Chris, a grandmother nearing retirement, had been facing multiple physical health issues after tearing her her meniscus 13 years ago. Despite various treatments–medications, percussion massage, and dry needling–doctors were unable to diagnose her ongoing knee instability, unexpected knee give-outs, and persistent knee and calf discomfort.
To address her pain, Chris tried in-person physical therapy and chiropractic care, but nothing seemed to provide lasting relief.
As a single mother, Chris was constantly balancing work and school, often feeling the stress from everyday life. As a computer programmer, she was also used to sitting for extended periods every day. Going into retirement, she was determined to lead a more active and healthy lifestyle to keep up with her grandchildren, who are the light of her life.
In March 2023, Chris began her journey with Kaia Health (Kaia) after receiving access via Solera Health, a benefit available through her employer. She quickly acquainted herself with the various activities available through the digital program, such as physical exercises, breathing techniques, and educational readings. With the help of her assigned coach, she was also able to modify her care plan to focus on non-weight bearing exercises that are easy on her knees. This personalized approach allowed her to adapt the activities to her abilities, which helped her stay engaged with the program while continuing to use her treadmill for exercise.
Thanks to the personalized and engaging nature of the Kaia app, Chris has successfully completed:
Outside of her daily activities, Chris has participated in group coaching webinars hosted by Kaia on the topic of Pelvic Floor Disorders to further educate herself about health and well-being.
With Kaia, Chris has seen remarkable improvements in her physical health, including improved strength and increased flexibility. Her knees stopped giving out and she feels more confident in being physically active. She continues to regularly communicate with her coach to adjust her goals and maintain her progress.
Chris’s story is a prime example of how a digital solution can transform lives through ongoing engagement and personalized support. Her commitment to the program and consistency in participation have been key to her success. By incorporating Kaia into her daily routine, Chris achieved significant improvements in her physical health, even as she is approaching retirement.
