From Minor Aches to Major Setbacks: Why Generic Care Fails Active Bodies

What begins as a minor limitation today silently transforms into the barrier that keeps you sidelined tomorrow.

Generic Physical Therapy

Most physical therapy clinics aren't equipped to handle the unique needs and demands of athletes and active individuals.

Insurance Limitations

Restricted treatment plans based on what insurance allows, not what you actually need for optimal recovery and performance.

Weekend Warriors Missing Out

Your weekend plans should still include the activities you love, not be limited by ongoing pain and dysfunction.

"Larry changed my life - after a lower back injury, I ran the circuit of Chiropractors, X-Rays and MRI's for more than a year and couldn't find relief. In just a handful of sessions, Larry's recovery program had massively improved my issue and I am now back to working out regularly and am essentially pain free."

Common Questions Answered

Why don't you accept insurance?


Fuel Sports PT is an out-of-network provider because we made this decision with the athlete in mind, to make YOU the only focus and provide higher quality care. We are unhindered by limitations imposed by insurance providers – no need for authorization, no hidden or delayed costs, and no unnecessary delays in care. We do accept HSA and FSA cards, and can provide documentation for potential reimbursement.


What makes Fuel Sports Physical Therapy different from other clinics?


Most physical therapy clinics aren't equipped to handle the needs and demands of athletes. Every session at Fuel Sports PT is exclusively with Dr. Larry Frank, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Board Certified Sports Clinical Specialist. We bridge the gap from rehab to performance, focusing on getting you stronger and more confident, not just pain-free.


Do you work with both competitive athletes and recreational active adults?


Absolutely! We work with everyone from high school and college athletes to weekend warriors and active adults who want to maintain their lifestyle. Whether you're training for competition or just want to keep up with your favorite recreational activities, we tailor our approach to your specific goals and activity demands.


What is your approach to treatment?

We treat the root cause, not just put a band-aid on your pain. Our comprehensive approach includes thorough evaluation, hands-on treatment techniques, dry needling when appropriate, and progressive exercise programs designed to get you back to your activities stronger than before. Every treatment plan is customized specifically for your needs and goals.
