    I have suffered severe headaches for over 30+ years. I started seeing Dr Boar for the needling process and I thrilled to say after 3 treatments I was at … More a pain level zero. There was never a day I was below on 2 on the pain scale prior to this. I continue to get the needling done once a week to release the tension in my shoulders and neck(the real cause of the aches). Dr Boar also performed the Epley maneuver to release me of Vertigo. I would give more stars if possible.

    I've been struggling with knee pain for nearly 8 months. I tried rest, cortisone injections, and other physical therapists. It wasn't until I … More worked with Dr. Lucian Boar that I actually started seeing progress. He spent a lot of time evaluating my situation and was very intentional about the exercises he prescribed. Working with him has truly been a game changer. My knee feels the best it's felt all year and every day is an improvement! Definitely recommend Lucian at Advanced Therapy and Performance. He's an awesome guy and really cares about his clients.

    Dr. Lucian is amazing! His practice is totally different than a "normal" approach to physical therapy, but in a good wait! It is such a relaxed … More and personable atmosphere while also maintaining a professional relationship with patients. He makes you feel like an equal or a friend of his rather than making you feel like you're just a name on a file. I HIGHLY recommend his therapy. I look forward to my treatments because we have laughing therapy while doing physical therapy. Dr. Lucian, keep doing what you're doing! Thank you for being a REAL person rather than a snobby doctor! 🙂
