Fuel Sports Physical Therapy - Northbrook

My 14-year-old son loves basketball, but for over a year he struggled with constant knee pain that no doctor, physical therapist, or strength program could truly fix. The pain always came back, and as a parent, it was heartbreaking to watch him push through it without real relief. One night, after endless searching, I came across Fuel Sports Physical Therapy on Instagram. I reached out, and Dr. Larry Frank kindly offered a discounted first session. After reading all the reviews, I felt hopeful—but it wasn’t until we met him that I realized we had finally found the right place. Dr. Larry immediately recognized the exact symptoms my son was dealing with. His confidence, knowledge, and clear plan instantly put us at ease. My son began working with him from August through early November, lea

Larry has been amazing treating my daughter after her ACL surgery. He’s not your traditional PT. He incorporates tough workouts and strength training and has many great tools to measure progress. He’s also a great communicator and super personable. She loves coming here because she sees and feels the results. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience with Fuel Sports. First had a very detailed call with Larry, where he took the time to really understand my issue and explain what was likely going on. After that, I worked with Sarah for about 8–9 weeks, and she was fantastic. Sarah helped me properly diagnose the root cause of my pain and gave me clear, practical exercises to do at home. The plan was easy to follow and actually worked. I’m now pain-free, and even when the pain occasionally comes back, I know exactly what to do. I start my exercises and stretches, and it goes away. If you’re looking for physical therapy that focuses on education, long-term fixes, and not just temporary relief, I’d highly recommend Fuel Sports. Thanks Sarah!!!

Larry is incredibly kind and personable, but also wildly talented and passionate about helping people return to their activity. He has such breadth of knowledge about innovative tools and treatment methods…every session with him is focused, outcome oriented and effective. My 13 year old soccer player started seeing Larry after knee surgery and after graduating from traditional PT. It felt like we were at the place with her recovery that she needed more, and more soccer specific prep for her body. Larry put her through an evaluation to assess exactly what her abilities were, where she would need to be before she was cleared to return, and how long that would take. He is so good with the teens and makes the hard work fun, even! He’s a fantastic, truly 5-star practitioner.

Larry is compassionate, detail oriented and extremely professional. Both of my high school athletes have worked with Larry to recover from overuse injuries. Larry guided us from consultation, strength training, rebuilding and created individual recovery plans for my kids. My kids gained knowledge, confidence and were able to return to their sports stronger both mentally and physically. I cannot recommend Fuel Sports Physical Therapy enough!! Larry has made a huge impact on my high school athletes, he is thoughtful about his approach and recognized right away that my kids needed to be approached differently. This is not a “one size fits all” treatment program. We will never go to another practitioner and I can wholeheartedly say that Larry has changed our lives.
