Today we’d like to introduce you to Rafic Elahmad.
Hi Rafic, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I am a native of Houston and a graduate of the University of Houston, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. My background as a student-athlete shaped much of my early interest in human performance and physical health. Most of my sports career was involved contact sports, having played rugby from middle school through to the men’s club level. I made the decision to retire from the sport at the age of 25 due to a series of cumulative injuries. However, that turning point became the foundation for my commitment to supporting others in achieving and maintaining their own health and well-being.
With nearly a decade of experience in corrective exercise, stretch therapy, manual therapy, and related disciplines, I have worked to integrate these modalities into a highly personalized approach for each individual I serve. I have assisted individuals from all backgrounds. From seniors to youths, as well as athlete to the average American working 9 to 5 trying to keep everything going.
In 2023, I founded Unique Stretch Plus, located between Houston’s Post Oak and Memorial areas, where I continue to help clients to understand their bodies, move better, feel better, and perform at their best.
Outside of my professional work, I am proud to be a husband and father of two, which further fuels my dedication to creating a healthy and balanced life-for myself, my family, and all those around me.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road hasn’t been so easy, but obstacles are just opportunities in disguise.
