Hello all, this “Doc” Park, the Clinic Director at Progressive Spinal and Sports Rehab in Rockville, MD. Mixed Martial Arts has always been a passion of mine, and if I wasn’t practicing full time and helping people with their injuries, I’d be training and competing as much as possible. I’ve been involved with martial arts ever since I could walk and have studied Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. My previous training and competition experience has given me the inside edge when it comes to understanding what injuries occur in the world of Mixed Martial Arts and how to treat them. I still get a few pad rounds in and roll whenever I can, but now I’ve dedicated my life to taking care of the people who train and compete in MMA. If you’ve got pain, then this is the place for you! Let me help you get back in the ring or on the mat.


*Please remember that any injury should be evaluated by a physician. Though I will do my best to point you in the right direction, I cannot make any diagnosis unless I am able to do a physical examination. This website is designed to get you informed. The more you know, the better you’ll be able to manage an injury that comes up from training or competition.

"I trust Doc to take care of me and all of my students at Evolve. Since he also trains at my school, he has a good understanding of the mechanics behind a lot of injuries from training in martial arts. I know that I’m in good hands when I go to see him, and I always send my students to his office if they have any injuries." 
- Mike Moses

"Having been involved with Mixed Martial Arts and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over ten years I think I can say I know a lot about injuries and the Doctors that treat them. I can also say that Dr. Park is the best Sports Doctor I have ever worked with. His knowledge of sports and the injuries associated with sports is unmatched. In 2005 I suffered a severe shoulder injury that many Doctors thought would need surgery and keep me out of training for over a year. Dr. Park had me back on the mats competing again in less the 3 months! Perhaps most importantly, when you see Dr. Park you can tell right away that he really does care about his patients and does all he can to get them back on track and living their life to the fullest. For these reasons and more you can see why Team Evolve/Lloyd Irvin made him the official Team Doctor. My Hat is off to you Dr. Park, thanks for all your help. I'm sure I couldn't have gotten this far without you!" - Danny Ives

"During the day, I sit at a desk and peck away at a computer; at night, I train Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and MMA. After almost ten years of working hard at both of my lives, I've been hit with a number of injuries. About two years ago, I suffered serious back pain, which finally got unbearable - I was sitting at work and my leg started feeling numb. I went to see Doc Park, very worried. The amazing thing is that Doc analyzed the situation, based on his knowledge of how we train, and what stretches we do. He has all this specialized equipment too, so he was able to ease the immediate pain and get me on the road to a full recovery. I walked out of his office feeling immediately better, and he gave me ways to adjust my stretching routine, as well as things to think about as I do my computer thing. I mean this with all sincerety - if Doc didn't know MMA, he would not have been able to quickly assess the problem, nor be effective in prescribing the solution. I urge you to see him if you have any joint or back problems, as I can assure you, his years of training and doing what we do will get you healed up faster than you would anywhere else!" - Alan Ross

"As a life long athlete and martial artist, it has been very difficult for me to find a doctor that understands the life style. Having a doctor that is also an athlete and martial artist is an invaluable resource. Dealing with doctors who don’t have any experience with athletics or martial arts is such a chore. In the past, the only advice a doctor could offer me for any injury – no matter the severity of that injury - was to quit everything. I believe this occurred so often in the past because those doctors had no knowledge of alternative training methods. For this reason, I had developed a strong aversion towards going to the doctor. My first visit to Dr. Park’s office completely changed this outlook. Last year, while training for my first fight, I sprained my knee. Dr. Park was not only able to help me find ways to get my knee heal faster but also develop a training program that did not stress the injury further. It is because we were able to find ways for me to train safely that I won that fight. I would recommend Dr. Park to anyone." - Jason Morris
