have a repetitive use injury to a muscle, such as what you may get from playing a sport. It’s also a good option if you’re prone to injuries because it can be used to help prevent sports injuries. You may also use sports massage to increase flexibility and performance. Additionally, sports massage can be used to relieve pain, anxiety, and muscle tension.
A sports massage can be done as a full-body massage or the massage therapist may focus on the parts of the body that need the most attention.
Myofascial cupping
Myofascial cupping is a soft tissue therapy that encourages healing by creating a negative pressure or suction on the skin using plastic or glass cups that pull up underlying tissues, blood, and other fluids close to the surface of the skin. Cupping is typically applied on the neck, shoulders, back, sacrum, hip, abdomen, thigh, calves, and upper arms.
Myofascial cupping can help treat soft tissue conditions and musculoskeletal tension, pain, and common sporting injuries. It can also create relaxation by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system.
