Bike fitting in Alicante and Costa Blanca
At Atfisio, we provide professional bike fitting in Alicante and cycling biomechanics analysis in Costa Blanca from our clinic in Alfaz del Pi, helping cyclists from Alicante, Benidorm, Altea, La Nucía and the surrounding area improve performance, prevent injuries and find a more comfortable, efficient and sustainable position on the bike.
A bicycle is built for efficiency. Your body, however, is not always prepared to spend hours riding without consequences if your position is not right. Knee pain, lower back tightness, neck tension, pressure on the hands or loss of performance often have the same origin: a riding position that does not properly match your anatomy, your pedalling mechanics or your injury history.
Our cycling biomechanics assessment, also known as bike fitting, combines clinical physiotherapy, body assessment and real-time movement analysis technology with one clear goal: helping you ride with more comfort, more efficiency and more confidence, while keeping both sports performance and injury prevention in mind.
What is bike fitting and what is it for?
Bike fitting is the process of analysing how your body and your bicycle work together in order to achieve a more balanced, efficient and sustainable riding position. It is not just about “sitting better on the bike”, but about adapting the bike to you: to your mobility, body proportions, possible asymmetries, physical history and the type of cycling you do.
A good bike fit can help improve pedalling efficiency, reduce overload, prevent injuries and explain why certain symptoms only appear when you ride. That is why we do not focus only on angles or measurements. We focus on performance, health and how your body actually responds to effort.
At Atfisio, we understand cycling biomechanics through a clinical and functional perspective. We aim for a position that is useful, realistic and sustainable, both for riders training for performance and for those who simply want to enjoy cycling again without pain.
Who is a bike fitting session for?
- Road cyclists, MTB riders, gravel cyclists, triathletes and recreational riders
- People who feel discomfort, pain or overload when riding
- Cyclists with previous injuries, surgeries or mobility restrictions
- Anyone buying a new bike who wants to start with the right position from day one
- Athletes looking to improve performance without compromising their health
- Cyclists who have already had a bike fit before but still feel discomfort or inefficiency
Pain while riding: when position matters more than it seems
Many symptoms that appear on the bike are not only caused by training volume, intensity or lack of fitness. Sometimes the real issue lies in small mismatches that force the body to compensate for hours, eventually creating pain or limiting performance.
During a bike fitting session, we can assess whether your position is related to symptoms such as knee pain while cycling, lower back pain on the bike, neck tension, shoulder overload, numb hands when cycling, foot discomfort, saddle pressure or a general feeling of instability on the bike.
When your body and your bike are not working in the same direction, pedalling stops being efficient. Adjusting your position is not just about looking better on the bike. It is about distributing load more effectively, reducing compensations and giving your body a more stable foundation to perform without suffering.
Bike fitting in Alicante: how we work
Every session is individual and fully personalised. We do not use generic formulas. We analyse how you ride and what your body needs in order to perform better on the bike.
- Initial interview
We talk about your cycling discipline, training volume, goals, sensations and current or previous discomfort. - Physical assessment
We assess joint mobility, flexibility, motor control, asymmetries, compensations and possible areas of tension. - Dynamic analysis on the bike
We observe your pedalling and record angles and movement patterns using specialised software in real time. - Personalised adjustments
We work on variables such as saddle height and setback, cleat position, stem length, hand support and the relationship between trunk, pelvis and legs.
In many cases, a change of just a few millimetres can make the difference between riding with discomfort and feeling the bike again as a natural extension of your body.
Bike fitting with a clinical physiotherapy approach
Thanks to Alberto Tomé’s specific training at Cyclistlab Academy and his background as a physiotherapist, each bike fitting session is not interpreted only through data or angles, but through real clinical reasoning. This makes it possible to understand what lies behind a posture, a compensation pattern or a recurring symptom.
At Atfisio, we are not looking for a textbook position or a standard recipe. We are looking for a functional, sustainable position adapted to your physical reality, your technique, your history and your way of riding. That is what turns a simple adjustment into something genuinely useful.
The body speaks even before pain appears. Sometimes it is not a matter of poor fitness or excessive training, but of a position that needs refining so you can ride again with more freedom, control and confidence.
Why choose Atfisio instead of other bike fitting services?
Not all bike fitting services are the same.
Many focus mainly on measurements, angles or technology. While this can be useful, it doesn’t always explain why pain appears or why performance doesn’t improve.
Atfisio is different because we combine cycling biomechanics with a physiotherapy-based clinical approach.
- We analyse your body, not just your bike
Mobility, asymmetries, previous injuries and movement patterns are part of the process. - Clinical interpretation, not just data
Numbers matter, but understanding what they mean for your body is what makes the difference. - Focused on real problems
Knee pain, lower back discomfort, numb hands or neck tension are analysed in context, not in isolation. - Personalised adjustments
Every rider is different. Your position is adapted to your body, not copied from a standard model. - Performance + injury prevention
The goal is not just to ride faster, but to ride better and for longer without pain.
This is what transforms a simple bike adjustment into a meaningful change in how you feel and perform on the bike.

Bike fitting to improve cycling performance and efficiency
The technological side of the assessment allows us to observe with precision how your body behaves while pedalling and to validate each adjustment with clear reasoning. It is not about moving components randomly, but about checking how your position responds in real time.
That technical approach, combined with the previous clinical assessment, allows for more refined and more useful changes: a better aligned position, a more efficient movement pattern, improved power transfer, more stability on the bike and a bicycle that truly works in favour of your body.
For many cyclists, improving performance does not always mean training more. Sometimes it means stopping the loss of energy through unnecessary compensations and giving your body a better foundation from which it can perform, recover and sustain effort with less wear.
Bike fitting for cyclists in Benidorm, Altea, Alfaz del Pi and Costa Blanca
Although Atfisio is based in Alfaz del Pi, we provide bike fitting in Alicante for cyclists coming from Alicante, Benidorm, Altea, La Nucía and different parts of the Costa Blanca. If you train in this area or live here for part of the year, you can access a clinically oriented bike fitting service without travelling far.
This is especially valuable both for local cyclists and for international riders who train or stay in Costa Blanca and are looking for a more complete bike fit in Alicante: one that combines performance, injury prevention and physiotherapy-based interpretation of the body.
