About The Practice

Internationally experienced manual practitioner for chronic back pain. I use non-medical manual methods to reduce tension, improve mobility and confidence in movement.

“Luka is the consummate professional who answers my questions, he is knowledgeable and thorough, makes you feel relaxed and explains the process and approach on each part of the therapy. I can only recommend him highly.”

“Through Luka’s various treatments like osteopathy at the spine, trigger pain point release, cupping and neuronal muscular function tests, he adjusted my pelvis in the right position and released the stress from my piriformis muscle. Further, he showed me exercises I can do on my own to prevent further issues. ”

“When it comes to providing effective treatments for those who are suffering from sports injuries and body pains. This therapist   was available for my injuries seven days a week to offer health care options including corrective exercises and training that comes along with it and other kinesiotherapy-related services. He is very professional and unique as your own health needs. Credibility and authenticity rarely seen in this profession. Because of nature of my profession I’ve been through a lot of therapists and I can say for sure Luka is the best choice.”
