Whether you’re an everyday commuter or a weekend warrior, riding should feel effortless—and comfortable. At Prevail Physical Therapy, our Bike Fitting Services are designed not just to fine-tune your bike—but to restore (and elevate) your body’s biomechanics for optimal comfort, efficiency, and injury prevention.

What’s Included in the Bike Fit?

Our comprehensive bike fitting process unfolds over several steps, typically taking 2–4 hours, either in single sessions or split across multiple visits:

1. Initial Interview & Physical Exam – Understanding your history, pain, flexibility, strength, posture, and riding goals (30–60 min).
2. Bike Setup & Measurement – Mounting your bike on a trainer to collect baseline geometry and fit data (15 min).
3. Motion Analysis – Video-recorded cycling followed by interpretation and documentation to correlate movement with your physical exam (15–30 min).
4. Action Plan & Implementation – Adjustments may include cleats, saddle/handlebar position, stem tweaks, pressure mapping, custom orthotics, and/or targeted mobility and strength exercises. You’ll even receive equipment and training recommendations. (1–5 hrs).

Welcome Dr. Simone Stilley!

Starting with Prevail in July, we’re excited to introduce Dr. Simone Stilley, PT, DPT, ATC, a dedicated physical therapist with a strong passion for helping people move better and recover faster. 

Simone’s journey into physical therapy began with her own experiences as a multisport athlete navigating the challenges of injury and recovery. Growing up in New Jersey, she competed in gymnastics, basketball, and track — all of which fueled her passion for helping others return to the activities they love. 

That passion led her to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training from Rowan University, where she worked hands-on with collegiate athletes in football, soccer, and baseball, as well as post-operative patients. She then pursued her Doctor of Physical Therapy at Drexel University, graduating in 2020. As an orthopedic specialist, Simone has a particular interest in designing personalized, sport-specific rehab programs that integrate manual therapy and targeted exercise. 

Her goal is always to guide athletes safely and efficiently back to peak performance and full participation. Outside of the clinic, Simone brings the same energy and discipline to her life as a Latin dancer, specializing in Salsa and Bachata. She enjoys traveling to dance festivals, reading, snowboarding, and discovering new experiences — especially now as a recent Seattle transplant eager to explore everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer. 

We’re thrilled to have Simone on the Prevail team and excited to see the impact she’ll make on our patients and community. 

Summer weekends at the beach, backyard barbecues, and outdoor dinners are finally here, but these gatherings are often loaded with high calorie pasta salads, chips, ice cream, cocktails and beers. Enjoy your warm weather favorites while keeping your nutrition in check with the tips below. 

1. Drink green tea instead of sweet tea. Green tea has a natural component that helps speed up your metabolism. Skip the box tea and opt for the brew-it-yourself with boiling water and a tea bag-type tea. 

2. Serve seafood. Summer is the ideal time to get the freshest catch from your local grocer. Grill salmon, tuna, lobster, steamer clams, and calamari for a low-calorie, protein-packed lunch or dinner. 

3. Don’t skip breakfast. When you wake up in the morning, your body is running on fumes. Eating a breakfast with protein, carbs, and healthy fat kicks your metabolism into high gear and provides energy for the day. 

4. Enjoy summer fruits and veggies. It’s easy to sink into a vegetable rut, eating the same boring veggies week after week, but with summer comes fresh choices. Including a mix of in-season colorful veggies in your meals gives your body a nutrient kick. 

5. Snack at work. Bring snacks to work and graze throughout the day. When you eat more often—five to six times per day—you’re far less likely to overeat and more likely to stay energized. 

6. Hydrate often. The summer heat makes you more susceptible to dehydration. Start off your day by drinking two glasses of water and keep drinking at each meal, as well as before and after your workout, to stay hydrated. Carry a water bottle with you as a reminder to stay hydrated. 

Our purpose at Prevail Physical Therapy is to leave a greater impact on the community around us. In order to achieve our goal we want to change as many lives as possible as we become a beacon of positivity in our community.
