Specialized services
Gait analysis
Our gait analysis specialists use a combination of observation and precise measurements to identify biomechanical abnormalities, even very slight ones, that can diminish an athlete’s optimal movement.
Physician guided bike fit
Most bikes are fitted at the store which sells them. However, many people still have knee pain, back pain, neck pain or hip pain while cycling. A physician guided bike fit evaluates a patient’s biomechanical uniqueness as well as strength and balance to reduce the risk of and avoid injury.
