Background: Cody started working at CIIB in 2018. He was introduced to the field of physical therapy as a patient due to injuries as a high school athlete. As a patient Cody enjoyed learning the structures and causes of his injuries and pain, and thought he would enjoy working in physical therapy. Outside of working at CIIB, Cody's favorite hobbies include boating and watching sports. Cody has learned so much beyond his formal training and schooling at CIIB, which is why he loves working here. He enjoys seeing and helping through his patients recovery process and challenging them in ways that lead to better outcomes.

Reviews

  • "I went to Central Illinois Institute of Balance because my balance was not good due to back issues and arthritis. I am amazed at how much I was helped. I was assigned to Cody and he patiently tried to figure out why I was struggling. After 6 weeks, twice a week of therapy I am so much more confident with my balance. I highly recommend Central Illinois Institute of Balance!"

  • "My husband Bob had a great experience with CIIB PT. Elizabeth, Cody, and Auston listened and adapted the therapy to his specific needs and worked together as a team. Cody identified and focused on a routine of activities that produced considerable benefit. All the staff at the clinic are pleasant, helpful, and caring."

  • "I had been dealing with some balance issues and was referred to CIIB. Cody was my PTA I worked with regularly. He was excellent to work with, very personable, and always had time to chat with me about concerns, next steps, etc. I was just discharged from PT this past week (yay!). I am so much better and am grateful I was referred to them."
