Bike Fit
A properly fitted bike will make the most effective use of your energy, make your ride more comfortable, and help prevent injury. IMPACT Bike Fits provide a unique experience compared to a typical bike fit you may receive at a local bike shop.
Reasons to get a bike fit at IMPACT:
• You’re experiencing pain while riding
• You’ve previously had a bike fit without much change to your pain
• To assess your alignment while riding*
What to expect during a bike fit?
During your bike fit we will first determine your cycling goals, identify prior injuries and discuss any pain/discomfort you feel while riding. We will next evaluate your alignment off the bike. We will then watch you pedal, assess your alignment on the bike, measure your fit on the bike and make adjustments to your bike as applicable. We will evaluate both your profile on the bike and also your foot/pedal interface (for those who use clipless pedals).
How is a bike fit at IMPACT different from a bike fit at a local bike shop?
We will perform a complete musculoskeletal evaluation to identify biomechanical issues that may cause pain or malalignment while cycling. We will focus on your postural asymmetry both on and off the bike. We will evaluate your alignment, strength, and flexibility to fit your bike to YOU.
What to bring to your Bike Fit?
Bring your bike and the biking clothes and shoes you typically wear when you ride. If you use clipless pedals it is important that you bring your cycling shoes with you as well.
*In order to treat the bike fit as a physical therapy evaluation appointment and bill your insurance you must have pain while riding your bike.
