If age, wear and tear or past injuries are limiting your enjoyment of cycling, an ergonomic bike fit performed by a knowledgeable physical therapist and bike fitter can get you back on your bike without pain. A great ergonomic bike fit can help you find the balance between comfort, efficiency and performance. A physical therapist bike fit at Focus Physical Therapy takes biomechanical bike fitting to another level by individualizing your fit to your body, with your unique history, anatomy, joint, motor control and muscle needs.
Common complaints addressed in an ergonomic bike fit include:
- Neck and Low Back Pain

- Hip Pain
- Foot, Ankle or Toe pain
We offer:
A comprehensive bike fit. During the 1.5 – 2 hour process, we look at the following:

Your fit may be covered by insurance if you have a treatable physical therapy problem that affects other activities in addition to cycling. Co-insurance, co-payments and deductibles apply.
A La Carte
We offer the following a la carte services
- Choose new bicycle saddles, cleats/pedals and handlebars

Price: $150 per service up to one hour. $60 each additional half hour.
Beyond Cycling
If cycling isn’t your only sport, consider adding a running or multisport athlete service. Our running analysis is key for cyclists who also run, since the movements and strength/flexibility requirements are different between the sports and imbalances are common. Ask about our programs specifically for runners.
