OVERVIEW

ABOUT PELVIC FLOOR REHAB
At Modern Medicine Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine in Gilbert, AZ, pelvic floor rehab is led by Rinku Bhakta, PT, DPT. She will take the time to listen and you can explain what’s bothering you in your own words. If Gujarati is easier for you, she speaks it. That makes many patients feel more comfortable and understood.

There are a multitude of reasons people stop in regarding pelvic floor issues. Leaks when sneezing or lifting are common. Some feel pressure or heaviness from pelvic organ prolapse. Constipation, bladder pain, or aches from endometriosis or interstitial cystitis bring others in. Painful intimacy, like vaginismus, dyspareunia, or vulvodynia, is another reason. Men seek help for testicular pain, urinary problems, or recovery after prostate surgery. Postpartum or post-gender-affirming surgery patients also need support.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

SCHEDULE

REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT

Most patients begin once a week. As your strength and control improve, appointments spread out. The goal is steady, realistic progress.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

We start by learning your history and testing how your core and pelvic muscles respond during simple movement. This shows where weakness or tightness is getting in the way.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

Each session is private and hands-on. Some focus on releasing tension. Others target muscle control and balance. Your therapist adjusts as you go so every visit fits your comfort level.

This is our go to place for all physical therapy! We have been coming here for at least 3 years now for my daughter’s sports injuries from dance. They also do imaging so it is a 1 stop clinic. We have been very pleased with the results but what’s set them apart is the staff. They take their time to explain everything to you, take their time with the therapy and treat you like family. We highly recommend them to everyone we know!

Anyone looking for a PT team look no further. I had an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) surgery mid-September. Physical Therapy was recommended after week 4 post surgery. My journey to find the right fit began and ended at Modern Physical Therapy in Gilbert. I was looking for a ‘team’ that would partner with me so I would receive the best, safest and most effective care/results possible knowing that my recovery would not be easy or a quick fix. My treatments began the beginning of October with Ben and Drey who are great listeners, are extremely accomplished with all types of needs and have been an amazing part of my team. Equally as important are the girls who are at the front desk. The girls are first to welcome you, accommodate your schedules while making appts, and answer any questions you may have with insurance etc. I highly recommend Modern PT and their entire team!!

Modern PT is excellent. They are very supportive and really do a good job with therapy. The whole staff is very kind. They take 1 hour and run on time which I really like. I appreciate their treatments. I feel much better after a hard surgery.

What Are You Experiencing?

Most people don’t come in knowing exactly what treatment they need. What they do know is that something hurts. That’s all we need to start. Fill out this quick form and just tell us how your pain feels. Once we read through it, we’ll give you a call to talk about what might be causing it and what we can do to help.

  LOW  HIGH  

SEVERE PAIN

If your pain feels unbearable or you can’t think straight, please don’t wait; call 911 or head to the hospital right away. Get the urgent care first. Once you’re safe, we’ll be here to help with the next steps.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

This is the kind of pain that doesn’t stop you completely, but it makes every day harder. Maybe it’s sharp. Maybe it’s dull and won’t let up. Write down what it feels like. We’ll go over it with you and start figuring out what’s behind it.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

Even the small stuff matters. A stiff back in the morning, sore joints after work, or little aches that keep showing up are all worth paying attention to. Tell us what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help you stay on top of it before it gets worse.

Answering Your Questions

Can this therapy help with pain during exercise?

Pain during squats, running, or lifting often comes from weak or tight pelvic muscles. When those muscles are retrained, movement feels natural again, and pain starts to fade.

Is pelvic floor therapy only for people with leaks?
No. Many patients don’t have leaks at all. Some come in for back, hip, or abdominal pain that’s linked to muscle imbalance. The pelvic floor connects to many parts of the body.
What if I’ve already tried exercises on my own?

That’s common. Sometimes online routines don’t address the real cause. A therapist checks your specific movement patterns so exercises match what your body needs.

Can this help with postpartum recovery even years later?

Yes. It’s never too late. Muscles respond no matter how long it’s been since childbirth. Many people see improvements in stability and comfort within weeks.

How private are sessions?

Completely private. Each appointment happens in a quiet room with a licensed therapist. You decide what feels comfortable, and nothing is done without consent.

Do I need a referral?

Usually not. You can call Modern Medicine Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Gilbert, AZ, directly. If your insurance requires one, our team will confirm before you begin.

"Our goal is to help you solve some of your most painful life experiences."

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.
