The Shared Journey of a Bike Fit
A better cycling experience starts with a comprehensive Cycling Analysis session. At Active Therapy Alliance, we are passionate about helping cyclists achieve their optimal position and performance both on and off the bike. Our in-depth physical assessment, 3D camera-mapping and saddle pressure analysis process is designed to enhance comfort, efficiency, and power on the bike.
Our Fit First philosophy prioritizes the rider’s unique biomechanics, ensuring that the interface between cyclist and bicycle is optimized for both performance and injury prevention.
The goal is for every cyclist to leave with a clear understanding of how their unique biomechanics and bike setup work together to enhance performance, comfort, and longevity on the ride.
Our bike fits are led by Dr. Erika Sutton, PT, DPT, FAAOMPT, a highly experienced clinician with over 15 years in practice and a lifelong passion for cycling and triathlon. Certified by the International Bike Fitting Institute and Trek Level 1 & 2, she combines advanced knowledge of human biomechanics with proven fitting techniques to optimize each rider’s position for maximum efficiency, comfort, and performance.
