Professional Bike Fitting
Why Choose a Professional Bike Fitting at Excel Physical Therapy?
At Excel, your Bike Fitting is performed by a medical professional. While we’re happy to tweak your seat height, we specialize in a much more complex fit than what you’d expect from a local bike shop. Our highly trained therapists delve in to find the root cause of any pain or dysfunction you may be having from an ill-fitting bike. If you’re riding through discomfort caused by previous injuries or movement abnormalities, we can help. Sometimes it’s the smallest changes that make the most profound differences. Our medical approach uncovers exactly what adjustments will make your riding experience one of positioned perfection. This is often covered by your medical insurance. Let our medical professionals make the changes you need to get back to pain-free cycling.
How Can a Professional Bike Fitting Help Me?
Whether you’re a cat 2 racer, mountain biker, or a complete novice, a professional bike fitting can make all the difference in the quality of your ride. Better alignment is sometimes the difference of millimeters, but it’s those millimeters that move you toward perfect alignment, reduce stress on the body and increase performance.
What to Expect from an Excel Physical Therapy Bike Fitting:
- Physical therapy evaluation performed by a specialized PT. Be sure to bring your bike and bike gear!
- Comprehensive muscle and joint assessment
- Exercise prescription for injury prevention and pain reduction
- Dynamic and static bike positioning assessment
- Adjustments for correct positioning of saddle, cleat/pedal, and handlebars
- Video analysis to detect problems in cycling form
- Typically involves 1 to 2 visits, lasting 1 to 1.5 hours
Will insurance cover my Bike Fitting?
Your medical insurance typically covers physical therapy pertaining to a medical diagnosis such as neck pain, knee tendonitis, etc. If you’re in pain while cycling, we’re usually able to bill your insurance for our services. If you don’t have medical insurance, call us about our Cash Pay Bike Fitting rates today.

"Your seminars have always been so helpful! I am recommending the one on plantar fasciitis to area dancers (ill fitting shoes, had such fun the first time that they spent hours on the dance floor). Can't wait to apply the information from this session. Thank you!" --C.N., Bozeman Patient
"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

Your core strengthening seminar was well presented with useful info! Can't wait to get the exercises. Wish I could have stayed longer. Thank You! - Kristi
Working with Excel physical therapists was time well spent. I originally went to David after suffering a head and neck injury. David was able to restore my full-range of motion after four visits. In conjunction with my head and neck issues, I had been dealing with some long-term low back and SI joint issues. David worked with me using spinal manipulation and exercises to alleviate my pain and allow me to get a good night’s sleep.”-Bozeman Patient
Excel Physical Therapy has more than exceeded my expectations! Your physical therapists' individualized attention to each patient is unique to your practice and makes a difference in the PT experience...Excel Physical Therapists are a prime example of what physical therapy should be! Thank you for everything!-Bozeman Patient
I went to three other PT clinics, two orthopedic surgeons, and several other practitioners before I was referred to you. In a few short weeks at your clinic, my neck and back pain is dramatically improved, I understand my problem, and now have the correct exercises so that I can help myself.”-Bozeman Patient
"Very helpful. Thank you for the handouts. They will be useful for my neck issues." RE: David Coletta, MPT, CMPT's Headaches Can Be a Pain From the Neck Seminar:
"I am training for a triathlon which involves lots and lots of hours on a time trial bike. I went to Jason to get my bike fit dialed in. He not only helped me get more aero but helped make it more comfortable. Secondly, he helped me with alignment with me feet and knees. The muscular pain I was having last year from doing the long rides in my back and glutes has not re-appeared this year. Thanks Jason. I am feeling faster and fitter because of the Professional Bike Fitting." -Bozeman Patient
Jason, Thank you for all of your help getting my IT band back into good shape this spring. I ran the Ridge Run on Saturday, and my legs felt great the whole way. I finished 8th in my age group and 18th overall for women at 5:14. --Bozeman Patient
Thank you to our patients who share their success stories with us. The following update is from a Bozeman patient of ours who recently completed rehab with Jason following knee surgery. After her surgery and rehab, she completed demanding hikes in the Highland Mary Lakes and Grand Turk regions in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado. She writes to Jason "...Again, my thanks for your persistence and ability to prescribe what was needed." Congratulations to D.H. for taking on these demanding long-distance hikes with elevations up to 12,400 feet! May her inspiring endeavor be an inspiration to others and especially, you, as well!
"David is great and extremely knowledgeable. Excited to begin treatment with him again." --Bozeman Patient
"...I can't tell you how much better things have gotten for me...both for my knees, but almost more importantly, for my hip/piriformis. I am so psyched. Thanks a ton for all your help through this!! Now I'm hoping for snow and a good ski season!" --Bozeman Patient
...Everything is great with my shoulder, I started back in sports really hard and have had no pain...I am training hard this year in order to achieve the goal I set for myself for the end of the year, to finish the IRONMAN of Nice, France. I wanted to thank you once again for your work, it allowed me to help myself to get back the entire mobility of my arm and play sports again. --Bozeman Patient
"Jason is always in a cheerful mood & goes out of his way for patient comfort. He is a true professional in his field. My progress is more than I expected." --Manhattan Patient
"I was struggling with wrist pain for over a year, and I thought I had to do surgery and injections to make it better. Jason was a life-saver. I am doing my exercises, and my work at the computer doesn't bother me any more! I feel ready to resume my yoga practices as well. I am very happy Excel physical therapy was recommended to me, and I recommend it to you!" --Bozeman Patient
"Here is the picture of me taken at the Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand, seven months after 2 rotator cuff surgeries and physical therapy by Jason." --Nancy Dodd

"Just when I thought that no one and nothing could help me take away the numbness in my fingers and neck pain, enter David Coletta and his treatment plan for me. A combination of dry needling, manipulation and mobilization treatments and several exercises have increased my range of motion and eliminated my neck pain and finger tingling. I couldn't believe this could actually work but it truly has. All the good things I've heard about David are true--he really is a master! Thank you to this entire group of great people at Excel PT for helping me feel much better." --Bozeman neck patient
"Jason, Thank you for helping me with my Bike Fit! I am happy to report that I have done several long rides - and I'm PAIN FREE!...I am ecstatic!" --Bozeman patient

I have developed a number of physical health problems over the years. David worked with me one-on-one to successfully treat a serious nerve problem which limited my ability to drive. David and his staff are among the finest therapists I have had the pleasure of working with. I highly recommend them to anyone who has physical health challenges and need the best care possible." --J.D., Bozeman Patient
