Bike Fitting

Ride without pain.
Perform at your best.

Professional bike fitting by a physical therapist — eliminating pain, preventing overuse injury, and optimizing your power and efficiency through PT-level biomechanical expertise.

What We Do

The only bike fit backed by physical therapy expertise.

Most cycling pain comes from bike position — not pathology. Our PT-led bike fit goes beyond saddle height to assess your full-body mechanics, injury history, and movement quality on the bike — then builds a position that's right for your anatomy.

Basic Fit — $150 / 60 min

Includes: rider history, flexibility and strength assessment, on-bike mechanics review, saddle height/tilt/fore-aft, handlebar adjustment, brake lever and shifter positioning, and equipment recommendations.

Complete Fit — $250 / 90 min

Everything in the Basic Fit plus cleat assessment and adjustment, Salsa stem sizer for trialing stem lengths, off-bike exercise prescriptions for asymmetry and mobility, and a 30-minute follow-up session 30 days later.

Road, Gravel, Mountain, Hybrid & E-Bikes

We fit all bike types. Bring your bike, your cycling shoes, and shorts that allow knee alignment assessment. Cleats should be in good condition — we recommend replacing them annually.

Why It Matters

A proper bike fit eliminates most cycling pain — and prevents what miles ahead might cause.

Knee pain, back pain, neck pain, saddle discomfort, and hand numbness are almost always position problems, not injury problems. One fit session can resolve what years of riding have built up — and protect the thousands of miles ahead.

1

Rider Interview & Injury History

We start with your riding history, current pain or discomfort, goals, and any past injuries or surgeries that affect how your body moves on a bike.

2

Off-Bike Physical Assessment

A PT-level assessment of your flexibility, strength, and mobility informs exactly how to set your bike up for your specific body.

3

On-Bike Fitting & Live Adjustment

Real-time adjustments while you ride — guided by our physical therapist's biomechanical expertise and visual analysis.

4

Follow-Up Session (Complete Fit)

A 30-minute follow-up 30 days later confirms the fit is working after real-world riding and allows fine-tuning based on your feedback.
