Who We Are

Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers is Connecticut's largest private-practice physical therapy company with 33 locations around the state serving more than 20,000 patients every year. President Alan Balavender, a physical therapist himself, purchased and started the first PTSMC clinic in Waterbury in 2000. Balavender established a 'partnership model' that supports physical therapists who want to own and operate their own clinics, and has since helped more than 20 clinicians realize that goal.

Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers has achieved a reputation as a leader in healthcare throughout the state of Connecticut, improving the quality of life for our patients with a 'patient-centric' approach to physical therapy. Our aim is to return individuals to work, athletics, activity level and the lifestyle they enjoyed prior to pain, injury or surgery.

At PTSMC, we are always building our 'PT for Life' culture. 'PT for Life' is our philosophy for how we treat each other and our customers, be they patients, friends, family or clients. We are proud to be named a 'Top Workplace' in Connecticut for fourteen consecutive years - a distinction made even more meaningful by the fact that it is earned through employee feedback on factors such as job-satisfaction and work environment. We are also proud to have earned a 'World Class' designation by Net Promoter Score, an internationally recognized customer satisfaction survey, as well as a 5-star average review on Google. It is our commitment to provide excellent care and service to all who interact with PTSMC - from the first touchpoint to the moment a patient leaves feeling better - and to build lifelong relationships along the way.
