Best practices for health professionals is similar to the building code for trades Best practices don’t tell pros how to treat or what tools to use just like the building code doesn’t tell trades what kind of house to design/build or what tools to use They both simply ensure that whatever gets done meets a minimum requirement of critical elements They are guidelines that ensure a minimum level of quality and hold pros and trades accountable to doing the right things [trogon_857921]

5 essential practices for health professionals who work with the lower extremity: 1) Mindset education Thinking long term, focusing on removing unnatural inputs first then adding natural inputs, being consistent and patient, understanding that pain is a teacher not an enemy, 1% better everyday is the objective 2) Movement education Less time sitting in chairs, more time walking and on the ground, the body requires varied movement everyday 3) Footwear education Eliminate shoes that damage your feet and mess up your posture, spend time barefoot and wear natural footwear when your feet need protection (foot shaped, flat, flexible, thin sole, fixed to your foot) 4) Pain education Pain is an adaptive signal that must be listened to, pain isn’t the enemy and shouldn’t be muted, pain is the most powerful feedback that guides correct action 5) Movement screening Single leg balance for 60 seconds, sit to stand no hands, resting squat position If you don’t apply these in your practice, you are not upholding a reasonable standard of care and you are not being as effective as you could be [macaw_853566]

Over a long enough time period, If you treat lower extremity issues (hip, thigh, knee, ankle, foot) and don’t recommend natural footwear, you will not be taken seriously Reputational pain will force disease care pros to update their approach Option 1: be curious, update your knowledge and reclaim effectiveness by applying best practices Option 2: be rigid, refuse to update your knowledge, keep treating symptoms without addressing root causes and be left behind Every pro has a choice to make Not choosing IS a choice [trogon_853408]

Consensus team opinion: This note from @Guy Swann is important to understand View quoted note → [851591]

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 [toucan_851544]
