Luca is an amazing healer. His attention to details brings a very good result. In one session he managed to find out what is wrong with my back and treat the actual problem. Thank you Luca for the amazing work!

★★★★★★★★★★Rita KatakalidouJul 2024

I have attended many different yoga classes, but Luca offers classes in a completely different dimension. His deep knowledge and understanding of yoga means that you learn yoga on a completely different level. Highly recommended!

★★★★★★★★★★Martine PApr 2024

I suffered from heavy bones/muscles pains throughout my pelvic area, preventing me from walking or sitting normally. While medicines didn’t give me convincing results, the massages and acupuncture provided by Lucas were highly beneficial to me. Each session showed progress, which was also motivating for me. He also recommends simple exercises to practice every day, and monitors the results. I am pleased here to share this experience, and as I told him, he has magic hands! In addition, he shows a lot of empathy. I therefore take advantage of this message to express him, once again, my gratitude !

★★★★★★★★★★Efthymia MeltsiMar 2024

Serious and professional treatment, like spinal manipulation, acupuncture, muscle release and exercises. Detailed diagnosis and analysis of the problems I had with my lower and upper back and shoulders for more than 15 years. Felt already better and lighter from the very first session. Thank you Luca for making me feel better and stronger after suffering for so long and letting me know finally whats the source of my pains! Highly recommend for personalized and effective physiotherapy!

★★★★★★★★★★Mark EllisonNov 2023

I'm very impressed with the way my back pain was analysed and how personalised the exercise program was. Luca spent time explaining to me the underlying cause of the problem so I fully understood what needed to be corrected so I can better manage similar issues in the future. As Luca mentions on his website, his approach is centred around the patient and his mission is to maximise recovery and help achieve a permanent outcome. This was exactly my experience. I would definitely recommend Luca to anyone who is looking for a physiotherapist in Edinburgh.

★★★★★★★★★★JenniferMar 2021

I saw Luca for physio on my left hip. I was about eighteen months post op from a labral tear repair and I was still having ongoing pain in my hip and back which was holding me back. Luca used a variety of different techniques like acupuncture, manipulation, exercises and what, at times, seemed like pure magic to help my pain. What I liked most about Luca is his super positive attitude. He made me feel more confident getting back to doing the things I love. He’s by far the best physio I’ve encountered in Scotland! Thanks Luca.

★★★★★★★★★★Moritz SitteMar 2021

I completed the "get me running" programme with Luca. My aim to start running but avoid the usual mistakes and risks (injury, esp back, knees, hips). Luca's help has been invaluable and fantastic. The progress I have been able to achieve has been remarkable and is very much a result of his great advice and work. Central to this programme is the running video analysis he performs on a regular basis, as well as designing training plans in addition to running which support the overall aim of running in a healthy way. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Luca as a physio and running coach. I really enjoyed working with him and look forward to continuing to do so.

★★★★★★★★★★Robert Cooke-JonesApr 2020

Luca is a fantastic physiotherapist. He has helped me to recover from injury but also improved my running gait and strength to reduce the risk of issues in the future. He's always got a smile on his face and his passion for the job is obvious. I feel that I've made huge progress since seeing him and I would fully recommend him to any runner who is fed up with injuries or looking to improve their technique.

★★★★★★★★★★Zoned ReflexologyFeb 2020

I attended a two hour workshop about running assessments and injuries by Luca last weekend and it was extremely informative as well as enjoyable. Luca gave some really insightful advice; we learned a great deal about how to assess injuries and aid recovery for runners. Luca used video and imagery to further describe different client scenarios, which made the class interactive and made the concepts he was discussing easier to grasp. Thanks very much Luca! - Chloe

★★★★★★★★★★Joanna Cole-HamiltonSep 2019

Luca is a warm, kind person with a professional manner. He was very reassuring when I was worried about my health and he took the time to explain my condition to me which made me feel more at ease. Both the acupuncture and exercises he gave me were extremely effective and I now feel much better. I highly recommend him.
