Professional Bike Fitting
Bike adjustments and strengthening tips are generalizations, and may not work for your individual needs. If you have tried the above suggestions without success or want an individualized fit, you would benefit from a professional bike fitting. The fitting I perform is both a static and dynamic bike fit, where static measurements and adjustments are combined with a dynamic movement analysis and orthopedic examination. A proper bike fit is a marriage between the bike and the rider, so one needs to look at both the bike and the person when performing a bike fit. Getting a professional bike fit can significantly reduce pain associated with your riding, reduce the chances of developing future overuse injuries, and perhaps, best of all improve, your performance.

"From the friendly and warm welcome to the efficient check-in process to the dedication of the physical therapists, I can't recommend Excel PT highly enough. My running injury improved thanks to the expert knowledge of Dr. Lunden and while I hope I don't have to return, if necessary, I know whom to call for quick and caring relief. Thank you Excel PT!" -- Bozeman Patient
