Kaia Health

I can’t talk you how invaluable this app is. Rather than doing a quick demo, it walks you through 5 short movements. It is provided free of charge through my health insurance. I was underutilizing it because I didn’t realize it had extra exercises on demands. There are 3 intensity levels. I’m sure there a scientific reason why they are brief & the sequence are in. Only thing i wish i can focus on different area of pain/mobility mgt-1 area in am, other are in pm, but i guess that’s what the on demand videos are for. If i feel i have capacity for more reps, i pause the video to get extra reps. There’s a fitness assessment, & if your range of motion isnt better, they allow you to do an extra round/series of Virtual PT. BETTER THAN IN PERSON PT, except in person PT has massage, assistive stretch & the tens electric stimulation. I have a personal tens massager & stretching ropes-resistance bands that takes the place of assistive stretch.

I love this app. I had a back injury this spring and did a lot of research, downloaded this app and tried it. I also went to physical therapy. This app was the best (although seeing a doctor & PT is obviously necessary for individual diagnoses). If you have neck / back / hip pain, the cost is nothing for what you get. I spent so much money trying to get better, including special pillows and books. They all helped, but this app took the prize. I still use it all the time whenever I have flare ups (and I try to use it for prevention as much as possible, too). In addition to specific yoga for SI joint dysfunction (which I was diagnosed) I thankfully have a full box of tools to heal. And, when I had a question, they responded quickly and were so friendly and helpful. Thanks!

I am a 62 year old male. Have had off and on back problems for 30 years. A few months ago I went through physical therapy. The drive was 30 min and the session was 45 min. My ins co-pay was $30 per visit. I learned the exercises and had to remember what l learned to do them at home. The exercises helped a lot. Recently I hurt my back doing dead lifts (never again). Versus going back to physical therapy I tried this Kaia app. I felt relief the very first time. By the third day I am walking very near normal. A normal walk looks youthful. When my back is out my walk looks like an old man. My wife does not like it when I walk like an old man. This app is like having a physical therapist 24 hours a day. Thanks
