I am a retired doctor and have been suffering from lower back pain for many years. I've had several surgeries, have metal plates in my lower back, and I've also undergone bypass surgery, so I'm very careful about who I trust to work on my body. I started seeing Lucas at Lucas Massage Therapy for regular sports massage, and it has made a real difference. He understands my medical history, always works safely around my lower back, and focuses on reducing tension in the surrounding muscles so I can stay as mobile and comfortable as possible. I live 25 minutes away and don't mind driving to Abbots Langley every week for treatment, because the results are worth it. My mobility has improved, my lower back feels less stiff, and I can manage day-to-day activities with more ease. Lucas has also given me excellent advice on posture, how to sit, stand and move better, and what to avoid so I don't make my back worse. For anyone dealing with chronic lower back pain, post-surgery stiffness or mobility issues, I can strongly recommend Lucas Massage Therapy. read more

I do a lot of running, rowing and CrossFit, and I also have a full-time office job with long Teams calls and hours of sitting. That combination left me with constant tightness and pain - especially in my legs, glutes, hip flexors, lower back, shoulders and neck. I see Lucas regularly at Lucas Massage Therapy for maintenance sports massage. We usually do one hour focused on my legs, glutes and hip flexors, and one hour on my upper back, shoulders and neck. It's made a big difference to how my body feels, both when I'm training and when I'm sitting at my desk. Lucas really understands how training and desk work affect the body. He works deeply but safely into tight areas like my calves, hamstrings, quads, IT band and glutes, as well as my upper back, shoulders and neck which get stiff from both heavy training and poor sitting posture. I've had a slipped disc, sciatica and several running injuries in the past, including calf pain, tight hamstrings, hip pain, neck & shoulder pain and lower back pain. Since seeing Lucas regularly, my running feels smoother, my recovery is quicker, and I've had far fewer flare-ups of sciatica, knee pain or Achilles/plantar fasciitis-type niggles. I highly recommend booking a Sports massage & Deep Tissue Massage with Lucas. His treatments keep me still training, recovering well and able to sit at my desk without constant pain. Lucas Massage Therapy in Abbots Langley (near Watford) has become an essential part of my routine to stay injury-free, mobile and performing at my best. It takes me around 45 minutes of driving to get my therapy appointments with Lucas but the results are absolutely worth the journey. read more

I'm a very sporty person. I train 5 times a week and include swimming, cycling and weight training in my programme. I've been coming to Lucas for Sports Massage for years because my training has always been quite intense. Earlier this year I developed necrotising fasciitis and was in a critical condition which also led to major surgery on my leg. At one point I thought I might never be able to exercise again. Once my recovery started, I began seeing Lucas again, and his massage treatments have been a huge part of getting me back on track. Lucas helps me to improve my flexibility, reduce pain and release deep muscle tension so I can return to training safely and with more confidence. Each session is tailored to how my body is feeling, and he always works carefully and respectfully around my medical history. I live about 40 minutes away, and it is absolutely worth the journey. I highly recommend Lucas Massage Therapy in Abbots Langley in Watford area. read more
