Clinical Bike Fitting
Cycling demands more synchrony between athlete and equipment than perhaps any other athletic endeavor. A well fitting bike can be the difference between an amazing ride and one that leads to discomfort, pain, or even an injury. Finding the right bike fit can be even more challenging for those who are dealing with injuries.
Common complaints from riders that I see frequently include back pain, knee pain, foot pain, and neck pain that often cause people to cut their rides short or even avoid riding altogether. For decades riders have turned to bike fitting to address these issues by improving their positioning on their bikes. However, traditional bike fitting often addresses only the surface of these complaints, leaving underlying issues unresolved.
As a physical therapist I saw the unique opportunity to combine the benefits of a thorough PT evaluation with the technical benefits of bike fitting to create a more comprehensive experience that will address the current issues related to discomfort and pain when biking, but also impact the root cause of injuries and pain. With a complete evaluation of the musculoskeletal system and your unique anatomy in hand, we can inform the fitting process with a level of detail that is unmatched.
During your Clinical Bike Fitting you will be at the center of the entire experience. Rather than relying on complex technology that fits you to the average of all riders, we will focus on how your unique strengths and limitations impact your position on the bike, providing you with the best riding experience possible. You will leave with confidence in your bike fit, whether you are heading for a cruise down a bike trail or are planning a multi day bike packing trip.
The most crucial difference between traditional fittings and the Cycle Life Clinical Bike Fit is the addition of a comprehensive exercise prescription. Taking the information from our exam we will build a program designed to help manage and alleviate any symptoms you are dealing with on and off bike. In addition, these exercises will be designed to boost performance and efficiency so riding will become more fun than ever.
