Bike-Fit Assessments

Our personal, collaborative bike-fit process will help you find the ideal on-bike position based on your:

  • Biomechanics.
  • Cycling goals.
  • Fitness level.
  • Health history.
  • Physiology.

We offer an unbiased, clinical approach that includes:

  • Both physical and mechanical variables related to injury.
  • Cycling-specific musculoskeletal assessment.
  • Cycling-related injury assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation recommendations.
  • Complication of documented fit recommendations.
  • Focus on medical management – application for both prevention and performance.
  • Musculoskeletal considerations involving injury management and prevention.

Our beginner-level fit program is designed for the cyclist looking for an injury-free ride in proper biomechanical positioning.

If you're looking for better management of a cycling-related injury or an issue limiting your enjoyment of cycling, this is the program for you.

This program is for any cyclist — whether you're a:

  • Club racer.
  • Cyclist seeking injury management.
  • Serious road rider.
  • Weekend century rider.
  • We'll help you achieve more power, control, comfort, and efficiency.
