Reasons to get a Bike Fit by a PT:
- Most Bike fitters become certified after a series of educational courses. They may have a background in cycling, fitness, or as a bike mechanic.
- A physical therapist (PT) has specialized education and training as a musculoskeletal specialist who understands the biomechanics of the body. They are able to not only bike fit, but also identify joint, muscle, tendon, and nerve imbalances or injuries that may be affecting your riding. A PT can also provide the education and treatment to go hand in hand with your bike fit to overcome your pain and injuries.
