"Larry is an amazing physical therapist and a really great guy to work with. He really understands the human body and how certain muscle groups are affected by different issues. I've been having shoulder and carpal tunnel issues and he helped me figure out what was causing it and how to reverse the issue. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with these types of issues!"

"Fuel physical therapy saved my track season. Tore my ACL and meniscus in October of 23. I missed my entire sophomore season due to the injury. After preliminary rehab I was looking for a serious trainer who could work me and my knee back into running form. The training went incredibly well and my knee is pain free and feeling great. Larry is a great trainer who pushes you to reach your goals and is very flexible about scheduling sessions around work and other commitments. Overall I give Fuel a 10/10. It is a great place to recovery from injuries and a great resource to help you accomplish your mental and physical goals."
