1. Exercising in a motivating environment

A common challenge in rehabilitation is maintaining patient motivation. Many clients find exercises boring or repetitive, which can reduce treatment adherence. Bike Labyrinth changes that. Patients no longer cycle "to nowhere" but embark on virtual journeys through places like the streets of Amsterdam, the Veluwe, or even Paris. The visual input and familiar environments create distraction, enjoyment, and engagement. This increases not only the joy of movement but also the frequency and duration of sessions.

2. Low physical strain, high effectiveness

Cycling is naturally joint-friendly. Since the saddle supports body weight, there is minimal pressure on knees, hips, and ankles. This makes cycling, especially virtual cycling, ideal for people with obesity, osteoarthritis, rheumatism, or post-surgery recovery. Circulation is improved, muscles are strengthened, and endurance increases - without overloading fragile joints.

3. Supporting cognitive and mental health

Cycling doesn’t just benefit the body, it also enhances brain health. It increases blood flow to the brain, sharpens focus, and supports memory. Bike Labyrinth amplifies this effect: by riding through recognizable or stimulating environments, both the legs and the brain are activated. This is especially beneficial for clients with dementia or post-stroke conditions. Recalling memories, recognizing visuals, and making associations naturally stimulate cognitive functions.

4. Suitable for a wide range of patients

From elderly clients with limited mobility to those in neurorehabilitation, Bike Labyrinth is highly versatile. Adjustable resistance (depending on the trainer), interactive choices, and a library of over 800 locations allow the experience to be tailored to each individual’s level and needs. Plus, the system is easy to use, even for those with limited digital skills, making it an accessible tool for every physiotherapist.

5. Improved adherence and trackable progress

Because virtual cycling is fun, patient adherence tends to increase significantly. And that matters: consistent exercise is essential for recovery and health. Some systems can also connect to software to track patient activity, allowing physiotherapists to monitor distance, intensity, and route preferences for more personalized care.

6. Ideal for group settings

Bike Labyrinth can also be used in group sessions. Cycling together in a virtual world enhances the social side of therapy. Patients share experiences, choose routes together, or reminisce when riding through familiar places. This shared experience strengthens social connection and lowers barriers for those who may otherwise feel isolated.

Bike Labyrinth: a smart investment in movement and experience

Cycling is healthy, that’s a given. But virtual cycling with Bike Labyrinth takes it to the next level. It blends physical exercise with mental engagement, fun with therapeutic purpose, and technology with compassionate care. For physiotherapists, it’s a powerful tool to make treatment more engaging, effective, and enjoyable. Whether for recovery, prevention, or activation, Bike Labyrinth helps you get more out of every pedal stroke.
