Time to get those bikes out!
April 15, 2010
As this forgettable winter concludes, it may be a good idea to think about your bike and how it fits your body and riding style. We are now offering a “Medical Bike Fit” for individuals who are experiencing musculoskeletal symptoms that may be related to their bike setup. The evaluation will include:
· 30 minute physical therapy examination with treatment as warranted
· 30 minute Comprehensive Bike Fit Analysis (road and mountain bikes).
If you are not experiencing symptoms and are only interested in a bike fitting, we do offer comprehensive bike fit alone at a reduced cost.
WHY CAN’T THE BIKE SHOP FIT MY BIKE? They can! However, in addition to being experts in biomechanics, when you are experiencing pain or symptoms related to riding, physical therapists are uniquely trained to treat the musculoskeletal disorders that can occur with riding.
If you are interested call Finn at 879-8026 or email finn@kineticnenergypt.com.
