"It’s All Connected - Thanks for going way beyond my expectation. Four years ago I had surgery on my left foot that left it oddly shaped. In preparation for my ride across the country next spring (a lifelong dream; at 64 I am finally going to achieve it [115 miles a day for 31 days]) I saw Curtis for cycling specific orthotics, hoping that they would eliminate the hot foot that I have to live with on hot days. My new e-soles are terrific, but they were only the beginning. Curtis immediately added compression socks (I had a blot clot while recovering from surgery and my left leg is prone to swelling periodically).

Then Curtis fixed my position on the bike – 3 friends, including one professional bike fitter, have commented in the last month on my improved cycling form. In addition to the foot problem, one leg is 3/8 of an inch shorter than the other and I walk, run and cycle with pronounced asymmetries. Curtis showed me how I was actually using the wrong muscles to accomplish certain tasks and he gave me a series of custom designed exercises to wake up dormant muscle memory. I was skeptical, but after three exercise workouts I discovered that I could walk pain free for the first time in many years. I’m still a work in progress, but at this rate I may even find myself running just for the heck of it, which is something that I stopped doing around the time of the foot surgery."

"Just wanted to share the good news - that I made it onto the podium at National Championships. In the para-cycling tt, and that qualified me to go to the World Champs in August. Here's the press release, just in case you want to read the news!! :-) Full Story

THANK YOU for all your help over the years - I would most certainly not be here doing this right now, if not for you. Bummer for the Garmin guys so far in the Tour.....I was (well, still am) rooting for them. Thanks again."

At the age of 13, Andrew suffered a multi-level femur fracture. With physical therapy, bike fitting and a lot of hard work and training, he goes on to win a national championship!! Andrew placed first in the 17-18 points race... lapping the field not once, but twice to take home gold in the men’s event.

"Through a powerful combination of physical therapy and Pilates, Belinda was to help me in a way that no other physical therapist had been able to. I met Belinda during a long, difficult, and frustrating recovery from a knee injury/surgery that was complicated by subsequent hip and back problems. I was a shadow of my former self, completely unable to do the outdoor activities that I love and barely able to make it through the work day. Using her unique and diverse set of clinical skills, she was able to get me on the road to recovery. I am thankful to her for her persistence, patience, and positive attitude and helping me to understand and use my body in a completely different way."

"I have seen Curtis three years in a row and my only regret is I did not see him earlier in my cycling career."
Although the changes he made were small, they had a major impact on my riding, and a nagging back injury i had went away. I feel that my bike is a natural extension of myself after seeing Curtis for a bike set up.

- Katheryn Mattis

"Thank you for helping me get my left leg back Curtis."   - Christian Vande Velde Garmin-Cervélo Professional Cycling Team

Amber Rais - Win at Infineon, Cougar Mountain July, 2007

"The Revolution In Fitness staff have been instrumental in helping me maximize my power on the bike. Their assistance was crucial in my recovery and rehabilitation after breaking my hand in 2006, and they have continued to help me fine-tune my bike fits and my technique through identifying and addressing muscle weakness and imbalances.

- Amber Rais
Professional Cyclist, USA National Team

"My bike fit was fantastic!! It has made such an enormous difference to my ride. I have no pain in my knees as I ride and my average has improved. Dan was an extremely thoughtful and wonderful person to work with. His stretching exercises were valuable. I am surely going to recommend your service to my bicycling buddies."

- Vishwanath

"Belinda is a 10 out of 10! My daughter is a competitive rhythmic gymnast. Last summer, she injured her back severely from extreme back stretching required for this sport. When I brought her to Belinda after two months’ rest from gymnastics, she was still in a bad pain and even wondering if she could ever go back to the sport. Belinda saved her from this despair. Belinda was knowledgeable and professional and her devotion to her patients was impressive. It was as if she had felt the same pain my daughter was feeling. Her instructions were precise and the workout was well targeted to train proper muscle groups. Belinda was not only helping my daughter physically but rebuilding her confidence through her therapy. After a month of therapy, she was able to go back to the team. What amazed us all, including my daughter’s gymnastics coach, was that her overall strength grew so much while she was under Belinda’s therapy. And she completed the competition season with no injury. Belinda was truly the life saver."

"Curtis has been able to do what eight other PTs failed to do -- give me back my life.
Three years ago I was diagnosed with a nerve entrapment issue. Normal activities like sitting, walking, standing and even sleeping had grown difficult; a very active life style and a successful career came to a screeching halt. None of the PTs I consulted with were able to identify the root causes of my condition, which worsened with time.

Curtis was masterful at identifying the asymmetries that were keeping my body from healing. He assessed my body holistically, connected the dots and gave me the most coherent explanation that I had yet to hear from any health care professional (including MDs). Curtis created a strategy for my recovery, and using a vast repertoire of skills and techniques, he has been methodically bringing my body back to health.

Today I no longer have nerve entrapment and my pain level is near zero. I can sleep without pain, sit for much longer than I was previously able and hike as far as I want. Curtis is insightful about my specific body mechanics, creative in designing exercises, an excellent listener and a real partner in my rehab. I am enormously grateful to him for giving me back my life!"

