What are the benefits of using the Kaia Health app?
The Kaia Health app offers several advantages to assist you on your wellness journey:
- Based on a holistic approach recommended by physicians: The Kaia Health app is based on a holistic approach to pain called multimodal rehabilitation (MMR). MMR is holistic because it addresses not only the biological aspects of pain, but the psychological and social ones, too.
- Creates an individualized training program: The Kaia Health app uses your feedback and input to help create a training plan just for you that adapts to your needs. You can adjust the challenge level of the physical exercises yourself by rating them in the Kaia Health app. You can also customize the length of each workout by choosing how many rounds of exercises you want to do. This makes it easy to fit your Kaia Health app training into your daily schedule.
- Designed for everyday use: We know that life gets busy. That’s why we designed the exercises in the Kaia Health app to be short and bite-sized. That way, it’s easy to fit your Kaia Health app exercises into your routine, in just 10 to 25 minutes a day.
- Lets you train anywhere: With the Kaia Health app, you can do your exercises wherever you find room to put down your exercise mat and get moving!
- Helps you become your own wellness specialist: By learning new tools, information, and skills in the Kaia Health app, you can become your own wellness specialist. With the right information and the right training, you can upgrade your habits, stay positive, and keep motivated.
- Gives real-time feedback on your exercises: Kaia Health virtual physical therapy feature offers real-time feedback on how you’re performing the exercises. Kaia Health virtual physical therapy will let you know right away if you need to make any adjustments as you’re doing the exercises, so you can get the most out of them.

Who is the Kaia Health app suitable for?
The Kaia Health app is intended to help teach people how to self-manage their nonspecific back pain. (This means pain that isn’t caused by a serious disease or back problem, and where the cause isn’t clear.) The Kaia Health app is also designed to help people learn tools developed to prevent previous back pain from returning.
Targeted exercise training has been demonstrated to have a positive effect on the symptoms of chronic (lasting longer than 3 months) nonspecific back pain.
We will show you as part of the in-app onboarding process more detail under which circumstances you should not use the app. In addition, you can check the Terms and Conditions for more information.
WARNING: The Kaia Health app cannot diagnose conditions or injuries and cannot safely exclude potentially dangerous causes for your back pain. Do not use the Kaia Health app in lieu of medical consultation. Please consult your doctor if you have any questions related to your diagnosis or treatment.
If you have a cause requiring treatment, such as a herniated disc, inflammation or injury to the spine, changes in the shape of the spine, or other diseases, the Kaia Health app is not designed to address back pain related to these causes. In these instances, consult your healthcare professional to identify other possible methods for self-management best suited to you or if you could still use Kaia despite your condition.
