Building a culture of high standards
As we leave the paradigm of disease care behind and pioneer a new healthcare paradigm, setting high standards is important
We feel that building a culture of high standards is well worth the effort and has significant benefits
Ultimately, high standards create a better service for patients & clients. This is most important
Less obvious: people are drawn to high standards. Growth minded professionals want to master their craft and will gravitate towards standards that nudge them towards excellence in their practice
A culture of high standards reinforces a reputation of excellence among health professionals
In a culture of high standards, doing great work is it’s own reward. It’s part of what it means to be a professional
Four essential elements of high standards:
1) They are teachable
2) They are domain specific
3) They must be recognized
4) They must be explicitly coached
Best practices are about setting a new standard of care and a culture of excellence among lower extremity health professionals

Lower extremity health is achieved mostly by subtraction
Subtract shoes that abuse your feet
Subtract chairs that disable natural lower body function
Subtract currencies that steal your time
For many, the hardest part of improving lower body function is accepting how simple it is and focusing on the essentials without getting distracted

Apollo is an open source lower extremity health protocol built on #Bitcoin
Wtf does that mean?
Open source: publicly accessible
Lower extremity: includes hip, thigh, knee, leg, ankle and foot
Health protocol: behavioural guidelines that restore natural health and function
Built on Bitcoin: all development is funded by bitcoin donations, all developers are paid in satoshis

Behaviour is software
Most humans are currently running garbage lower extremity software and eventually run into nasty foot, ankle, knee or hip issues
We write simple software that restores human hardware back to natural health & function
The software is grounded in first principles and peer validated experientially
The principles are simple:
1) Lower your time preference
2) Reduce unnatural inputs
3) Increase natural inputs
Don’t trust us. Run the software and verify for yourself
Have questions? DM us on nostr
Benefit from Apollo? Support us by zapping sats or sending a main chain donation to support development and propagation

Feiyue is flexible and flat but not foot shaped which is a deal breaker
Can’t find anything about cracking

Nature is a decentralized health network. Disconnect from her and we create dis-ease
Reconnect with her and we heal
Cushioned shoes are the first point of disconnection from the world around us
By eliminating shoes that disconnect us from reality, we immediately begin restoring a healthier foundation for the body

An effective Health professional helps individuals transmute pain into correct action
Their role is akin to that of a trail guide
They can tell you what to avoid and ensure you have the right tools for the journey, but they can’t take the journey for you
[peccarry_849614]
The role of a lower extremity Health professional:
- Help people think long term
- Help people let go of harmful, limiting beliefs
- Help people move more
- Help people eliminate harmful shoes
- Help people understand pain so they can develop a better relationship with it
- Screen movement so people can see where their current capacity is at and what deficits can be focused on

This role is very different than that of disease care professionals
We’re entering a new paradigm where disease care pros will either evolve into health pros or become obsolete
[macaw_849441]
Common false beliefs:
1. Genetics are causing the problem
2. The body breaks down with age
3. Pain is a nuisance that must be muted
4. Pain means damage is happening
5. The body is flawed and requires artificial inputs to function properly
6. The body is too complex for me to understand so I need “experts” to help me
These false beliefs create obstacles to health progress
Dropping them can often be the most important first step in the journey to develop better lower body health
[quetzal_849314]
Two truth nuggets for pros who work with the lower extremity:
1) If you treat symptoms of disease without addressing root causes, you can’t honestly call yourself a health professional
2) if you don’t screen movement or educate people you serve about mindset, movement, footwear and pain, you are not being as effective as you could be
[trogon_849307]
Professional standards will weed out ineffectiveness and incompetence
Best practices create a new benchmark and establish a baseline standard of care
As knowledge of best practices spread, social and financial incentives naturally develop around the provision of effective healthcare services
Eventually, it will no longer be profitable to treat symptoms of disease without addressing root causes
This is the paradigm shift from disease care to healthcare and it’s going to be awesome

The bar has been raised
Best practices for lower extremity health professionals
May the social and financial incentives begin
[trogon_847388]
Paso a paso
Step by step
Modest improvements, consistently done
1% better everyday
Small steps everyday that lead to huge improvements over time
Incrementalism
Gradualism
This is the mindset that enables health
[quetzal_847374]
We’re dematerializing billions of dollars spent on disease care into software
Behaviours = human software
We develop peer validated software and make it available to the world for free
Our donors help us do that

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete”

Open source health software built on #Bitcoin will obsolete fiat disease care
We’re here for it
We won’t give up
Run better software = have better health

A message to all lower extremity health professionals
Do you educate your patients or clients clients about
Mindset?
Movement?
Footwear?
Pain?
Do you screen fundamental human movements like sit to stand, single leg balance and resting squat?
If not, wtf are you doing?
If so, you are applying best practices and we need your help to build consensus among our global community of lower extremity health professionals
DM us to offer input or to endorse best practices ❤️
[trogon_846646]
We build open source tools that empower people to develop better lower body health
….but
A tool is only powerful and helpful when wielded correctly by those operating it
The software is useless if it isn’t applied
Don’t trust us
Run the software and validate it for yourself
[macaw_846632]
You can literally walk your way out of lower body problems
Condition: you must cover your feet with footwear that allows them to function naturally
It’s that simple
[aracari_846542]
We develop software for human hardware
Upgrade your lower extremity operating system
Run Apollo
[peccary_846539]
Unnatural behaviours = malware for human biology
Most humans want to feel better are unintentionally running malware
Wearing unnatural shoes and spending the majority of waking hours sitting in chairs damages the lower body
Wearing natural shoes, spending time barefoot, walking and spending time on the ground is natural software that restores biology back to healthy default settings
Health is simple
Anyone making it complicated is either misinformed or has been sucked into the disease care vortex of medical complexity
