You're Unique

Here at Unique, we treat you, rather than just a diagnosis or body part. Our motto is “What would you do?” It is a question we’ll ask. We need to know, if you are as fit as you could hope to be, what would you do? Your answer will become your goal. Our goal will then be - to customize a unique treatment and training plan for your whole body, so you can do what you want in the future.

This approach goes beyond the routines we’ve witnessed elsewhere. It’s why we call ourselves Unique. Here – it’s not just about understanding and treating the unique combination of reasons why you are not feeling 100% today. It’s about finding your true source of motivation, and working together on a unique plan for your whole body - so you can not just get out of pain, but go do what you really want. That’s why we work here.
