Mukunda “Muki” Rico

(B.S, PTA)

I was introduced to physical therapy during my travels to Australia. I have always felt connected to the purpose of helping others, I just didn’t know how until then. I enjoy traveling, playing sports, being a dad and husband. I consider myself a life-long student and committed to growth. 

Most of my experience is with post-operative rehabilitation, home health, and additional training in vestibular rehabilitation. I really try to treat my patients like I would my own family with the intent to provide quality care and help them improve their quality of life and have some fun during the healing process. 

I love working here at Request because we treat each patient and their unique case individually. We also see a variety of conditions such as: lower back pain, knee pain, neck pain, sciatica, weight loss, sports injuries, BPPV, and post-operative care, such exposure has helped me and my colleagues gain skills as well-rounded clinician.  

When I am not in the clinic you will see me on a beach volleyball court at least once a week and on the weekends, I attempt to cultivate my culinary skills for friends and family. I enjoy eating a healthy and clean plant-based diet, and I am drawn to varieties of cuisines from around the world. 

Thanks for taking the time to read a little about me and my little world. 

Caio!
