“Luke is a fabulous physical therapist who gives great treatment and is very considerable. Also a great person in general!”
I have seen Luke for multiple injuries and I am always more than impressed. I always have his undivided attention with great treatment and care. He always listens and takes into consideration what I have to say. Not only Luke but Trinity has a whole is a great clinic, which has thoroughly impressed me.

“Amazing”
My experience with Luke have been amazing! He is very passionate about making sure that his patients are in respectable care and progressing well. My injury is not easy so with him making sure that my wound is healing correctly and keeping an eye out on it means a lot!

“Review of Luke's Treatment”
I had a positive experience working with both Luke and Andrew. I feel Luke has been able to take me to a higher level of recovery. He has been patient in listening to where I am every time I come. It has been extremely helpful that he has had personal experience with back pain so he could understand easier than a therapist who has never had back issues. Him sharing his personal experiences and what has helped him has been very beneficial. I have enjoyed working with Luke and if I need to come back would not hesitate to ask for him to be my therapist again.

“Luke is a gifted diagnostician and therapist with an amazing understanding of the human body and its mechanics.”
Luke's professionalism and expertise make him an excellent therapist, while his confidence in his knowledge, coupled with his kind demeanor, make him a wonderful care provider. His ability to recall my situation and progress from week to week was comforting reassurance that he placed great value on being super intentional about my care. I experienced improvement after every visit. What a gift to be treated by someone with such high personal and professional integrity.

“Wouldnt go anywhere else”
Getting to meet Luke for the first time and him telling me what my goals were, was very calming. This was my first major injury and I knew I was in good hands. From text messages to see if I was ok to telling me workouts to do. He guided me and set me up for success to where I could be stronger than where I was pre-injury. I couldn't tell you how scary things are not being able to do things you normally do and now getting back to some set of normalcy was huge for me.

“The most intentional care”
I was a runner at NC state a few years ago and came down with a hip injury that has put me out of running. With my MRI negative for any problems, but still having a lot of popping and pinching, Luke decided to work from EVERY angle to get my hip back into the right condition. He has taught me how to clean up my exercises and get motion back in my hip and I am forever thankful. He will go above and beyond to get you where you need to be and that is all I could ever ask for.

“Luke is very skillful and helpful.”
I have come here throughout this year and last year and each time he has been there to help me get through my shin splints. He has helped me with stretching and massaging my legs. Also he is really nice to talk to.
