For those of you who have trouble with balance, or sciatic pain, or chronic muscle pain, I would like to recommend an excellent body coach, Luke Manson (lucienmanson@gmail.com). Luke helped me recover from a debilitating spell of sciatica that had me limping around for over a month. He massaged the pain out of my knotted muscles and taught me techniques for improving overall strength and flexibility as I was recovering. He also analyzed the way I walk and bend and climb stairs and offered guidance and exercises to improve the way I perform these everyday tasks. Luke has a string of professional credentials, including a master's degree in exercise science, and seems to be on speaking terms with every muscle and tendon in the human body. Working with me, he was personable and patient, taking time to explain why he was teaching me certain exercises and to make sure I was doing them correctly. After our sessions, he always followed up by sending videos to help me train properly at home. I am now much more conscious of the way I move and I can apply Luke's advice to continue my progress. For more information about Luke, visit his website, Thrive Movement, at https://www.thrivemovementvermont.com.

For the past several years Ive been dealing with several nagging physical issues resulting from a very active lifestyle and the inevitable ramifications of daily life. These issues have had a profound impact on my short, medium, and long-term goals of living well and thriving physically. After having limited success trying to work on them on my own, I reached out to Luke to bring his knowledge, experience, skill and professionalism into play.What a good decision!! Progress has been made!! Its not easy to deal with physical issues and it requires an on-going commitment of time and energy. But, I know that I can count on Lukes assistance every step of the way. Thank You!!!

I started working with Luke in April, 2018 after a particularly debilitating bout with back spasms, something I have endured for many years. I was referred to Luke by my physician. We started on a program of deep-tissue massage, followed by a series of stretches and mobility maneuvers and have been meeting at the beginning twice per week, and now once each week. I have not had a recurrence of back spasms, but of equal, if not more importance, Ive greatly increased lateral mobility in my neck, I have greater range of motion in my back, better balance and my wife says my posture is greatly improved. Luke is knowledgeable, sincere, thorough, follows through and is a delight to work with.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer package rates for each of my services - Massage Therapy, Personal Training, and Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching. I have a Client Referral Program where clients earn discounts for sharing my service with their friends and family members.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The starting point in my work with others is focused on three key areas. 1. What is your current state physically, mentally, and emotionally? 2. What is your desired outcome? What do you want to feel? What experience to you want to create? 3. Where have you been? What have you tried? What was and wasn't helpful?
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I earned a Master's Degree in Exercise Science in 2002 from UMaine and have been working with clients in various training and coaching capacities since. I completed the Fellowship of Applied Functional Science program through the Gray Institute in 2008. This experience played an important role in expanding my approach to personal training and provided me with the knowledge and skills to support clients who where managing pain and injury. In 2014, I earned a Certification in Massage Therapy to add to my repertoire to build more of a holistic practice and to serve others in a multitude of ways toward the experience in their body that want to create. I'm currently finishing a nutrition certification program to firm up my knowledge of nutrition science and my system for guiding people to reach the goals they have in a way that is best suited to their wants, needs, and preferences. In addition to the credentials mentioned above, I've worked with key mentors in the areas of personal training, nutrition and lifestyle coaching, and massage therapy to improve the effectiveness of my services and to embody the habits and the lifestyle I help others to move toward. Learning for me is a lifelong pursuit.
