Reform Health

I recently had a comprehensive bike fit with Nicky following some increasing discomfort whilst riding. Nickys knowledge is second to none about all things bike and her ability to use her expertise on biomechanics and the muscular skeletal system to identify where things need altering is exactly what I needed. The difference in my position and comfort from the start to the finish of the session was massive and I'm excited to test the effect on my performance out on the road! The fit was really thorough, assessing both me and the bike individually and then piece by piece putting things together to make every element of my position more comfortable and efficient. i would highly recommend Reform Health to any cyclist looking to get the best out of their bike, and even more so if you have any sort of long term injury that may be impacting your comfort.

After a recent new bike purchase, Nicky was recommended to me for a bike fit. I am so impressed by her knowledge and thoroughness in finding the perfect position and setup. She is extremely helpful and friendly and i would absolutely recommend Reform Health to anyone. Her experience shines through as she explains the processes she is going through. I have come away with a better position and a lot more information and knowledge that she has passed on too!

I can’t recommend Nicky enough.
Superb knowledge, enthusiasm and skill. Made my TT bike even faster for me!
Not only helping me with injuries, advice on strength and positioning.
I will 100% be taking future bikes to Nicky for fitting.
Thanks Nicky

I’m 50 years old and I recently had a bike fit with Nicky after experiencing some knee pains on a ride to Cornwall. Nicky was very thorough and worked through all the various adjustments, and the bike now feels much more comfortable over longer distances and I also feel much more in control. If your experiencing any pains from riding, I would 100% recommend a bike fit with Nicky.

Following the purchase of a new bike I felt it would be good to get a bike fit session, couldn't be more satisfied with the time spent with Nicky.
From overall physical/anatomical checks (Nicky knows her stuff) to time spent fine tuning me to the bike (position, reach, cleats etc...) including a wealth of comments and tips the whole experience was great.
Proof in the first ride - set up felt good, responsive peddle power, comfortable position and increased average speed without chasing it.
Highly recommend and will keep in touch for future support.
Thanks Nicky 👍

After years of seeing chiropractors and physiotherapists on and off and being told 'you're just not built to run', Nicky was recommended to me by a friend. I love running and the pain in my lower back had slowly increased to the point just standing or walking was painful. Even lying down was painful! I'd stopped all exercise classes and running and couldn't even stand at a concert any more!!

Nicky took the time to really listen to my concerns and completed a thorough assessment, considering a history of injuries, bumps and training mishaps. She instantly helped me feel at ease and explained her assessment and reasons for recommendations at every step.

She was completely honest with me (even if I didn't like what she said) and helped me to really understand how I had got to that point and a clear path to get back in to running, pain free.

Nicky has seen me in her clinic, met me in the gym to demonstrate exercises and ensure I was moving correctly and devised a strength plan as well as sessions outside to advise on running form and technique.

I had pretty much given up on ever being able to run again but Nicky has given me my quality of life back! I am now running again (building it up slowly), jumping around at concerts, and enjoying the gym and long walks.

Nicky has also helped me to feel more confident continuing with training to keep improving and stay injury free. It hasn't happened overnight but I am confident that I will come back better and stronger after Nickys invaluable support.

If you are struggling with injury, feel you're stuck or just bored with your training, I'd absolutely recommend giving Nicky a call!!
Hopefully I won't need to see Nicky for injuries again but I won't hesitate to give her a call for some coaching in the future.

Thanks Nicky! You quite literally changed my life!!!

I went to Nicky 6 months after a discectomy, thinking I had to give up cycling as it exacerbated my back pain. She took a lot of care in finding out about me, my lifestyle, my physiology and my back problems, then expertly fitted me to my road bike. I'm very happily back cycling thanks completely to her knowledge and skill.

I've recently purchased a new bike, was looking to get a bike fit and Nicky was recommended to me.

Nicky puts you at ease immediately and makes you feel comfortable.

