Whether you’re a weekend road rider, a competitive racer, or a dedicated commuter, cycling takes a toll on your body.
At BodyMotion Physiotherapy, we provide tailored cycling physiotherapy support to help you recover faster, prevent injury, and improve performance in the saddle.
Our cycling physio programs are designed for riders of all ages and experience levels. From posture correction to injury rehab, we help Melbourne cyclists feel stronger, more stable, and more confident on every ride.
Cycling might be low-impact, but it isn’t low-demand. Repetitive movements, prolonged time in a fixed posture, and high training volumes can lead to a range of overuse injuries and muscle imbalances.
That’s why our cycling physiotherapy services go beyond generic treatment plans. We tailor your program to your bike setup, riding style, injury history, and personal goals.
We support:
Many cycling injuries develop gradually and are linked to poor biomechanics, muscular imbalances, or incorrect bike fit.
The most common include:
Lower back pain is often linked to poor core stability, prolonged flexed posture, or saddle height issues.
We also treat:
We assess your injury, posture, muscle control, and biomechanics to uncover the root cause — not just treat symptoms.
Hands-on techniques to release tight muscles, improve joint mobility, and reduce pain.
We collaborate with trusted Melbourne bike fitters or help you adjust saddle height, cleat position, and handlebar reach to reduce stress on the body.
A customised plan focusing on core stability, glute activation, hip mobility, and thoracic mobility.
Not injured? We help cyclists move more efficiently, increase endurance, and build power with physiotherapy cycling programs.
Recovery sessions, massage, and post-event care to help your body bounce back quicker and avoid long-term setbacks.
Cycling may be a repetitive sport, but your body is unique.
Here’s how physiotherapy for cycling helps you:
We don’t just treat injuries; we help you recover better and train smarter.
Recovery services we offer include:
If you’ve just completed a cycling event (like Around the Bay or a local Gran Fondo), our recovery programs reduce DOMS and help you bounce back faster.
If pain, stiffness, or injury is holding you back on the bike, don’t just push through it.
Book an appointment at BodyMotion Physiotherapy and get back to doing what you love — stronger, smarter, and pain-free.
Based in Mitcham, we support cyclists across Ringwood, Vermont, Donvale, Blackburn, and Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.

Cycling physiotherapy focuses on treating and preventing injuries common in cyclists through assessment, hands-on treatment, and exercise rehab tailored to riding demands.
Absolutely. We work on posture, strength, and mobility to improve your pedal stroke, reduce fatigue, and prevent overuse issues.
Knee pain, lower back pain, neck and shoulder strain, hip tightness, and ulnar nerve compression in the hands are most common.
If you experience recurring pain, numbness, or discomfort while riding, we may suggest a bike fit assessment or provide adjustments to improve your positioning.
Yes — we treat acute injuries and help with soft tissue recovery, joint rehab, and gradual return to full training.
Not at all. We treat cyclists of all levels — from daily commuters to first-time racers and weekend riders.
A Relaxation Massage is a great way to pamper yourself, reduce stress and recharge your energy levels. Using a combination of relaxing massage strokes, usually with a lighter pressure, you can opt for a full body massage or choose the areas you would like to have massaged which can include the back, shoulders, legs, feet, arms, hands, neck, head and face.
This is a therapeutic remedial Maintenance Massage which may be recommended to you by your physiotherapist and aims to help you to maintain the results that you have achieved from your Physiotherapy treatments. This massage will be targeted to the area that you had treated by your physio, and will ensure that the muscles continue to work well together to keep you free of pain.
A remedial Therapeutic or Deep Tissue Massage is generally a deeper, firmer pressure and will target particular areas of tightness and restriction in your muscles. You will be asked to provide feedback throughout this massage to assess if the level of pressure is suitable for the area.
A remedial Sports Massage can help to ease any muscular pain post workout or after you have participated in a sporting activity. It can also be beneficial prior to a sporting event to ensure that your muscles are at their peak state, therefore assisting you to perform at your highest possible level.
