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.

Our aim is to return individuals to work, athletics, activity level and the lifestyle they enjoyed prior to pain, injury or surgery.
