Root Physical Therapy Is Now Open at Muók Boxing
We've always believed the best training environments do more than push you — they take care of you. That belief just got a lot more concrete.
Root Physical Therapy is now fully operational at 6332 6th Ave S. The PT room is complete, our team of Doctors of Physical Therapy is on-site, and we're ready to take on Muók members as patients. Whether you're dealing with a nagging injury, recovering from something acute, or just want to move and feel better — we're here.
This isn't a clinic across town. It's in the same building where you train, staffed by people who know exactly what your body goes through in a Muay Thai class or a strength training session. That distinction matters more than it might sound.
The biggest gap in most athletic rehab isn't the quality of the PT — it's the disconnect between PT and coaching staff. At Muók, your PT and your coaches talk to each other. That changes everything.
Why This Is Different From a Standard PT Clinic
Most physical therapy clinics treat athletes without knowing anything about how they actually train. You describe your sport, they nod, and they give you a generic protocol built for someone vaguely athletic. If you train Muay Thai, that means your PT has probably never watched a roundhouse kick, doesn't know what pad work feels like on the shoulder, and has no idea what "clinch work" does to the neck and spine.
Our team does. Andy Le — one of our PTs — has been coaching Muay Thai at Muók for over 10 years. Bobby Green is a PTA and Muay Thai coach here simultaneously. Joe Rellora is both Lead PT and a strength coach. The clinical knowledge and the training knowledge exist in the same people, in the same building.
How Recovery Works When PT and Coaching Are Connected
The standard rehab experience goes like this: you get injured, you go to a PT clinic, you do your exercises, you get discharged, and then you try to figure out on your own when it's safe to go back to training. That gap — between PT discharge and full return to sport — is where most re-injuries happen.
At Muók, that gap doesn't exist. Here's how the process actually works:
-
01Assessment and team communicationYour PT evaluates the injury and communicates directly with your Muay Thai and strength coaches — what's safe, what isn't, and what modifications are possible. Everyone is on the same page from day one.
-
02Modified training continuesWhere possible, you keep training with smart modifications. Coaches adapt your sessions around your rehab so you stay active, maintain conditioning, and don't lose the progress you've built.
-
03Progressive return to full trainingPT and coaches work together to reintroduce full training progressively. A clear, coordinated plan — no guesswork, no "you should probably be okay" discharge notes.
-
04Back at full capacityYou return stronger and better informed, with a PT team that knows your history, understands your training demands, and can support you long-term — not just for this injury.
Insurance We Accept
We verify your benefits before your first appointment so there are no surprises. Most Muók members end up paying little to nothing out of pocket.
Don't see your insurance listed? Reach out — we may still be able to help, or arrange a cash-pay rate that works for you.

Four providers, all on-site — each bringing a different clinical specialty, all with a deep understanding of combat sports and strength training.
Who Should Book an Appointment
You have a nagging injury you've been training through
Most training injuries don't stop people — they just make training less effective and more uncomfortable. If you've been managing something for weeks or months, a proper assessment can identify what's actually happening and build a plan that resolves it rather than just tolerating it.
You're recovering from something acute
A sprain, a strain, a collision in sparring — anything that took you off the mat recently. The faster you get into proper rehab, the faster you return to full Muay Thai training. And with our team, that return is coordinated with your coaches from day one.
You want to move and feel better long-term
You don't need to be injured to see a PT. Plenty of our members book sessions for movement screening, mobility work, and building the kind of physical resilience that keeps injuries from happening in the first place. If you train seriously, proactive PT is one of the smartest investments you can make in your long-term training capacity.
