Professional Bike Fit in Los Altos

Ride farther. Ride faster. Ride pain-free.

Whether you’re training for your next race, preparing for a triathlon, commuting to work, or simply riding for fun, the right bike fit can improve comfort, efficiency, and performance while reducing your risk of injury.

At Agile Physical Therapy, our Medical-Performance Bike Fitting combines a comprehensive biomechanical evaluation with expert bike adjustments to optimize the connection between you and your bike.

Unlike a traditional bike shop fit that focuses primarily on your bicycle, our Doctors of Physical Therapy evaluate how your body moves to identify mobility restrictions, strength deficits, flexibility limitations, and movement patterns that may be contributing to pain or limiting your performance.

Conveniently located in Los Altos, we provide professional bike fitting for cyclists throughout Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Altos Hills, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Saratoga, Menlo Park, and the surrounding Silicon Valley.

Why Get a Bike Fit from a Physical Therapist?

Many bike shops provide excellent bike fits.

Our approach is different.

A traditional bike fit focuses primarily on adjusting your bicycle.

Our Medical-Performance Bike Fitting evaluates both the rider and the bike.

Because your bike fit is performed by a Doctor of Physical Therapy, we can identify movement dysfunctions, mobility restrictions, muscle imbalances, previous injuries, and biomechanical factors that may be contributing to discomfort or limiting your performance.

The result is a bike fit designed to optimize comfort, maximize efficiency, reduce injury risk, and help you enjoy every ride.

• Recreational cyclists
