Bike Fit

Whether you're an avid cyclist or just want to improve your cycling performance, our bike fit service can help. During these 60- or 90-minute evaluations, our physical therapists--who are certified by Serotta International Cycling Institute (SICI), as well as avid cyclists--perform a musculoskeletal assessment to determine any flexibility or strengthening imbalances that may be causing you pain or lead to injuries during cycling. We also offer cyclists video analysis using the CompuTrainer 3D interactive motion software. This analysis provides you with your instant/average/peak: watts, cadence, heart rate, speed and distance.

Bike Fit Evaluation with Musculoskeletal Assessment (Option 1; 1 hour): $150
A musculoskeletal assessment is conducted to determine any flexibility or strengthen imbalances that may cause pain or may lead to injuries during cycling. Cyclists receive exercise suggestions specific to their individual assessment.

The evaluation includes analyzing frame size; handlebar position; saddle height and position; reach, stem length and angle; and knee alignment.

Cyclists receive suggestions for optimal riding positions, pedaling techniques, and bicycle modifications. We help achieve the perfect cycling position for maximum comfort and efficiency.
