"I am extremely pleased with the results"

"Over the last 3 years, I've come to Lucas Physical Therapy for 4 different injuries.  Not only did I get therapy to fix the initial problem, but I got suggestions and exercises to stop them from reoccurring as easily.  My overall fitness level has increased due to those sessions.  I am extremely pleased with the results and have recommended Lucas Physical Therapy to co-workers and friends who need physical therapy."

"Both Roland and Stefania were very thorough in their
assessment and precise as they worked on my shoulder"

"I came in to see Roland and Stefania because I was experiencing pain in my shoulder and neck that made it impossible to swim or work at the computer.  I also had radiating pain and numbness down my arm.  Both Roland and Stefania were very thorough in their assessment and precise as they worked on my shoulder.  They spent a more than adequate amount of time with me-doing manual therapy, showing me exercises and stretches.  I am surprised at my improvement!  I have been able to return to both swimming and weight lifting.  I have no pain while I work or sleep.  I feel confident that I will continue to improve if I follow their exercise and stretching prescription."

"I feel that I can depend on these folks to assess my progress correctly
and give me the best advice for the fullest possible recovery"

"The level of attention I have experienced from Roland and his staff is far beyond what I have experienced or would expect from even the most competent and caring physician.  Their understanding of pain and its level of significance has been critical to the progress I've made toward normal functioning.  Subtle changes in pain, strength and mobility are noted and monitored on an ongoing basis.  I feel that I can depend on these folks to assess my progress correctly and give me the best advice for the fullest possible recovery."

"He truly is the best physical therapist I have ever worked with"

"I came to Roland about severe pain in my left shoulder.  On my very first visit, Roland put me through a thorough examination and he knew just what to do to get me on the road to recovery immediately.  I'm grateful for his expertise and his professional, caring attitude.  He truly is the best physical therapist I have ever worked with.  I am also extremely impressed with Roland's PTA, Eileen.  It would be difficult to find a more caring, friendly, helpful and patient PTA anywhere.  I am leaving their care with my life returned to me.  With many thanks."

"I highly recommend Lucas therapy"

"I have a 4 level cervical fusion and from 2004-2007 I had a stress fracture, multiple falls, and a car accident. I had deconditioned pretty badly in my back, neck and entire body.  Roland taught me how to increase my physical activity without worsening my symptoms.  He guided me in doing the right exercises in the right way and his manual therapy brought gentle movement and release to my back and neck so I could gain greater functionality.  I know how to build strength, maintain my activity, and use my body in the best way.  I highly recommend Lucas therapy."

"Consistently upbeat and positive"

"A few words do it:

  • Competent
  • Professional
  • Friendly
  • Caring

Never rush; answer all and any questions; consistently upbeat and positive.  A true pleasure even if the goal of treatment cannot be fully met."
Nicholas Fortis - Los Altos, CA - October, 2009


"My back pain has been reduced a lot as a result of
the stretching, massage and exercise routine."

"I was convinced that I had a spinal problem and was a bit concerned when MRI showed almost no issues.  PT was the last thing I thought about since I exercise regularly.  As a result of the PT I found that my essential problem was flexibility, or lack of flexibility.  My back pain has been reduced a lot as a result of the stretching, massage and exercise routine."
Bill C. - Sunnyvale, CA - April, 2009


"After six sessions my foot was normal and I am back on my feet again."

"I came to Lucas Physical Therapy with a pain in my left foot.  My Podiatrist gave me a bunch of options - therapy, orthotics and/or surgery.  I chose to try therapy first.  Lucas and staff supported my conservative approach and we set goals for the treatment.  After six sessions my foot was normal and I am back on my feet again.  Thanks to the staff at Lucas Physical Therapy."
R.N. - Sunnyvale, CA - April, 2009


"I definitely would recommend this team for anyone needing physical therapy"

"I have had plantar fasciitis for at least four months.  After 3 weeks of physical therapy I have no pain and begun to start walking for longer periods of time for regular exercise.  Lucas Physical Therapy led by Roland and his team have transformed the quality of my life.  I definitely would recommend this team for anyone needing physical therapy.  They know physiology and muscles, and are about helping people one person at a time.  They care about every patient and call them by name.  I can't say thank you enough."

"He made me comfortable and chalked out a plan of action right away"

"When I came for therapy the first time, I was in a lot of pain.  I wasn't sure if I would be able to explain myself well, but when I spoke with R. Lucas the first time I felt that he understood the ailment completely.  He made me comfortable and chalked out a plan of action right away.  I have had nine sessions of therapy and I feel very satisfied with the treatment and the progress I have made.  Roland asked me my goals and expectations that I had and I think I am getting there.  The pain in the heels has gone down considerably and I feel it is a matter of time before I can resume my cardio training in the gym and play soccer without being worried about aggravating the injury."

"Thank you Roland, Eileen and Alex for always
treating me with respect, kindness and professionalism"

"I could barely walk and had a horrible limp and was in constant, throbbing pain due to issues with my left heel.  There was a huge bump.  I am unable to wear any footwear that has a back on it.  And it was very swollen around the entire ankle.  I now am almost without pain, the swelling is gone.  Most of the time I can walk and do not limp and at times I have even forgot about my injury.  I was very skeptical in 'having to go' to physical therapy.  I mean how was some massage and exercise going to help me?  What a waste of time I told my doctor.  I went per his instructions.  I ran screaming out of two other facilities.  My fault!  I did not go to the therapist he had recommended.  So, I told him, Okay, I'll give 'your person' a try.  And oh my - what a vast improvement.  I now have hopes I can regain my normal activities and be able to wear my re high heels at Christmas!  Thank you Roland, Eileen and Alex for always treating me with respect, kindness and professionalism and for allowing me to get my life's activities back!"
Kathleen Mathias - Mountain View, CA - April, 2009


"Both Roland and Eileen were excellent in their
physical therapy techniques and extent of care"

"I had a large bone spur that severed my rotator cuff and biceps tendon.  My therapy at Lucas Physical Therapy has given me full range of motion and most of my muscle strength has returned.  I was thoroughly happy with the care and extent of therapy that I received.  Both Roland and Eileen were excellent in their physical therapy techniques and extent of care."