I've had a comprehensive bike fit, Nicky wants to know what you want from riding, the type of rider you are etc., she also assesses your flexibility and range of motion beforehand. Her knowledge is vast and you know you're in good hands, she is also real happy to answer any questions you may have (dumb or otherwise :))

I cannot recommend Nicky highly enough. She is fabulous!

I cannot recommend Nicky highly enough. She is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to do a thorough assessment, explaining everything as she does meaning that I learnt loads as well as getting a bike fit.
As well as being knowledgeable she made me feel very comfortable, was easy to talk to, and the time flew by.
For any level of cyclist I’d recommend you visit Nicky. I will be returning with any new bike to get it set up and anytime I feel like something has changed. After months of discomfort I’m looking forward to riding again.

Nicky was recommended to me after struggling to get comfortable on my new road bike after suffering from a slipped disc. I was very impressed with her general knowledge and attention to detail. She made alterations to my bike that would never have even occurred to me and I noticed an immediate improvement on my first ride out afterwards. My back pain has continued to improve to the point where I managed to complete a 72mile charity ride in comfort which wouldn't have been possible for me beforehand. Nicky has continued to offer me excellent advice and recommendations since thanks to her wide range of unbiased product knowledge and recently did an amazing job of installing and taping up a new handlebar for me. I would highly recommend Nicky to anyone considering a bike fit, your body will certainly thank you for it!

I really didn't think I needed a bike fit as I thought I was fine as I was but my wife had been to see Nicky and was so impressed she insisted I made an appointment I am now so glad I did as I couldn't have been more wrong. Nicky discovered that due to having one leg shorter than the other I had been basically cycling with one leg my whole life as the other one wasn't making direct contact with the pedal. Nicky fitted a spacer to the bottom of my cycle shoes and the difference has been remarkable. I used to tire much quicker than I do now and have much more power. I don't think I could get any more comfortable on my bike now and can't thank Nicky enough!

Nicky has always done my bike fit and I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone who is looking for a bike fit. Nicky recently provided excellent service when my bike seat needing replacing just two weeks before attempting to complete an Ironman. After a few messages, Nicky who was on holiday at the time found me an identical saddle and ordered it for me. Once back she found me an appointment and fitted the saddle so I could ride it before the event. I can honestly say that the positioning of the new saddle was perfect and completed the race with no pain. I couldn’t thank Nicky enough and would totally recommend her.

Cycling and running have been unbearable for me for years. I have tried everything over the years - orthotics, podiatry, chiropractors and finally I learnt to just live with it. In recent months, my hours in the saddle have increased due to entering endurance events and with this has been an increase in discomfort. Saddle sore beyond belief - angry red spots, cuts under the butt cheeks that scabbed making training horrific. Nothing worked & in fact the pain from the saddle caused pain everywhere else as I was moving so much to get comfy.

In a last ditch to resolve this, I went to see Nicky! I was apprehensive going to a real athlete, moaning that in my less than amateur events I was sore. I was treated with total respect and taken seriously. The appointment was so detailed - I was there for 6 hours.

Firstly she carried out a physical examination and went through my medical history.

The first bit of wizardry was when she tweaked my cleats. The instant change to my pedal stroke was unbelievable. I instantly started to put more power through the pedals & reached for a bigger gear.

Saddle next - a video and examination showed my position to be hanging over on the left cheek. This was resulting in the majority of the rash to my right cheek and pain in my right hip and knee. I was given the option to try various saddles with Nicky analysing the movement. I went for the Specialised Mimic. The instant I started pedalling I was pain free - my sit bone was not banging with every pedal stroke and I can honestly say I have ridden pain free since.

Next came alteration to saddle height, stem and bars. Wow who knew riding a bike could be comfortable??

I suffer with terrible foot pain when doing any form of exercise. So many appointments and specialists in their fields have failed to help with this. Nicky delved and through extensive knowledge it is probable this is a neurological issue. Insoles were fitted into my shoes and these have massively helped this problem and work continues in this area.

