  • Anyone who has discomfort related to cycling (e.g. low back pain, knee pain, saddle or hand numbness during or after cycling, etc.).
  • Recreational and competitive cyclists that want to maximize their efficiency and comfort on the bike and to reduce the risk of developing overuse injuries.
  • We are currently offering bike fits from our highly trained professional bike fitter, Rob Wright.
  • Refer to Rob Wright’s website for more information about his bike fitting services: Bike Fit Solutions

What does the bike fit include?

  • A thorough history of current injuries, past injuries, training volume, and racing goals.
  • A physical examination of leg length, limb alignment, overall mobility and flexibility, posture and any other biomechanical issues that are relevant to the bike fit.
  • Observation and documentation of current riding position.
  • Adjustments to the bike and cleats are made to optimize the fit (note: in some cases you will be advised to get different parts for the bike). Final bike position measurements are documented.
  • Instruction is given on proper riding posture and technique.
  • Specific therapeutic exercises are prescribed as needed. This assessment is useful for any athlete (competitive or recreational) that is interested in injury prevention and optimal movement efficiency.

Kenny, thank you so much for my recent treatment. Having never experienced myofascial release massage therapy I was unsure at first but as the treatment went on I started to feel a deep release in my muscles and joints.
