Pelvic floor dysfunction is far more common than most people realize, and far more treatable. At ARI Physical Therapy, our licensed physical therapists provide discreet, evidence-based pelvic health care for women, one-on-one, helping you restore comfort, function, and confidence.
Your first visit (about 45–60 minutes) is a relaxed, confidential conversation about your history, symptoms and goals, followed by a gentle assessment. We then explain what is most likely causing your symptoms, in plain language.

A personalized treatment plan
Hands-on therapy, targeted exercises, and education, plus biofeedback training when it helps, so you can see how your pelvic floor muscles are working. Everything is aimed at the most likely cause we find at your evaluation and built around your body, your lifestyle and your goals, never a one-size-fits-all program.

Progress at your pace
Discreet, respectful care every step of the way, with a therapist who listens and adjusts as you improve. From day one we set clear expectations together, because we see your care as a partnership with you and your other care providers.
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 we have staff who speak Spanish and Hindi.
