Stop guessing.
Start measuring.

Physiotherapy, bike fitting, aerodynamic testing and a metabolic lab — under one roof, run by one person. So the advice you get is joined up instead of guessed at.

What I do

Four ways to answer the same question.

Most clinics treat pain. Most shops sell fits. Most labs hand you a number. Doing all four means the answer actually fits your situation.

Track cyclist riding in an aerodynamic position during aero testing

New — 01

Aero Testing

Field aerodynamic testing with the Aerosensor system. Real CdA numbers from real riding, with repeatability comparable to a wind tunnel — measured on the roads you actually race on, not modelled.

Why UpHill

I've been the patient on the other side of the table.

Before this clinic there was military service, strength and conditioning, sports science, and a Masters of Physiotherapy at the University of Canberra. I'm an ESSA Accredited Sports Scientist, and I've worked with amateurs, elites and Olympians.

I've also had a heart transplant. That's why UpHill exists, and it's why I don't hand out generic programs. When someone tells you what your body can and can't do, it matters whether they've had to rebuild their own.

Discover resilience, conquer challenges, and reach new heights.

The differentiator

Wind tunnel answers, on your road.

Above 30km/h, most of the power you make goes into moving air. It's the biggest variable in your performance — and the one almost nobody has actually measured.

  • Measured, not modelled. Your real CdA, from real riding.
  • One variable at a time. Know which change bought which watts.
  • Road, velodrome or indoors. No interstate booking required.

Plain-English answers, before you book.

Why comfort beats aero in a bike fit, what a VO2max number actually tells you, and how field aero testing measures your real CdA.

How field aero testing works, and why CdA beats guesswork

Field aero testing measures your real CdA on the road with wind-tunnel comparable repeatability. How a test session runs and who benefits.

What VO2max testing actually tells you (and what it does not)

VO2max is the number everyone quotes, but your thresholds matter more for daily training. What a metabolic test measures and how to use it.

Why a bike fit should start with comfort, not aerodynamics

Aero positions only pay off if you can hold them. Why comfort comes first in a bike fit, and what happens when fitters get the order backwards. ...

Pain that won't settle, a position that hurts after two hours, or a number you want to beat — start with a conversation.
