Progress at your paceDiscreet, respectful care every step of the way, with a therapist who listens and adjusts as you improve.
No referral needed to start. In California, you can see a physical therapist directly — for up to 12 visits or 45 days — so there's no need to wait for a doctor's note. 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.

Do I need a referral for pelvic floor therapy?
No. In California you can see a physical therapist directly — for up to 12 visits or 45 days, whichever comes first — so you can start without a doctor's referral. Some insurance plans still require a referral for coverage, so we recommend checking with your plan, and we're happy to help.
Is pelvic floor therapy private and discreet?
Yes. Pelvic floor therapy at ARI is provided one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist in a private treatment room. Your comfort and dignity come first at every visit.
