Long-Term Comfort on the Bike
Chris Opie
I have had a few ongoing issues in the past years, but with the exercises shown to me by Scott, coupled with the bike fitting service he provides I am no longer suffering from any localised pain whilst exercising. He is easy to talk to and took his time to put me at ease. I…

I’ve been to Scott twice now for a bike fit and both times have been excellent. He is incredibly knowledgeable as both a cyclist and as a physio, and takes the time to explain everything in detail. I always come away from sessions having learned something new. The fit feels very personal, adapted to my…

Huge help to me! Had a long term injury which was keeping off the bike… After visiting Scott I was up and back on the bike again… Fantastic. Full body assessment, treatment for the injury and topped of with a bike fit which has even given me more power on the bike now I’m in…

I have seen Scott twice for a TT bike fit as he was highly recommend. I am a triathlete and he has set up my bike in a great position to be faster, more aero dynamic & comfortable to run well off the bike! Cheer Katie on here: instagram.com

After years of aches and pains Scott helped me figure out that I was recommended the wrong sized bike, has saved me a costly mistake purchasing the wrong bike size, solved my pain and renewed my love for cycling. I strongly recommend getting a fit BEFORE buying a new bike, the service was excellent at…

Phoned Scott as I had an accident at work, very fast and efficient and getting me in and seen. Felt very professional and I would recommend him to anyone. I also had a bike fit from Scott as a result of my first appointment and have had improvements on the bike since! Absolute gentleman with…
Did you know?
Scott is a former physiotherapist with Team Garmin who went on to race at national level himself. After leaving professional cycling in 2009, he spent six years competing and was selected for the National Road Race Championships in 2012 and 2013 — racing alongside riders such as Mark Cavendish, Chris Froome, and Bradley Wiggins.
That rare combination of elite physiotherapy experience and first-hand racing knowledge shapes every bike fit at Kernow Physio.
What’s Included in Your Bike Fit
Completed before your appointment to highlight key issues, previous injuries, and riding goals.
An off-bike assessment to understand how your body moves and where efficiency may be limited, including:
- Joint mobility
- Flexibility
- Movement restrictions
- Limb alignment and control
A position is established that balances:
- Comfort
- Efficiency
- Sustainability
- Appropriate performance goals
Static measurements are combined with dynamic assessment to ensure your position remains effective when you’re actually riding.
High-definition video analysis is used to assess pedalling mechanics and overall movement. This helps identify where energy is being lost and where small changes can improve efficiency without increasing strain.
You’ll receive advice on:
- Adapting to your new position
- Improving movement efficiency
- Simple off-bike work to support your fit
This ensures the benefits of the fit continue long after the session.
Efficiency improves as your body adapts. A free follow-up allows your position to be refined once you’ve had time to settle into the changes.
Bike Fit Relief for Cycling Pain
Gavin Matthews
Travelled from Barnstaple to see Scott today having never had a bike fit before. I am so glad I did! Scott was a top bloke, very easy to talk to and the experience was very relaxed and explained very well. The difference in position was more comfortable immediately after a couple of changes, looking forward…
Mark Burchell
Just had a bike fit with Scott. Really impressed with how professional, relaxed and friendly he was. Scott took time to explain what he was doing and the rational behind it. So not only do I feel more comfortable on a bike I also come away with some knowledge. If you need a bike fit…
Aran Takhar
Had phenomenal experience with Scott. He made sure I was informed about every step of the bike fit and helped me understand why we were making these changes. Had a really lovely time and now my bike feels more comfortable than ever. The difference really is day and night! I only wish I’d gotten down…
Worth Travelling For
Although based in Cornwall, Kernow Physio regularly works with cyclists who travel from across the South West, including Bristol and Bath.
Many clients choose to make a day of their visit — combining their bike fit with a local road, gravel, or mountain bike ride to test their position in real-world conditions. Scott is always happy to recommend excellent riding routes, on and off road, along with the best coffee and cake stops, helping visitors get the most from their time in Cornwall.
For those travelling from further afield, Scott can also collect clients from the local train station by prior arrangement, making the visit as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
