Bike fitting at Be Ready PT helps cyclists reduce pain, improve comfort, and increase efficiency on the bike through a physical therapy-based assessment. The service evaluates body mechanics, strength, and riding position to optimize fit, support performance, and prevent overuse injuries during training and long rides.

Don’t let discomfort, numbness, or fatigue limit your time in the saddle.

Bike Fitting With Pain and Performance in Mind

We help you eliminate pain on the bike, improve efficiency, and optimize your position through a comprehensive PT-based bike fit that considers your body mechanics, strength, and movement patterns.

If time in the saddle leads to back, neck, knee, hand, or saddle pain — or if your performance feels stuck — meaningful improvements are often possible with a precise bike fit and follow-up support.

  • Comprehensive cycling biomechanical assessment included
  • Build comfort, power, and durability on the bike

What Does Bike Fitting Include?

You receive a structured, bike-specific assessment and adjustment plan designed to match your body, goals, and riding style.

Bike Fitting includes:

  • Comprehensive cycling movement and biomechanics assessment
  • Evaluation of saddle height, fore/aft/tilt, and overall positioning
  • Cleat, pedal, handlebar, and stem assessment and adjustment
  • Strength and flexibility considerations integrated into your fit
  • Follow-up guidance and performance strategies

Want a fit built around how you ride and how your body moves?

How Does the Bike Fitting Process Work?

Our approach combines physical therapy expertise with precise bike adjustment — not just quick tweaks.

Step 1: Listen First. Reduce Pain.

  • We listen to what’s going on and how it’s affecting your life or training. 
  • We assess how you move, watch the activities that matter to you
  • We evaluate what’s contributing to pain or limitation

Leave your first visit with clarity and a clear plan forward.

Step 2: Fix the Root Cause.

Pain usually comes from not handling load well. We improve the mobility, control, and strength your body needs to move confidently again.

Receive your custom movement and strength plan—with clear guidance on what to do between visits, no guessing required.

    Step 3: Keep You Moving Long-Term.

    Our goal isn’t endless visits.  It’s helping you understand your body well enough to manage it confidently.

    By the end, you’re not just feeling better—you know how to stay better.

    What We’ve Learned Helping Cyclists In The Real World

    Riding pain is not “just part of cycling.” It often comes from the interaction between your body mechanics and your bike setup.

    From working with cyclists, we’ve learned:

    • Discomfort often comes from sustained positions and subtle imbalances — not just lack of strength.
    • Proper positioning unlocks comfort and reduces compensatory strain.
    • Integrating strength and mobility into a fit improves outcomes
    • Even small adjustments can have big impacts on performance and comfort.

    I can’t express how much Anne has helped me not only is she getting my knee and hips back together physically she has also been a personal sound board some days!! My main concern was being able to still workout and heal and that’s exactly what she did. I went in and said I can’t sit still 😂😂 if you need a true PT that keeps you working out and fixing you, Anne is the answer!! The only regret I have is not seeing her back in January when I first injured my knee!!

    Was originally skeptical of the pricing structure (not taking insurance), but I’m glad I decided to go with them. I had undiagnosed nerve damage that was causing a lot of issues. After a few sessions I was back to my normal workouts again. Tried several other options before this, wish I would’ve started here! Team is friendly, knowledgeable, and super easy to work with!

    BeReady was recommended to me from some friends who needed to recover from a sports injury. Being in a similar situation, I decided to give them a shot. Without a doubt, the best decision I’ve made. Andrea has been amazing to work with and has not only helped me recover from multiple surgeries but allowed me to continue to play the sports I love.

    This is hands down the best physical therapy clinic I’ve ever been to. I came in with a big challenge: to get race-ready for a half marathon just four days away, despite lingering calf and hip pain. Anna quickly diagnosed my issues, treated my calves with dry needling, and provided me with a tailored plan for the days leading up to the race, including a pre-race routine. To my surprise, I ran the entire half marathon pain-free, and remained pain-free afterward as well! What truly sets BRPT (and Anna) apart is her dedication; she followed up with me regularly and clearly cared about my progress every step of the way. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!

    Dr Anna has been instrumental in getting me through my half marathon training. I came in with some lingering hip pain and she was able to devise a treatment plan that not only helped adress the pain, it’s helped strengthen me as a runner to prevent other future injuries. Highly recommend

    Andrea is beyond kind and amazing — she helped me recovery from injury and train for a marathon (PR) at the same time!

    Our Benchmarks And Patterns We See In Cyclists

    Cyclists improve fastest when position, strength, and comfort are treated together.

    Common patterns we see:

    • Back or neck discomfort → improved posture and core stability → smoother longer rides
    • Knee irritation → refined cleat and saddle alignment → stronger pedaling mechanics
    • Hand or wrist numbness → handlebar and position adjustments → relaxed control
    • Fatigue on long rides → adjusted load distribution → sustained power

    Typical timelines:

    • Early comfort changes often appear within the first session
    • Meaningful performance gains build over follow-ups as positioning and strength integrate

    FAQs About the Bike Fitting

    How Quickly Will I Notice Progress?

    Many cyclists feel changes immediately once their bike position is optimized, especially in areas like back, neck, or knee comfort.

    Deeper improvements in power, endurance, and training tolerance continue as your body adapts to the new position and any recommended strength work.

    Do I Need A Referral?

    No referral is required to get started.

    You can schedule your bike fitting directly. If additional physical therapy is needed, we’ll guide you on next steps.

    Can I Still Train Between Sessions?

    Yes. Most cyclists continue riding, especially once the initial fit highlights immediate comfort improvements.

    We’ll help you manage volume and intensity so your body adapts to the new position while continuing training.

    How Do You Track Progress?

    Progress is tracked through comfort feedback, movement assessment, and ride performance.

    Follow-up sessions fine-tune your fit and help lock in longer-term benefits.

    What Does Bike Fitting Cost?

    Plans start at $149 per session.

    Pricing depends on:

    • Session frequency
    • Complexity of your riding goals
    • Whether follow-ups or strength/mobility training are added

    Before you commit, we’ll recommend a fit plan that matches your riding and comfort goals with full transparency.
