OVERVIEW

ABOUT PELVIC FLOOR REHAB

At Modern Medicine Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine in East Mesa, AZ, pelvic floor rehab is led by Rinku Bhakta, PT, DPT. Most people notice right away that she’s easy to talk to. She lets you explain things in your own words and doesn’t rush the conversation. And if Gujarati is the language you’re most comfortable with, she speaks it, so you don’t have to search for the “right” phrase to describe what’s going on.

People come in for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes it’s leaking during a workout or a cough you didn’t expect. Sometimes it’s that dragging feeling from a mild prolapse that shows up by the end of the day. Others have a deep ache from endometriosis or bladder pain from IC that seems to flare on its own. Constipation, pelvic pressure, pain with intimacy, even testicular pain, these things show up more often than people think. Postpartum patients arrive trying to sort out what’s normal and what isn’t. It’s a wide mix, but it usually connects back to how the pelvic floor is handling its job.

These muscles don’t complain loudly at first. They just tighten, or stop supporting, or hold tension in ways you don’t notice until daily life starts feeling “off.” Maybe it hurts to sit. Maybe urgency hits out of nowhere. Maybe you just feel heavy in your pelvis by the afternoon. None of it is something you have to live with. Therapy helps calm things down and rebuild control.

I was in chronic pain for 6+ months. I saw three different sports medicine physicians with no answers or relief. I started going to Bloom with the expectation of just managing my pain with dry needling. Eric did a few treatments on my shoulder as I requested but I kept coming back. He took a time out and wanted to make sure that nothing was overlooked, so he did an ultrasound. He found a rotator cuff tear, it was overlooked by other providers. I’m finally getting the right treatments and healing. I’m so so grateful that he took the time. This office is wonderful and you feel like family as soon as you walk through the door.

I started seeing Eric in the middle of last year because of a sudden back spasm injury. As an avid runner I wanted to be treated and be able to get back out there on the road again. Eric and his team gave me the confidence and the tools to have me running in 6 weeks. His knowledge and attention to his patients went far beyond what I have received in a long time at other PT facilities. I am now a healthy runner, I know what it takes to keep my body strong, and I can always visit the team when I need to keep a little tweak or get dialed in before the races.

I had never tried, or even heard of, dry needling before, but after Eric treated my elbow, it magically came around in a matter of weeks, after being tight and sore and painful for months post-surgery. I couldn’t believe it! He then turned his attention to areas of my back, hips and legs, and the impact was similarly fantastic! I can’t say enough about the procedure, and Eric’s expertise in it!… In addition to the dry needling, Eric and Frank have put me through and given me a variety of core and functional exercises to help with my strength and stability…

What Are You Experiencing?

You might not know what treatment you need, as most people don’t. What you do know is that something hurts. That’s enough for us to start. Fill out this quick form and just tell us how it feels. We’ll look it over and reach out to talk through what could be going on and what might help.

LOW HIGH

SEVERE PAIN

If your pain feels like too much to handle, please don’t wait around. Call 911 or get to the nearest hospital. Once the emergency part is taken care of, we’ll be here to help you with longer-term support.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

Maybe it’s not stopping you from getting through the day, but it’s always there feeling sharp, dull, or just plain annoying. Let us know what it feels like. We’ll work with you to figure out why it’s happening and how to make things easier.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

A little soreness or stiffness might not sound like much, but it can still mess with your day. Those small aches are often your body’s way of saying something needs attention. Tell us what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help keep it from turning into something worse.

Answering Your Questions

Can therapy help with constipation or bowel strain?

Often, yes. A lot of people push against muscles that are actually bracing, which makes everything harder. When those muscles learn to coordinate again, bathroom habits usually smooth out.

Does pelvic floor therapy help with endometriosis or IC pain?

It can. Those conditions often leave the pelvic muscles on high alert. Once that tension eases, the constant deep ache usually softens too.

Can therapy improve painful intimacy?

Yes. Pain tied to vaginismus, dyspareunia, or vulvodynia often involves muscles clenching at the wrong time. Therapy helps shift that pattern so intimacy doesn’t feel like something you need to brace for.

Do men ever need pelvic floor therapy?

Absolutely. Testicular pain, pelvic tightness, urine flow issues, especially after prostate surgery, are common reasons men come in.

Is therapy helpful during pregnancy or after childbirth?

Very much so. Pregnancy changes how everything works, and postpartum muscles don’t always reset on their own. Gentle therapy helps both stages feel more manageable.

Can Gujarati-speaking patients see Rinku?

Yes. Many already do. Being able to speak Gujarati with her makes it easier to describe symptoms honestly and comfortably. You can request her when you schedule.

MODERN MEDICINE
CEO

"When an athlete gets injured, a team of doctors and therapists evaluates them, orders imaging, and decides the best path forward. If surgery is needed, they go straight to surgery; if not, they get condition-specific physical therapy and targeted injections to speed healing. This is the same process pro athletes use to get back on the field quickly—and at Modern, you can access that same level of care for the same cost as any other physical therapy clinic." - Josh Adams

Without Advanced Imaging

Your PT

is Operating Blindly.

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

CHOOSING THE MODERN WAY

What separates MODERN SPORTS MEDICINE from just about every other company is our physical therapists and orthopedists utlize advanced imaging technology to enable them to SEE what they are doing. Everyone else is operating blindly.

ADVANCED IMAGING + TREATMENT = MODERN
