Ciclo: Expert Cycling Physio & Bike Fit Melbourne

Ciclo Melbourne – Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ciclo Melbourne?

Ciclo Melbourne is Australia’s first dedicated headquarters for comprehensive cycling health and performance.
We bring together an expert team offering Cycling Physiotherapy, Bike Fitting, Sports Dietetics, Performance Coaching, Cycling-Specific Programming, Strength & Conditioning, and Pilates — all tailored specifically for cyclists.

Whether you're a road racer, commuter, gravel grinder, or weekend warrior, Ciclo provides an integrated approach to helping you ride stronger, recover faster, and stay injury-free. Every service we offer is grounded in deep cycling knowledge and experience, with one goal: to help you perform at your best on and off the bike.

Ciclo isn’t just a clinic — it’s a community for cyclists who care about their health, their performance, and their time in the saddle.

Do I need to be a professional cyclist to book an appointment?

Not at all. We welcome cyclists of all abilities — from weekend riders and commuters to elite athletes. If you ride a bike and want to improve your performance or resolve pain and injury, we’re here for you.

What services do you offer?

We offer:

• Cycling-specific physiotherapy

• Comprehensive bike fit assessments

• Injury diagnosis and rehabilitation

• Strength and conditioning programs

• Return-to-ride and performance enhancement plans

What is a cycling-specific physio session?

A cycling-specific session goes beyond standard physio. We assess your biomechanics on and off the bike, identify any movement dysfunctions, and tailor a rehab or performance plan that suits your riding style, goals, and injury history.

What happens during a bike fit?

Our physiotherapist-led bike fit includes:

• Assessment of your riding posture and position

• Adjustments to cleats, saddle, handlebars, and reach

• Video analysis of your pedal stroke and positioning

• Recommendations to reduce pain and maximise power and efficiency

Do I need to bring my bike?

Yes, for bike fit sessions, please bring your bike, cycling shoes, and any gear you typically use. For injury or rehab appointments, bring any gear that may help us assess your movement (such as shoes or orthotics).

How do I book an appointment?

You can book online via here or contact us directly by phone or email. We recommend booking ahead, especially for bike fits, as these sessions are longer and fill up fast.

Do you treat non-cycling injuries too?

Yes — while our focus is on cycling, our physios are trained and experienced in treating all types of musculoskeletal injuries. If you’re an active person dealing with pain, we can help.

Do you accept private health insurance?

Yes, we offer on-the-spot rebates through HICAPS for most private health funds. Be sure to bring your card with you to your appointment.

Where are you located?

We are conveniently located at 11/3 Bromham Place in Richmond, Melbourne with easy access for cyclists.

How is Ciclo different from other physio clinics?

Ciclo was founded by cyclists, for cyclists. We combine high-level physiotherapy with real cycling experience, using evidence-based practices tailored to your sport. Whether you're chasing a PB or just want to ride pain-free, we understand your goals because we share them.
