Bike fit program

Enhance your ride with the right bike fit

If you've lost the joy of riding your bike because of discomfort, inefficiency or pure frustration, an improper bike fit could be the problem. Instead of parking your bike for good, talk to one of our physical therapists with advanced training in bike fitting. We know that a bike that fits well and matches your dimensions, flexibility and riding style will enhance your cycling experience.

Staffed by physical therapists certified in bike fitting, our specialized program is ideal for all levels of cyclists including commuters, competitive road racers, triathletes and leisure/recreational riders. This advanced training in cycling biomechanical analysis is key to evaluating musculoskeletal conditions and assessing bike positioning.

Become one with your bike

We know that if any part of your bike is too big or too small – even by just a fraction of an inch – it can lead to an uncomfortable ride. Improper bike fit can put added stress on your joints and trigger discomfort. Learn about the benefits of a proper bike fit.

To improve your ride, we'll start by adjusting your bike to fit your body. We'll also evaluate your flexibility and strength, and then coach you on training techniques to enhance your cycling performance.

Different from traditional bike fitting at a cycling store, we combine our knowledge of how bodies move – known as body mechanics – with advanced techniques to increase your comfort and reduce your risk of injury. When fine tuning your bike, we'll adjust your handlebars, pedals and seat to fit your body and riding style.

Based on your specific needs, we'll also recommend core strengthening, stretching and other training tips to help relieve stress on your joints and improve your performance.

How our bike fitting services work

Ready to elevate your ride? We’ll help you find your perfect fit in five easy steps.

1. Evaluating your form and style

Using a training device that holds your bike still, we'll review the position of your legs, neck and wrists while you ride. Next, we'll talk about your riding style. Are you a casual, upright rider or are you tucked for long, fast rides?

2. Inspecting your bike

We'll also examine your bike and discuss any discomfort you may be experiencing when you ride.

3. Assessing your fitness level

Next, we'll perform a musculoskeletal evaluation to assess your current strength, flexibility and range of motion, and address any problems that could make riding uncomfortable such as knee or back pain. Learn more about all the conditions we treat.

4. Adjusting your bike

Based on all the information we gathered, we’ll adjust your bike to fit your needs.

5. Helping you overcome pain and discomfort

We'll also help you overcome pain and discomfort with special exercises you can perform on your own, including special stretches to release tension in your shoulders, one of the most common causes of an uncomfortable ride.
