OVERVIEW
First, the expert therapist starts by asking questions and watching how your body moves. They’ll look at how your breathing and posture affect those muscles. Then you’ll work together on a plan. The objective is to teach your body how to move and support itself again. Sessions are quiet, private, and adjusted to what you can handle.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
You can call (480) 306-6627 or fill out the form to schedule an appointment online. Either way, we’ll answer questions and help you get set for your first visit.
SCHEDULE
REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT
Most people start once a week. When progress builds, we stretch visits farther apart. The pace follows your body, not a schedule.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
We check your posture, breathing, and how your pelvic muscles react. This tells us what’s too tight or not firing right.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
Some sessions focus on releasing tension. Others work on control and coordination. You’ll learn small changes that make daily movement easier.

DJ at Modern Sports Medicine Physical Therapy and Orthopedics in Peoria, AZ is by far the best physical therapist I’ve worked with! He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and clearly knows what he’s doing. His hands-on manipulation and manual therapy is over the top! I came from another physical therapy practice, and the care there wasn’t even close to the level I’ve received here. I’m very happy I made the switch and met DJ. Highly recommend him and this clinic. He is the best!!

I had a bad knee injury due to a sidewalk fall resulting in some major swelling, cuts and bruises and a slightly impacted meniscus tear. After seeing my PCP and having x-rays, I was directed to Physical Therapy. I searched several facilities and landed at Modern PT. I worked directly with DJ Repp for about 8 weeks and have to say DJ & his team are amazing. They were personable, and highly pro in all that they did in guiding the process to recovery. They work "together" with you according to a pace that you're comfortable with, while providing just enough challenge to keep you forward focused. I recovered so well under their great care. I would highly recommended this particular office at 83rd Ave & Cactus! in Peoria.

What Are You Experiencing?
Pain is hard to put into words. You might not have a good sense of what kind of care you need, and that’s OK. What matters is how things are right now. Please fill out this short form to summarize how things are. We will then follow up and take you through what may be causing the pain, as well as what may work as a solution.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If the pain is severe or more than you can manage, don’t wait. Call 911 or go straight to a hospital. Safety comes first. After that, we can help you find longer-term relief.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
Sometimes, pain may not bring you to your knees, but it still disrupts your daily life. Perhaps it’s intermittent and stabbing, or maybe it’s just present during the day. Let’s get those details from you, and we’ll do our best to determine what’s causing it.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
Little aches hurt just as badly. A sore shoulder, stiff knees, or a throbbing ache that shows itself every once in a while can still take its toll. Let us know how you’ve been doing, and we’ll take care of it for you before it grows into something bigger.

Answering Your Questions
Can this therapy help with trouble starting urination?
Yes. That problem often comes from tension in the pelvic muscles. Once they relax and learn to coordinate again, urination becomes easier and less strained.
Is it normal to feel pelvic pressure after standing?
Yes, and therapy helps. We strengthen the muscles that support your organs so they can hold up better during long days.
Does pelvic floor rehab help with pain during exercise?
It can. Many people who feel pain while running or lifting have muscle imbalance or poor coordination. Once we retrain the area, workouts feel smoother.
Can men do pelvic floor therapy?
Yes. Men come in for tightness, leakage, or post-surgery recovery. The sessions are private and focused on function, not discomfort.
Will I be sore afterward?
Maybe a little, like after light exercise. That fades fast. Most people leave feeling looser and more comfortable than when they arrived.
Do I need a referral?
Usually not. You can call Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Peoria, AZ, and schedule directly. If your insurance asks for one, we’ll help confirm that before your appointment.
