Medical Bike Fit
If you have neck, back, or knee pain, saddle sores, or hand or foot numbness, your bicycle probably doesn't fit you properly. Correct cycling position is key to decreasing pain and preventing injuries as well as improving power and efficiency.  A bike fit performed by a physical therapist also includes a biomechanical evaluation to determine if your cycling posture and pedaling mechanics need improvement.

Previous injuries can change riding symmetry and result in imbalances that can be corrected. Using tools ranging from video analysis software to manual therapies of massage and joint manipulation we are able to adapt the bike to work around the individual and teach the athlete to perform with optimum mechanics. For injured riders, your physical therapist will develop specific restorative exercise routines to help restore function and balance performance. Reboudn treats cyclists ranging from casual commuters with knee pain to world cup racers in mountain biking, road biking, and triathalon.
