i went to balance in balham but
it was expensive.
i felt they were pushing me towards £250 on a bike fit
they didn't actually tell me what was causing the problem.
they gave me one simple exercise that didn't really do anything.
i left feeling they wanted to string out the treatment over several visits racking up the bill.
im not saying they were a bad physio, they obviously aren't but i personally recommend CP over them.
the sports clinic was a totally different experience in that i left knowing exactly what had caused the problem and how to go about changing it. a series of exercises/stretches to do.
they do bike fitting there but after talking about bike position and a quick look at me on the bike they said you seem sorted with your position but we offer a service if you feel you need it.
the physio session cost about £45 compared to £75 at Balance.
Nick at Sigma did my shoe/cleat/footbed fit. i wish i had gone to see the specialists sooner and not missed out on a summer of riding.
