About Your Bike Fitter
“I fit you to your bike and your bike to you.” As a movement specialist, medical bike fitter Dr. Jess Greaux has the unique ability to help cyclists and bike injuries through a rare combination of bike fitting, cycling analysis, and diagnosing and treating hundreds of bike injuries from Olympians to every day commuters. Consequently, she firmly believes a bike fit is not complete without addressing the body and the weak links. Therefore, Dr. Greaux has separated herself from non-medical bike fitters by having the license, education, and knowledge to examine musculoskeletal dysfunction and alignment, diagnose injuries, in addition to perform a complete bike fit and analysis of your pedaling and bike posture. Furthermore, she became one of the first medical practitioners to obtain the Bike PT certification, a bike fitting certification specifically for health care providers.

- Team Jelly Belly Sports Medicine Provider
- Sports Medicine Provider for an Olympic Medalist and 4x National Road Champion and Ironman Champions.
