MBT shoe

"MBT doesn't simply guide and cushion your feet, it changes the load on your spine and encourages the postural muscles to be more reactive and supportive. They really do work."
Time Out

"I've noticed a huge difference in my posture, but the best thing has been an improvement in my lower back pain - I've woken up ache free for the first time in two years."
Daily Mirror

MBT Shoes improve Biomechanical Function

Through the biomechanical function of MBT shoes, the muscles, joints and spine begin to function anatomically correct. Joint wear is reduced, and with it pain.

Most muscular and skeletal problems originate from poor posture and faulty gait patterns.
MBT shoes help you correct these in a natural way.

Used correctly - an investment in your health
 

Timo Konietzka (64), Former professional soccer player.
Member of the German national team. He scored the first goal in the "German Bundesliga".

1999 he was a so called sport invalid with severe back -,joint - and Achilles - tendon problems. After 6 month with MBT shoes he was completely free of pain.
 

With every step taken, MBT shoes are therapeutic and simulaneously preventative.

MBT shoes lead from a passive, straining gait to an active gait pattern that is gentler on the back and additionally stabilizes the pelvis and the spine.

MBT shoes re-establish the natural conditions for standing and walking.

Walking more upright not only looks better but automatically makes you healthier and stronger. Your back and joints are strengthened, circulation is increased and breathing is more efficient. MBT shoes lengthen and strengthen your whole body while standing, walking or in gentle running.

10,000 soft therapeutic steps are better than 10,000 shocks to the back and joints

 

MBT shoes force you to balance and to walk upright. Balancing means that your muscles are working, instead of overloading joints.

Through the action of a tension interchange of the muscles, they become shock absorbers for the joints and through this the body experiences release of tension, relaxation and improved circulation. In short, the effects of walking with MBT shoes are both training and “massage”.
MBT can be used to treat * :

  • Joint and spine problems - lower back pain, arthritis, rib blockages, neck problems,
    osteoporosis
  • Hip and knee problems - muscular imbalances, degenerative changes
  • Foot problems - Hallux valgus, clubfoot, flatfoot, spread foot, heel spur and Achilles tendon tear
  • Inflammatory diseases - arthritis, m. Bechterew, Multiple Sclerosis
  • Neurological problems - Hemiparesis, CP
  • Circulatory problems - PAVK, Diabetes mellitus
  • Injuries and rehabilitation of the lower extremities
  • Miscellaneous - pregnancy, toning after giving birth, and pelvic floor training
  • Therapy-resistant patients who search for an alternative therapeutic method
  • Patients, who for individual reasons wish for an alternative treatment method to the
    classical medical, surgical and manual treatment methods.
  • As an alternative to orthapaedic inserts, therefore training the muscles as opposed to guiding,
    supporting and absorbing shock.
  • Symptomatic relief of M Bechterew, Multiple Sclerosis etc. through the clear improvements made to the musculature which can then work more effectively to influence a safer gait pattern.
  • Patients in rehabilitation following back, hip, knee and foot injuries
  • Following back, hip, knee, ligament and tendon treatment or operations to improve coordination of the movements, circulation and strength.
  • To improve circulation in patients with diabetes (build up of collateral in the peripheral vessels)
  • In pregnancy to strengthen the muscles of the back and limit the swelling of the legs, after pregnancy for tissue/skin toning and to train the pelvic floor to overcome stress incontinence.
  • With neurological deficiencies (e.g. hemiparesis and cerebral palsy): Tone of the trunk is altered which limits the (extension) spasticity in the extremities (i.e. associated reactions).
  • With inflammatory or degenerative joint and spine problems (e.g. rheumatism, arthrosis, osteoporosis), through the correct application of mBT there are less shocks to the body and less load. .

UK press (The Times, Time Out, Daily Mirror, etc.) and hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic customer recommend MBT for:

  • Gentle active rolling instead of repeated shocks and compressions
  • Improved core stability
  • Relaxed upright posture
  • Muscles toning (legs, stomach, buttocks)
  • Help in the reduction of cellulite reported
  • Well-being / prevention
