What Do We Do?
Our mission is to provide elite, one-on-one physical therapy that help runners, youth, adults, and active adults get out of pain, gain strength and return to a high level of performance in Durham, North Carolina. We empower our patients to return to the activities they love feeling stronger than ever before by identifying and treating the root cause of the injury, not just focusing on the symptoms.
We Built Something Different
We understand what it’s like to perform at the highest level, because we’ve lived it both as competitive athletes and as clinicians. At Unlimited, that perspective shapes everything we do. We are deeply committed to one-on-one, individualized care, meaning you will never be passed off to staff or given a “one size fits all,” cookie-cutter recovery program. Every session is intentionally designed for you, your goals, and getting you ready to compete at a high level again. We elevate the healthcare experience by focusing on long-term health and wellness goals. We work to reduce pain, improve strength and mobility, and help patients stay active forever.

Our Three Step Process
Restore
Step one is getting you out of pain as fast as we can. We identify and correct the root cause of your pain. Here, we create the framework needed to make sure you are ready to tolerate adding stress and load back into the system.
Build
We strategically reintroduce load and activity again. The build phase is focused on developing strength, stability, and motor control by utilizing progressive overload. We improve how you generate power, absorb force, and maintain proper mechanics under fatigue so that your body is ready to handle the demands of your sport again.
Perform
The perform phase is where rehab meets high level performance. We want to make sure that when you return to play, you are prepared to compete with confidence and perform at a higher level than before. We will work together to give you a long term plan to help keep your pain at bay.
Our Services
Physical Therapy
At Unlimited, our physical therapy programs are designed for athletes and active adults who are looking for more than the basic “cookie cutter approach.” Each session is one-on-one with your provider and is tailored to your injury, sport, and goals. This can include manual therapy, dry needling, cupping, mobility, exercise prescription, etc.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a skilled intervention that uses a thin needle to target tight, painful, or dysfunctional tissue. It is effective for treating trigger points, improving mobility, and accelerating the healing process. Dry needling is effective for a variety of acute and chronic conditions, including sports injuries, overuse injuries, and more.
Blood Flow Restriction
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is a highly effective technique that allows you to build strength using lighter weights, making it ideal for injury recovery, pain management, and performance optimization. BFR can help build strength and get you back to your sport faster with confidence.
Wellness
Finished physical therapy, but want to work towards a new goal? Are you not in pain, but looking to have a long term plan to keep it that way while training? Wellness sessions allow you to have long-term solutions, build strength, and work towards your goals with a plan.
Running Analysis
Looking to improve your performance or curious if your running form is the reason you have pain? Sometimes it’s appropriate to change running form, sometimes it’s not. This session is perfect to take a deep dive and learn what makes the most sense for you.
