Central Physical Therapy

Central Physical Therapy is about the people who are committed to helping the residents of our community who choose us to guide them through their Physical Therapy needs. When you enter Central Physical Therapy, you will find more than Physical Therapy happening. Our staff of Physical Therapists, Assistant Physical Therapists, PT Technicians and front office welcome you to a pleasant atmosphere of caring. We make every effort to go beyond our patients physical needs by involving the mind, body and soul of everyone in the healing process. A patient's first encounter with us is usually through our outstanding front office. Our receptionist, Vicky Dartez or our billing manager, Vonda Ferguson sets the stage for a pleasant experience. Helen Balzli PT, owner of Central Physical Therapy, has twenty-seven years experience and is joined by outstanding therapists with even more experience and the best credentials available in Physical Therapy. Tom Coplin PT, clinic administrator, has thirty-eight years experience during which time he served ten years as PT for the Minnesota Twins professional baseball team and the Minnesota North Stars professional hockey team. The most recent addition to our staff is Erik Strahan DPT, who has recently completed his Doctorate in Physical therapy as well as five years experience as a Certified Athletic Trainer. Rounding out our staff is Van Lipscomb PTA, who is in charge of our very successful Occupational Medicine program which includes employment testing, successful return to work, drug and alcohol testing. We are also joined by exceptional PT Technicians and Lisa Pocorello who support the PT staff.
