Pedal Fit is about you.
Built on the foundation of performance and refined by physical therapist expertise. Every Pedal Fit experience is unique because you are, too!
Here’s what you can expect when you work with Pedal Fit.
Step 1: Subjective
This is not your average "check-the-box" interview. There are no prefabricated questions or answers because you know more about yourself than anyone else. Your answers guide our questions to determine performance and injury-related issues.
Step 2: Physical Therapy Examination
There is much more to your body than size and stretch. With a Doctorate of Physical Therapy, we know how to find and understand the details that make you unique. This involves head-to-toe skilled evaluation of your musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems.
Manual Muscle Testing
Soft Tissue Palpation
Manual (Hands-On) Assessment
Nerve Mobility
Peripheral Joint Mobility
Spinal Mobility
Function-Specific Special Testing
Movement Screening
Gross Postural & Limb Symmetry
Step 3: Static and Dynamic Assessment
This is what you have been waiting for, starting with an on-bike static evaluation of joint angles, body positioning, and posture followed by the dynamic evaluation (riding and pedaling) of your body's motion control and biomechanics. Using a comprehensive and fully integrated movement assessment to determine optimal component and bike modifications, compensation strategies, pedaling skills, and more.
Step 4: Bike Modifications and MORE
Here is where we put it all together. To start, you will have a comprehensive discussion with your Pedal Fit PT. This is important because there are two machines involved, you and your bike. Bike fit can vary depending on your ability to make investments of time, money, and/or effort. Once your goals and desires are established, we make optimal bike modifications, cycling shoe/cleat adjustments, component considerations/changes, treatment techniques, exercise prescription, and/or education are provided accordingly.
Step 5: Communication
After your fit we are happy to hear from you. We will provide you with the written details from step 1-4. You provide us with your questions.
