I've been a personal trainer since 2011. I attended Parkland College's personal trainer program from 2009-2011 and it was quite the eye opening experience for me. I had been interested in fitness before, but the program exposed me to a lot of different methods and tools that I hadn't used before. After graduating the program I decided to pursue being a personal trainer as a career and have been seeing clients ever since!
I became interested in becoming a massage therapist after being a personal trainer for several years. I saw how much foam rollers and other massage tools helped my clients, so I figured it would be a good idea to learn more about massage. I enrolled in Parkland College's massage therapy program in 2014 and graduated in the summer of 2015.

Massage has been shown to have several benefits. These benefits include stress relief, managing chronic pain, reducing anxiety, improving sleep, reducing muscle tension, and improving blood flow. Some people may see more benefits from massage than others. Everyone is different so what work for helping one person might not necessarily help another.

I developed intense back pain after driving to Champaign from Houston for the holidays. Lucas squeezed me into his massage schedule 2 times before Christmas, and we realized it was actually tight hip flexors. He loosened up the tightness enough for me to lay my painful hip on a therapy ball to find further relief. Because of him I was able to enjoy the holiday with my family and drive back to Texas without too much pain. Lucas was very communicative and professional. I felt safe being there and so much relief after our two sessions. Thanks Lucas!!

Went in for a couples massage and was very impressed. I told Lucas that we were looking for just a relaxing massage but I have some tightness in my shoulders. Lucas gave an amazing massage and worked out my kinks in my shoulders. After the massage me and my partner felt very calm, relaxed and happy.

This was my first massage experience after 10 years of wear and tear. Was a little a skeptical if massages actually yielded great benefits. But with Lucas I can say they he did a fantastic job and would definitely recommend him to all family and friends. Relaxed environment and an overall amazing experience!

Lucas’s massage skills are excellent as well as his willingness to meet my needs. He was able to relieve some of my muscle aches and stress the very first session. He listened to my concerns and was able to identify what needed to be done to address those issues. He continues to work on needed areas and has been successful at bringing me closer to healing and relaxation of my body.

Lucas is an excellent massage therapist. I’ve been in the business for over 25 years in Chicago and have had tons of massage. He knows his anatomy and just where to focus. If you are looking for a mix of relaxation and therapeutic massage he’s your guy. If I lived in Urbana I’d make him part of my self care routine. Professional and kind, he definitely has healing hands.

Hands down - best massage I've ever had!! I feel like he knew exactly where I was having pain without having to tell him. He has very strong hands and fingers and applies enough pressure but is still gentle. I truly cannot say enough good things. I'll continue to be a returning customer!!