"Curtis has helped my bike performance in many different aspects. He has fit me on my bike so I am getting the most power out of my engine based on my body dimensions and flexibility. Curtis has also helped me overcome injuries in an effective and timely manner so that they never stopped me in achieving my season goals." - Tom Danielson Garmin-Cervélo Professional Cycling Team

"Great bike fitting! I have some really good information now to make decisions about upgrading or replacing my current bikes. I took a 30min spin that afternoon, remembered the word “relax,” and it was nearly effortless! Curtis really has talent, I felt very fortunate to get his time and will recommend it to others who are serious about a bike fit."

- Karen Dyce

"I recently decided to see Curtis at Revolutions in Fitness for a professional bike fit.  Eight months before my decision, I was participating in triathlons and long distance bike rides. After doing a 100 mile bike ride that I wasn't properly trained for, the pain in my knees forced me to stop all advanced physical activity. When I saw Curtis my knees were killing me; I was pretty sure I had patellar tendonitis, and I had stopped all of my favorite physical activities such as running, cycling, and almost swimming as well. I didn't believe that a 90 minute bike fit could change my world but decided to schedule one anyway as Curtis had been highly recommended to me by trusted peers. Let's just say that Curtis made me a true believer of the science of bike fitting; my bike rides are now painless, my knee pain has gone away, and after a few physical therapy sessions with Curtis in addition to the bike fit, I will once again be able to call myself a triathlete!"

- Dustan

"I have been seeing Susan Casto for physical therapy and I am very impressed with her work and expertise.  Susan spent time carefully examining me and treating my various asymmetries that led to my injury. She was recommended to me by an outside physical therapist who is one ot the best in the area (Curtis Cramblett), and I have not been disappointed. Susan has excellent training that is invaluable, and I am so glad that she has been able to see me and treat me over the past few months. She is one of the biggest reasons that I was able to successfully complete my Ironman race in Canada."

		"Curtis was the detective PT at our Garmin/Transitions training camp. He combined his PT work with how our bodies work on the bike.  This is absolutely crucial considering we spend 4 to 5 hours a day riding. We are constantly going from one bike to the next and he was able to help dial us back into a great riding position.
Not only did Curtis get my body to sit better on the bike he also showed me the exercises to keep it that way. It’s unbelievable. My left foot is already pedaling straight. Totally stoked. Thanks man!" - Steven Cozza Professional Cyclist Garmin/Transistions

"I had failed back surgery after years of regular PT, biofeedback, acupuncture, all of which didn't help much. After surgery I was worse, literary house bound and on full disability. Curtis convincingly assessed exactly the right muscle groups to work on, constantly updated a progressive baby step program, kept me loose through flares with gentle body work, and gave me self help tools.

I'm back to hikes, rock climbs, cycling and gym routine. And I'm 62! His patient, tailored approach stoked my hope and determination, all of which has brought me to my new day."

- Tom Higgins

“To work with a PT (physical therapist) and bio-mechanist to set up my bike position was something I have never done before, but the initial results have been fantastic!  Curtis spent the time to assess the areas I had tension and an imbalance in, and then translate this to altering my bike setup to make me more efficient and much more likely to stay injury free throughout cycling.  Something a professional cyclist loves to hear!

Curtis' assessment of the imbalances of my body were in line with what a whole array of other PT's or body scans had discovered over many years. He found these imbalances in just a matter of minutes.  Once he had done this he was able to prescribe a significant amount of exercise and corrective stretches for me to work on in practical ways, with minimal equipment which is great given the amount of travel I do.  I am a big believer in actively improving your body's imbalances over time as opposed to some of the other more passive quick fixes out there.”

"The esoles you fitted me for are AWESOME! Took about a week or so to get used to but, they fit like a glove now! After my first two mountain bike races "EVER", I have a first and a second place to be proud of! I am so glad I got these eSoles, and I have been telling everyone about them. Without them, my knees and legs would be all over the place. The eSoles really do work and keep my legs and knees aligned for an almost perfect pedal stroke. Out of all my gear, the esoles give me the most back making me a better rider. Thanks again!"

"(Curtis’) Retül bike fit was amazing because it was more than just a bike fit.   Curtis used his expertise as a physical therapist to address my weaknesses and then he combined his expertise as a cyclist and a biomechanical specialist to fit me on my bike to provide a position of power but also a position of ‘ability’ according to my body’s limitations.  He gave me guidelines of how to make the prescribed bike changes over time so as not to shock my system.  So far, after one very conservative change, I am pushing more power than in 2008 and it is just the off season.  I would highly recommend a Retül bike fit and Curtis would be my choice for a Retül bike fitting specialist." - Lisa Bentley Professional Triathlete, 11x Ironman Champion

"I've had many people over the years try to 'tailor make' a program for me, but they still gave me the template exercises that could be found in any book. Curtis demonstrates that he understands what is right for me, and created a program that really is right for me. Now I am running, biking, hiking, snowshoeing, sledding, skiing, able to drive, sit and stand for hours without abnormal discomfort, and feeling and looking great (especially for an old woman!) In fact, sometimes I think my husband appreciates Curtis even more!"

- Wende Schallman

"This was the first year that I've ever been able to complete all 5 passes of the Death Ride. (128 miles 16,000 ft climbing) and it was because of Curtis. The other times I had done it, I only did 3 of the 5 passes. I always rode a lot, but without any real plan or structure. Curtis training plans were great! They gave me the structure and discipline I needed to meet my goal. Curtis always made a plan that worked with my schedule and lifestyle. They were fun and I saw results. Thanks Curtis!"