A week after the fit, I rode the Dragon Ride. 100 miles and just over 2000 meters of climbing.

I did not feel any (I mean any) pain in my butt!! I can honestly say I did not ache one bit the following day.

For anyone, particularly ladies out there, who feel like packing in because it flipping hurts my advice would be run don’t walk to Nicky. She’s an absolute wizard 🧙

Had been putting off getting a Bike Fit for some time but I'm so glad that I went to Reform Health. Nicky has expert knowledge of all things bikes/ physiology and really went above and beyond to ensure I went out of the session in such a better position.

Cannot recommend enough!

I've just had my TT bike with with Nicky and I'm extremely impressed! Nicky clearly loves what she does, is passionate about it and wants to do the best for her clients.

We spent time learning my body, how it moves, the limits it can go to and then we applied those findings to tweaking my bike position to provide more comfort, power and aerodynamics.

Not only did we gain so much physically on the bike, I personally gained a huge amount of knowledge just by talking to Nicky. She has so much information and is more than happy to answer questions and talk through the science of Bike Fit and the body mechanics.

I'm so grateful for her help during and after the bike fit and I wont hesitate to visit again for upgrades or tweaks in the future!

Thank you so much!

Nicky’s knowledge of bodies and bikes is a very effective combination. The effect of her correctly fitting my bike was brilliant - more comfort, more power, less pain, more stability, less fatigue and more fun. I thoroughly recommend a visit to Nicky if you have any doubt at all that you and your bike are working well together.
I was recommended a visit to Nicky after my husband had a bike fit with her. I was reluctant to go - I had a fit at the bike shop where I bought my lovely Trek Domane and I am an experienced cyclist and thought any aches and pains were due to my advancing years (60). I am so pleased I went - I have rekindled my love of cycling. Thanks Nicky!

I only had minor issues with my bike but small adjustments that Nicky made have solved the problems.
Wouldn't use anyone else now, if I ever need any more help.

I had a bike fit tweaking session with Nicky last night and it was brilliant. Nicky is amazing, she’s a real expert and my bike feels 1,000x comfier now and much better optimised. It's like a new bike.

Nicky really goes into detail, explaining all the theory in a way that's easy to understand so you're fully in-the-know. I learned so much from my appointment. She even gave me some tips on bike handling which I'm really grateful for as a fairly new cyclist.

Nicky even stayed late to see me as I have a race coming up, even though her diary was fully booked for a few weeks. What a legend, thanks Nicky!

I 100% recommend Nicky's approach to bike fits, she knows her subject and best for me, she understands the mechanical issues associated with my broken and repaired joints.

I was looking at purchasing a new bike for long distance cycle (Audaxing, Ultra Racing) and wanted to make sure that the setup on my current bike was the best setup moving forward. I had a bike in mind, so I forward the specifications to Nicky which she used to setup her bike ridge. I had specific questions such as the best crank arm length form my injuries and the dimensions of the arm reach and handlebar width to reduce numbness within left-hand. By the time I had completed the consultation I was able to make definitive decisions about my new bike requirements.

Once I received my new bike, I rode it for about 300miles and then went for a follow-up consultation. Riding the bike allowed me to identify any issues which I wanted to raise. Nicky was excellent at answering and exploring the alternatives options to these questions. By the time I left, I had confidence that the bike setup was right for me! After a couple of 200km and 300km training rides I participated in the Race Across Belgium clocking up nearly 500miles in 3 days with no numbness in the hands and I was able to use the drops more confidently and without pain in the wrists.

Give Nicky a call, you will not be disappointed.

Recently had a bike fitting with Nicky even though the bike was generally ok (I thought) the tuning has made an amazing difference. Positioning is much better, relieving both hand numbness and post-ride knee ache.
She's really easy to talk to and explains everything that going on through the whole process.
As others have said Nicky is really passionate about helping get the best from you and the bike.

Highly recommended!
