The Solo Patient Model Is Broken — Here's What Smart Practitioners Are Doing Instead
In this talk, Kelly Alhooie explains how she moved from a traditional one‑on‑one "solo patient" model to a group‑coaching approach. She observes that while she applies the same underlying clinical method to patients with chronic pelvic pain, urinary leakage, pregnancy‑related issues, and other conditions, the actual treatments differ for each individual. Recognizing that the shared method could be taught collectively, she realized that grouping patients together would address common systemic frustrations in healthcare—such as limited time, burdensome documentation, and low reimbursement—while also delivering certainty and community that patients crave. Alhooie argues that modern tools like ChatGPT give patients instant answers, so they seek clinicians for validation, support, and a sense of belonging. She highlights that her method, refined over treatment of tens of thousands of patients, is not limited to exercises but integrates stress management, nutrition, supplements, relationships, daily activities, and work‑life factors. By implementing this holistic method in a group setting, she claims to achieve high success rates, greater patient satisfaction, and a scalable model that can transform healthcare delivery.
