Kaia provides virtual pain management for members suffering from acute or chronic pain

Get back to doing what you love! WHA and Optum teamed up to help members address pain - whether a stiff neck, aching shoulders, or more severe back issues (see this flyer on this digital pain management program) available to eligible WHA plan members*. 

Sometimes, access to in-person therapy or taking time to travel to appointments can hinder getting the care you need. Now, we're bringing pain management direct through your mobile phone (or tablet). 

Members with acute or chronic neck, shoulder, back, hip, wrist, or knee pain can benefit from timely personalized pain management that is accessible anytime or anywhere. Optum brings the Kaia program to WHA members via a smartphone app. 

Kaia Health offers evidence-based MSK rehabilitation techniques to help proactively manage back pain, as well as other acute or chronic physical pain. This type of expertise integrated with technology shows real promise for members to get care conveniently. 

The technology was designed by orthopedists and physical therapists. The app uses AI-driven therapy instruction and monitoring, to offer members access to personalized exercises and coaching through technology.
