For Referring Physicians
You refer them to PT. Many never go.
Kiva recovers the patients who fall through the cracks — with a licensed PT-built, PT-monitored program they do from home. For orthopedic surgeons, internal medicine, and concierge physicians who want their active patients 40+ to keep moving.
Why Refer to Kiva
Give your patients a clear path between the clinic and the court
Most active adults 40+ do not need surgery or formal rehab — but they do need a structured, personalized plan to keep moving. That is the gap Kiva fills.
Catch the patients PT never reaches
More than 1 in 4 referred patients never start brick-and-mortar PT at all. Kiva gives them a licensed PT-built, PT-monitored path they can actually follow from home.
No copays. No drive time. No friction.
A full 6-week Precision Mobility™ program for one flat fee — no per-visit copays, no clinic parking, no scheduling backlogs. Patients stay consistent because it fits their life.
You stay physician of record
We report progress back to you. Kiva extends your care without replacing it — so your referral relationship stays intact and your patients keep moving.
The Leaky Referral Problem
Why active patients skip traditional PT
For busy adults 40+, the standard PT model is a non-starter. Small problems become big ones while they are stuck on the waiting list.
2–3x / week
Multiple in-clinic visits are hard to fit into a working schedule. Consistency drops before the first visit is even complete.
$30–$80 / visit
Copays stack up fast. A typical plan of care can run $500+ before the patient is discharged — if they ever start.
Weeks of delay
Scheduling backlogs mean motivation fades and stiffness progresses before the first appointment is available.
More than 1 in 4 referred patients never start PT at all.
Kiva catches those patients before they give up.
Partnership, Not Competition
We don't compete with your referral. We recover the rest.
Your relationship with brick-and-mortar PT stays intact. Kiva reaches the patients who were never going to make it there in the first place.
Traditional PT
12–18 visits at $30–$80 copay each, plus drive time, twice a week — before the plan of care is complete.
Kiva 6-Week Program
A full, licensed PT-built and PT-monitored program patients do from home. No per-visit copays. No clinic parking. No scheduling backlog.

How physician referrals work with Kiva
You refer
Send patients who need support but are unlikely to commit to brick-and-mortar PT — busy, active adults 40+ with stiffness, overuse concerns, or early mobility limitations.
We complete the intake
The patient completes a thorough movement assessment in the Kiva app. A licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy reviews goals, sport, and history.
We guide them at home
They receive a 2–6 week Precision Mobility™ program with clear instructions, video demos, and scheduled check-ins — all monitored by a licensed PT.
You stay updated
Progress is reported back to your office. If a patient needs clinical attention, they can book Virtual PT or In-Home PT with a licensed DPT — available in California and Illinois.
