Tired of Physical Therapy That Doesn't Address the Real Problem?
At Eastside Movement, we don't just treat the site of pain. We perform a comprehensive evaluation of the whole body to find the root causes of pain. Bodies are complicated - that's why what your friend used to treat their back pain might not work for your back pain.
Cycling Shouldn't Mean Living with Pain
-
Pain with every ride
Knee pain, low back aches, or neck tension that starts within the first few miles and only gets worse.
-
You're missing training time
Sidelined from group rides, falling behind on your training plan, watching others hit their goals while you're stuck off the bike.
-
No one understands cycling injuries
Generic physical therapy doesn't address the unique demands and repetitive motion patterns of cycling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about our comprehensive approach to physical therapy in Austin.
What makes cycling physical therapy different from regular PT?
Cycling physical therapy focuses on the unique biomechanics and overuse patterns specific to cycling. We understand how bike positioning affects your body, the repetitive nature of pedaling mechanics, and the common injury patterns cyclists face. Our therapists assess both your body and your relationship with your bike to address the root cause of pain and optimize your riding position.
Do you offer bike fitting services?
Yes! We provide bike fitting analysis as part of our physical therapy services. While we focus on the therapeutic side — addressing pain and optimizing movement patterns — we also evaluate your bike position and make recommendations to prevent future injuries. Our goal is to ensure your body and bike work together efficiently.
How long does it take to recover from a cycling injury?
Recovery timelines vary depending on the injury type and severity. Many cyclists see significant improvement within 4-6 weeks with consistent treatment and proper modifications to their riding. Chronic overuse injuries may take longer. During your free phone consult, we'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation and cycling goals.
Still have questions?
We empower people to overcome pain, get back to the activities that make life good, and come home to their bodies. Let us help you feel better than ever.