"Thank you for getting me back on the dance floor pain free"

"I'm very happy with the attention I received while at Lucas PT and Fitness.  I liked the fact that I had a very detailed and thorough initial exam.  I felt that everyone listened to me and had compassion.  Everything is clean, I never had any long wait and just overall enjoyed the consideration I received as a patient.  Thank you for getting me back on the dance floor pain free."

"My experience with Lucas Physical Therapy was a very favorable one"

"My experience with Lucas Physical Therapy was a very favorable one.  The staff was very helpful and courteous at all times.  I can say keep up the good work.  You certainly helped me."
Carlo Marenco - Sunnyvale, CA - May, 2009


"Roland's expertise in the field was obvious and
he paid attention to every detail of the treatment plan"

"My experience has been 100% positive with rehab on my left knee.  I am totally satisfied with the experience.  Staff was competent, courteous and friendly.  Would recommend to any of my friends.  The Combination of massage, exercise, sonic, electrical and cold pack seemed to be very effective in overall treatment.  Roland's expertise in the field was obvious and he paid attention to every detail of the treatment plan.  The experience was very beneficial and educational in preparation for continued exercise on my own.  It was delightful and rewarding!"
Terry Harper - Saratoga, CA - May, 2009


"Now I know where to go when I need physical therapy!"

"Even-though we still have some more work to improve the initial problem, I must say so far the experience has been great.  When I first came in, my right ankle was stiff with limited mobility. I was limping and had discomfort even with walking short distances.  Walking up and down the stairs was almost impossible.  Now, I can walk comfortably , can climb up and down the stairs much better, range of motion has improved, stiffness has improved, etc.  In addition to the therapy, the information they share is always helpful.  The crew is very pleasant and very helpful.  Now I know where to go when i need physical therapy!"

"what I really appreciated was his desire to fulfill my desire of running again"

"I had been suffering from knee pain since my last marathon.  After 2 months of not running, seeing my chiropractor, an MRI, and seeing my GP, I was referred to Lucas.  In our initial meeting, he took a lot of time to ask questions plus watch me do various movements to get to the bottom of my injury.  I immediately felt relived, like we were going to resolve this!  He provided great therapy and exercises.  But what I really appreciated was his desire to fulfill my desire of running again, plus his common-sense advice to achieve that end.  I still have his advice running through my head if I feel pain on a run!  I'm very thankful that I found Lucas Therapy, and would definitely recommend it and use it in the future."

"With Lucas Physical Therapy I know I can set my
aspirations very high and know I will reach them"

“This is not my first visit to Lucas Physical Therapy and Fitness.  From the time you enter you are greeted pleasantly.  Roland takes the time to listen to your problem, he asks you questions, gives you an idea of what he is planning to do for therapy.  Eileen helps you with your therapy, with the massage, makes sure you are doing your exercises right and keeps up a good conversation.  Before you know it you are done.  At your next visit they always ask you how you were feeling.

The one thing I really appreciate at this place is there is no wait time.  They are very good at maintaining their appointment time.  You can in fact set your clock to it.  The overall impression when you leave the clinic is that you got the right kind of help for your problem and the confidence that the problem will either dissipate or become manageable.  I would recommend them to anybody who needs help.

I came to this place twice, the first time when I had Plantar Fasciitis.  The therapy that I got helped with pain management and gave me the tools to manage pain if it recurs.  I am pain free for the last one year.  I am back here now for pain in my left shoulder.  I see a lot of progress in the therapy sessions I have received and am hoping for a pain free day.  With Lucas Physical Therapy I know I can set my aspirations very high and know I will reach them.  Thank you, Roland, Eileen and Alex.”

“The whole experience has given me a very positive feeling about
dealing with my physical problem and continuing to live an active life.”

During the past two years I have experienced falls resulting in hospitalizations and rehab services.  In June of this year Dr Paul Singer determined that part of my falling problem and instability was caused by Parkinson symptoms.  Medications that he prescribed –presently- Stalevo 200 mg X3 daily and Nuvigil 150 mg has greatly assisted me to regain some body control in the water classes and various activities.  Previously Doctor Maw determined that I also had a vestibular problem which contributed to my instability.

My physical therapy has been very effective under the direction of Stefania Dal Zio.  She has set up exercises for me to do at home and has been very directive in exercising and teaching me various means to stabilize my balance.  She has also has impressed me with her knowledge of my Parkinson problems and how they affect my balance and stability.   As a result of her help I definitely feel more confident with my walking and gait.  This has been noted by my son-in-law who is a neurologist and my daughter who is a physical therapist.  I have also been able to increase my activities in the YMCA water class and tai chi class and have been able to do more yard work at home.

I am very pleased and impressed with the progress that I have experienced working with Stefania.  The whole experience has given me a very positive feeling about dealing with my physical problem and continuing to live an active life.”
