Why Choose Unlimited?

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. Our goal is that when you complete physical therapy, you are pain free, moving better, stronger than before, and understand how to decrease the likelihood of your pain returning.

Our Three Step Process

Restore

Step one is getting you out of pain as fast as we can. This phase is about identifying and correcting 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

This is where we strategically reintroduce load and activity again. The build phase is focused on developing strength, stability, and motor control by utilizing progressive overload. This phase is designed to 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.
