Dr. Steve Hatfield is a licensed Physical Therapist and Certified Athletic Trainer.  

Dr. Hatfield has worked with the Dallas Cowboys professional football team and the U.S. Ski Team. Most recently, he served as the Medical Director for the Tour de Georgia, and continues to work with professional cyclists.

 

Steve is a licensed USCF cyclist and an avid competitive racer.  This experience provides a unique perspective from a healthcare professional who understands the demands of cycling and multi-sport athletes.

 

Dr. Hatfield’s practice, ELITE Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy, has taken a unique and high-tech approach to the bike-fit process. This program, developed with input from professional cyclists, uses slow motion video analysis to examine the riders posture, cadence, and any deviations in the pedal stroke.

The information is examined frame-by-frame, and digitized to a DVD, which is given to the athlete. The athletes can then further scrutinize their cycling biomechanics, forward to their coach, or compare to previous or future analysis.

 

Other services include custom footbeds for cycling shoes.
