Pedal Fit
Based on philosophies by Natalie Collins, PT, DPT, COMT, and Bike Physical Therapist, we decided to bring the love of biking to Evolution and create something truly unique – physical therapy and fitness centered around biking. To us, the most important part of your time spent on your bike is YOU, and having a medical doctor of physical therapy evaluate the best fit and posture for your bike is only the first step of a very adventurous journey.
Pedal Fit has a 5-step approach.

The Q&A
- You know yourself best. Now it’s time for us to get to know you and learn about any performance and injury-related issues.
Physical Therapy Examination
- As doctors of physical therapy, we know how to find and understand details that make you unique from everybody else. We perform a head-to-toe evaluation of your musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems. Tests can include manual muscle testing, nerve mobility, functional movement screening, spinal mobility screening, manual assessment, and more.
Static and Dynamic Assessment
- We head to a static bike evaluation to check body position and posture, also looking at the riding and pedaling of your body’s motion control. The static and dynamic assessment is detailed, and it helps us develop necessary compensation strategies and learn more about your overall movement.
Bike Modifications
- The next step is the results. You’ll meet with your PT again to discuss your results and find out which modifications will be appropriate for your bike. Your PT will also go over cycling shoe/cleat alignment, treatment techniques, and related exercise prescriptions, and talk in more detail about your overall assessment.
Communication
- It doesn’t end post-consultation or after biking modifications. We’re always ready for a follow-up and learning more about your progress.
