    Aiden Hammond is one of the main experts in the area

    looks like it's €150 for a standard bike fit with aidan hammond.
    however, some problems could be down to a strength/conditioning issue.
    might be worth trying some of the exercises here: https://www.cyclingweekly.com/fitness/bike-fit/lower-back-pain-dont-blame-the-bike-32094

    Got mine done here a few months ago and they are top notch.
    130 euro and they go through a lot more than you just sitting on a bike.

    I had mine done here as well, and I also found them great. There was more time spent on my posture than there was actually making adjustments to the bike

    I'd highly recommend Aidan Hammond, he's a trained physical therapist as well as a bike fitter. I went to him years ago with a problem with my knee and he sorted me out with a proper fit as well as strengthening exercises which cured me.
