- Real, lasting progressWe track your improvement and guide you back to the activities that matter, with strategies to keep the gains.
No referral needed to start. In California, you can see a physical therapist directly — for up to 12 visits or 45 days — so you can begin right away. Some insurance plans still require a referral for coverage; call us at (661) 282-8584 and we'll help you check.
Why patients choose ARI
Care is always one-on-one and in person at our Bakersfield clinic — 8200 Stockdale Hwy, Suite B2, in the Town & Country Village center next to Trader Joe's. We accept most private insurance plans and Medicare, and our team speaks English, Spanish, and Hindi.
