Professional Bike Fitting 

in Arlington, VA

Ride Farther, Stronger, and Pain-Free

As a physical therapist specializing in endurance athletes, I provide professional bike fittings in Arlington, Virginia designed to reduce pain, prevent injury, and help you perform at your best. Unlike standard bike shop fits, a PT-led bike fitting uses clinical expertise in movement and biomechanics to adapt your bike precisely to your body — not the other way around.

Whether you’re training for your next triathlon, gravel race, or weekend century, a custom bike fitting ensures every ride feels smoother, more efficient, and pain-free.

How a Physical Therapist Bike Fit Can Help You

Many cyclists struggle with knee pain, back tightness, or numb hands — all caused by subtle misalignments between the rider and the bike. A professional bike fitting performed by a physical therapist addresses the root cause by analyzing your anatomy, flexibility, and pedal mechanics, then adjusting your setup for ideal support and power transfer.

With the right fit, you’ll experience:

  • Less knee, hip, and lower-back pain

  • Better comfort on long rides

  • Improved pedaling efficiency and endurance

  • Greater confidence and control on the bike

Book your fitting today and discover how small, precise changes can transform your time on the bike — from surviving the ride to loving every mile.

  • During your fitting, we measure critical joint angles including knee flexion, trunk flexion, and elbow flexion.

    • Knee flexion determines your optimal saddle height and fore-aft position for efficient power output.

    • Trunk flexion guides handlebar height and reach, ensuring a stable, aerodynamic, and comfortable posture.

    • Elbow flexion fine-tunes how your upper body absorbs vibration and stabilizes the front end of the bike.

    Using this data, we find the balance between comfort, aerodynamics, and injury prevention — so your position supports endurance rather than limits it.

  • Description text goes hereWe use an adjustable stem tool to determine your ideal handlebar reach, height, and angle in real time. This tool lets us make on-the-spot changes while you ride the trainer, observing how each adjustment affects your posture, comfort, and breathing. By testing multiple positions, we pinpoint the setup that supports your natural mechanics — reducing tension in your neck, shoulders, and hands. Once we find your ideal position, we replicate it exactly with a fixed stem on your bike.

  • Description text goes hYour connection to the bike starts at your feet. Using a laser level alignment system, we align your cleats based on your anatomical landmarks, such as the heads of the first and fifth metatarsals. The laser projects a guide along your leg and foot axis, allowing us to place your cleats so that every pedal stroke aligns with your body’s biomechanics.

    This method reduces joint stress, enhances power transfer, and keeps your knees tracking naturally — helping you ride longer and stronger with fewer overuse injuries.ere
