Children have unique physical and developmental needs. At ARI Physical Therapy, our pediatric therapists create a fun, encouraging, one-on-one environment where kids can heal, grow, and reach their milestones. We work closely with families, too, so progress continues at home as well as in the clinic.

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.

Care is always one-on-one and in person at our Bakersfield clinic, located at 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.
