What to expect on this call

You and your therapist will begin by discussing important details about your medical history and current injuries. Then, your therapist will assess your level of function and activity through some simple movements on camera. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and to clear a bit of space around you before your call to accommodate these exercises. If you need an assistive device, have this handy as well. Your call will conclude with some next steps to take on your health journey with Kaia.
