Physiotherapist-led, not just fitting
Every bike fit starts with a clinical assessment of your body — flexibility, joint mobility, muscle imbalances, and injury history. The fit follows the physio, not the other way around.

Why Evolutio & Ciclo
Where physiotherapy
meets cycling expertise.
Cyclists have specific needs — sustained postures, repetitive movements, and the constant balance between power output and injury risk. Most sports physios treat cyclists. We are cyclists. That's a meaningful difference.
Shirouz works across both Evolutio Sports Physio and our partner brand Ciclo Melbourne — completing physiotherapist-led bike fits and treating the full range of cycling-specific injuries. As an Ironman 70.3 triathlete himself, he bridges the gap between clinical expertise and real-world riding in a way few practitioners can.
An athlete treating athletes
Shirouz is an Ironman 70.3 triathlete and multi-sport athlete. When he discusses training load, recovery, and the frustration of being sidelined — it's lived experience, not a textbook.
On-bike and off-bike assessment
We assess your biomechanics both on the bike and off it, identifying what's driving your symptoms whether it's saddle height, cleat alignment, hip mobility, or core weakness.
Tailored to your goals
Road cyclist chasing a PB. Triathlete balancing three disciplines. CBD commuter with persistent back pain. Weekend Dandenongs rider. Every program is built around where you ride and why.
Bike Fitting
Choose your fit.
Both fits are conducted by Shirouz — a physiotherapist and Ciclo-certified bike fitter. The process begins with a phone call to discuss your goals, equipment, and any injury history before your session. You can also read more about our bike fits at Ciclo Melbourne.

The Process
How Shirouz fits your bike.
Every fit begins before you arrive. A phone call covers your goals, riding history, and any pain or discomfort you're experiencing. This lets Shirouz tailor the session before you've even walked through the door.
On the day: a thorough off-bike assessment of your body mechanics, flexibility, and strength. Then on the bike — position analysis, precise saddle and handlebar adjustments, cleat alignment, and real-time feedback as you ride.
You leave with a fully documented fit report, specific strength and flexibility recommendations, and a clear understanding of what changes were made and why. For the Tailored Fit, a comprehensive follow-up report is included.
Shirouz also works with Ciclo Melbourne — our dedicated cycling healthcare partner — for triathlon-specific positioning and road cycling performance optimisation.
Book a bike fitInjuries We Treat
Cycling injuries that
stop you riding.
Cycling's repetitive nature makes overuse injuries inevitable — unless the root cause is addressed. Here's what walks through our door most often, and how we fix it.
Cyclist's Knee (PFPS)
Pain around or behind the kneecap — almost always linked to saddle height, cleat alignment, or hip weakness. A bike fit often resolves this alongside targeted rehab.
Knee physio MelbourneIT Band Syndrome
Outer knee pain on cyclists is typically hip weakness and poor bike fit working together. We address both — the body and the bike — simultaneously.
Hip physio MelbourneLower Back Pain
Sustained flexion on the bike loads the lumbar spine over hours. We identify whether the issue is bike position, core endurance, hip flexibility, or all three. Back physio Melbourne.
Neck & Shoulder Strain
Holding a forward head posture for hours creates enormous load on the cervical spine. Handlebar height, reach, and upper back mobility all contribute. Neck physio Melbourne.
Achilles Tendonitis
Cleat position and saddle height directly affect how the Achilles is loaded on every pedal stroke. We treat the tendon and fix the setup causing it. Foot & ankle physio.
Cyclist's Palsy
Ulnar nerve compression from handlebar pressure causes numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. Handlebar position, padding, and riding technique all play a role.

Originally from Singapore and based in Melbourne since graduating from Curtin University with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy, Shirouz is the most hands-on practitioner you'll find. He treats everyone the same — elite triathlete or casual commuter — with the same standard of care and genuine interest in solving the problem.
As a hockey player, soccer player, and Ironman 70.3 triathlete, Shirouz understands training load and the frustration of being sidelined. He co-founded a health tech startup specialising in custom 3D printed orthotics, and volunteers as physio for Old Melburnians Soccer Club — because apparently treating patients five days a week isn't quite enough.

What is a physiotherapist-led bike fit? +
A physiotherapist-led bike fit combines a full clinical assessment of your body with precise bike adjustments. Unlike a standard fit, it accounts for your injury history, muscle imbalances, joint mobility, and movement asymmetries — so the fit works for your body specifically, not a generic model. Read more at Ciclo Melbourne.
How much does a bike fit cost in Melbourne? +
Our Standard Bike Fit is $275 (1 hour). The Tailored Bike Fit is $475 (2 hours) and includes a full physiotherapy assessment and a detailed follow-up report. Cycling injury physio appointments start at $115 for follow-ups and $185 for initial assessments. View full pricing.
How long does a bike fit take? +
The Standard Fit takes approximately 1 hour. The Tailored Fit takes 2 hours and includes a full physiotherapy assessment before any bike adjustments are made. Both sessions begin with a phone call to discuss your goals, equipment, and injury history before you arrive.
Can cycling cause knee pain? +
Yes — cycling knee pain is extremely common and almost always linked to saddle height, cleat alignment, or hip weakness. The advantage of a physiotherapist-led fit is that we assess both the bike and the body simultaneously, rather than treating them as separate problems. Knee physio Melbourne.
What cycling injuries do you treat? +
We treat knee pain (patellofemoral syndrome, patellar tendonitis), lower back pain, neck and shoulder strain, Achilles tendonitis, IT band syndrome, hip and groin issues, and cyclist's palsy (hand/wrist numbness). We address both the body and the bike setup causing the injury.
Do I need a bike fit or a physio appointment? +
If you have pain or injury specifically on the bike, our Tailored Bike Fit (which includes a physio assessment) is often the most efficient option. If your pain occurs off the bike too, start with a standard physio appointment. Not sure? WhatsApp Shirouz and he'll point you in the right direction.
Do you work with triathletes? +
Yes — triathlon is one of Shirouz's key specialities through Ciclo Melbourne. As an Ironman 70.3 triathlete himself, he understands the demands of training across three disciplines and can optimise your bike position for the specific demands of triathlon, including the run-off-the-bike challenge.
Does private health insurance cover cycling physio? +
Cycling physiotherapy appointments are claimable through most private health extras policies via HICAPS on-site. Bike fits are not typically covered by health insurance. TAC and WorkCover are accepted for cycling-related injuries. View our pricing page for a full breakdown.
