Bike Fitting in New Westminster.
Your body assessed first, then the bike adjusted to match.
BIKE FITTING IN NEW WESTMINSTER
Why clients in New Westminster choose us.
Bike fitting at our New Westminster studio starts with the rider. Your physiotherapist assesses hip and knee mobility, ankle range, trunk control, and any injury history before touching the saddle height or cleat position. That order matters: fitting a bike to a body that has not been assessed tends to make compensations more comfortable rather than less present.
Sessions cover road, gravel, time trial, and mountain bike setups and run two to two and a half hours. New Westminster cyclists often ride the Trans Canada Trail along the Fraser River, Brunette River trails, and the Quayside waterfront. Many clients we see train on those mixed-terrain routes and develop knee, hip, or neck complaints mid-season. The fit session surfaces those patterns before they become injuries.
The New Westminster studio is steps from the SkyTrain, which makes it practical for cyclists who commute by transit and carry their bike for the fit session.

KIND WORDS
What New Westminster clients say.
"I started coming here after an injury I suffered at the beginning of December. I was pleasantly surprised by how many practitioners they have and how easy it is to book appointments online. The clinic is very conveniently located at New Westminster Station, which makes it easy for me to come before work, after work, and even on weekends. I started seeing George for physiotherapy to treat my injury. Not only did he help me recover, but he also provided exercises that I can easily track through an app. More recently, I had a bike fitting with George, as he is certified to perform bike assessments and ensure that everything is adjusted properly for comfort and performance while riding. I am very happy with the care and service George has provided. He was kind, patient, and understanding throughout the process. As a single parent, I sometimes have no choice but to bring my toddler with me to appointments. George made an effort to acknowledge my son throughout the session, which I really appreciated. The same can be said for the entire staff. Everyone has been welcoming, understanding, and accommodating of my child. That means a lot to me because I do not always have childcare available, and being in a professional environment where people are so understanding makes me feel comfortable and supported. Some of the services I have received include acupuncture, massage therapy, hot stone massage, physiotherapy, and a bike assessment. I have been very satisfied with all of them. I highly recommend this clinic for its excellent customer service, knowledgeable practitioners, and welcoming environment."

FAQ
Bike Fitting in New Westminster: questions.
Can I bring my bike on the SkyTrain to the New Westminster studio?
+
Yes. TransLink allows non-folding bikes on SkyTrain during off-peak hours. The studio is a short walk from both New Westminster and Columbia stations, and there is elevator access.
What makes a physio-led bike fit different from a standard fit?
+
A physiotherapist assesses your movement before the bike is touched: hip rotation, knee tracking, ankle stiffness, any injury that changes how you load the pedal. A standard fit works from the bike outward; this works from your body inward.
Do I need to have cycling pain to book a fit?
+
No. Many clients book proactively at the start of the season or after upgrading a bike. A fit before pain develops is easier than a fit designed around an injury that has already set in.
Is bike fitting covered by extended health or ICBC?
+
Bike fitting is billed as a physiotherapy service when a physiotherapist delivers it, so it draws on your physio benefit with most major extended health plans. For a crash-related injury being addressed through a bike fit, ICBC coverage depends on your specific claim, ask our team to confirm before booking.
Do I need to book a follow-up after a bike fit?
+
Most clients do not need one. Some book a shorter follow-up 4 to 6 weeks later if a saddle or cleat adjustment needs fine-tuning once they have logged more riding time on the new position and can report back on how it feels on longer rides.
What should I bring to a bike fitting appointment in New Westminster?
+
Bring your own bike, the shoes and pedals you actually ride with, and any bib shorts or cycling kit you normally wear. If you have a history of a specific injury, bring any imaging reports or clinic notes related to it so the assessment can account for it.
How is bike fitting different from a running assessment at Launch Rehab?
+
Both use movement assessment and video analysis, but a running assessment looks at gait on a treadmill while a bike fit adjusts a stationary bike to match your body's mobility and injury history. They address overlapping issues, such as hip or knee pain, but through different equipment and a different sport entirely.
Do I need a referral to book a bike fitting session?
+
No. Bike fitting is billed as physiotherapy and is direct-access in BC, so a referral is not required to book, and you can schedule it the same way you would any physiotherapy appointment through JaneApp without a doctor's note or a wait to be seen.
