Frequently Asked Questions

Is AKMI a Practice Better alternative for health coaches?
Only if your practice centers on biomechanical assessment and structural programming. Practice Better is designed for wellness practitioners -- nutritionists, naturopaths, health coaches -- who need scheduling, telehealth, intake forms, and insurance billing. AKMI is designed for coaches who measure bodies and generate exercise protocols from structural data. The use cases barely overlap.
Practice Better handles nutrition tracking. How does AKMI compare?
Practice Better offers food journaling, meal plan templates, and nutrient analysis tools built for dietitians and nutritionists. AKMI has a nutrition protocol builder that integrates with the biomechanical coaching workflow -- it is designed for coaches who prescribe nutrition alongside structural training, not for standalone nutrition counseling.
Can I do telehealth sessions through AKMI?
No. Practice Better has built-in video conferencing for virtual consultations. AKMI is not a telehealth platform. Most AKMI coaches use Zoom or Google Meet for video sessions alongside the assessment platform.
I need to bill insurance. Which platform handles that?
Practice Better. It generates insurance superbills and handles the documentation required for insurance reimbursement. AKMI does not handle insurance billing -- it is a coaching and assessment tool, not a clinical practice management system.
Can I use both platforms together?
Yes, and some practitioners do. Practice Better handles the business side -- scheduling, payments, telehealth, documentation. AKMI handles the assessment and programming side -- structural analysis, ROM tracking, AI protocol generation. They address different parts of a practice.
