Lukas Barker

Lukas Barker, PT, DPT was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, where he originally received a Bachelors of Science in Finance from the Eller College of management. Though he had many positive experiences with physical therapy as a young athlete, it was not until recovering from an injury while playing club soccer at the University of Arizona that he ultimately decided to pursue a career in physical therapy. After serving as a physical therapy technician for a few years at several clinics in Tucson, he obtained his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff.

Lukas is passionate about sharing his love of health and fitness with his patients and helping them to achieve their movement goals. He strives to take a holistic approach with each patient, creating individualized treatment plans based on the current literature and best available evidence. Lukas looks to continually expand his knowledge of the field of physical therapy as well as a variety of other topics including strength training, cardiovascular exercise, and sport-specific rehabilitation.

After achieving many of his own movement goals through physical therapy, he looks to help individuals of various backgrounds and activity levels do the same. Outside the clinic, he enjoys weight training, playing sports, and spending time on one of Tucson’s many hiking trails. He also enjoys being constantly let down by his two favorite teams - the Arizona Cardinals and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
