WHY AMN SHOULD COME FIRST
Foundational Neurological Preparation For Bike Fitting
Optimising the nervous system before a bike fit allows the fit to be based on function rather than compensation.
AMN prior to fitting can:
-
Improve asymmetry in hip range of motion
-
Improve balance, coordination, and stability
-
Improve vestibular and cerebellar function
-
Facilitate weak or inhibited muscles
-
Allow the brain to develop more efficient muscle firing sequences before your bike fitting
WHY TIMING MATTERS
Changes in the system are noticeable and apparent immediately (for example, increased hip range of motion)
However the way the brain integrates and uses those improvements is not always instant.
Neurological adaptation typically takes 3–7 days.
For this reason a bikefit should be performed after this period of adaptation.
WHAT IS OPTIMAL & HOW TO BOOK
Step 1. Book Applied Movement Neurology – Session 1
Step 2. During your first AMN session, we will decide together whether:
-
You proceed directly to your bike fit, or
-
Additional AMN sessions are required beforehand
Step 3. Book your bike fit a minimum of one week after your final AMN session.
Please note: On average most cyclists looking to optimise function before a bikefit require 1-3 sessions (maximum).
WHO THIS IS FOR
This approach is recommended for:
-
Riders who want to optimise the body before a bike fit
-
Riders with previous injuries or persistent discomfort
-
Riders experiencing pain with no clear mechanism of injury
-
Riders who understand that bike fit is a reflection of off-the-bike function
