Body First Bike Fitting

Bike Fit & Movement Integration Session

At Grit City Health, our Body-First Bike Fit & Movement Integration sessions focus on your body before your bike. I don’t use standardized jigs or force your fit through equipment—my goal is to identify and address mobility, stability, and muscular imbalances that often limit cycling comfort, efficiency, and power. With 18+ years of movement and bodywork experience, I help cyclists and athletes ride stronger, smoother, and pain-free.

Why Bodywork Before Bike Adjustments Matters

Many cycling discomforts and performance issues stem from tight joints, muscular imbalances, and movement dysfunction. Adjusting the bike to a dysfunctional body is like moving furniture into a crooked house—it might work temporarily, but it doesn’t solve the problem.

By addressing your body first, we can:

  • Restore mobility and joint health for improved cycling posture

  • Improve stability and power transfer

  • Reduce discomfort, numbness, and injury risk

  • Create a more efficient, sustainable, and enjoyable ride

Most athletes notice dramatic improvements after 4–6 weeks of targeted bodywork, mobility, and strengthening before any equipment adjustments. This is far more effective than a weekend bike-fit class because it addresses why the body is compensating, not just accommodating the bike.

Who This Is For

  • Cyclists looking to ride comfortably and powerfully

  • Athletes dealing with pain, numbness, or inefficiency on the bike

  • Anyone wanting a movement-first, body-informed approach to their equipment setup

What I Do (and Don’t Do)

I don’t:

  • Use jigs, cameras, or rigid equipment measurements

  • Sell or stock bike parts like saddles, stems, or handlebars

I do:

  • Listen to your riding experience, goals, and concerns

  • Watch you ride and assess posture, motion, and potential root causes of discomfort

  • Combine in-clinic bodywork, mobility, and targeted movement exercises to restore function

  • Offer practical adjustments like stem changes or spacers when appropriate

Common issues I help resolve:

  • Numb fingers, hands, or feet

  • Tight neck, shoulders, or pec minor

  • Low back soreness, hip discomfort, or pelvic twists

  • Knee pain or inefficient pedal power

  • Reduced climbing power or fatigue
