Learn Clinical BikeFitting for Physical Therapists, and Become a Bike Friendly Physio with the
Pedal PT Online Academy
Pedal PT Online Academy Testimonials
“The Pedal PT online learning course does an excellent job of distilling the sometimes complex process of performing a Bike Fitting into easily digestible videos for learning at your own pace.
The course covers basics of bike adjustment, how to prepare your “Fitting Studio” and also quick analysis of some of the dysfunctions/injuries you are likely to see.
This course is a great step into building your bike-fitting knowledge and confidence, and a great choice for therapists who are interested in expanding to work with more cycling clientele.”

Hello. I'm Kevin Schmidt, a bike-specialized Physiotherapist from Portland, OR
In 2012, I created one of the very first Bike-Centric Physical Therapy offices in the US-- Pedal PT.
Our office currently sees thousands of cyclists every year for a variety of orthopedic injuries and BikeFit, and last year alone we saw over 600 Bike Fit visits!
The Pedal PT Online Academy is a simplified, step-by-step approach to learning the ins and outs of working with cyclists and performing Bike Fit, with no previous cycling, bike mechanic, or BikeFit experience required!
