Everyday 10,000 shocks to your spine and other joints create feet and leg problems and a stooped, passive posture. MBT© relaxes your braced
position, erects your vertebral column and relieves your back, knee, pelvis and feet which increases muscle activity & circulation and leads to a relaxed, upright posture relieving muscular tension and joint problems.
What is MBT?
Applications
MBT© is not a normal shoe, rather it is a training tool: therefore, one cannot simply put them on and go. Walking in MBT© requires a simple learning session, and each MBT© comes complete with training video, special MBT© exercise instructions and application instructions. The correct application is an important requirement for successful and healthy walking in MBT©.
As use of MBT© sometimes can involve the realignment of the musculature, when MBT© are first used users may experience some discomfort, but this soon passes in most cases. As with any piece of health and fitness equipment, if you experience any on-going discomfort you should cease use immediately and consult your doctor. If you are to use MBT© to treat specific injuries or medical conditions, you must consult a qualified MBT© trainer.
No matter what the goal, if for training, information or therapeutic uses, you will benefit from visiting an introductory course lead by a fully qualified MBT© trainer. Information of courses and locations in the US can be found by contacting us.
History
Since his return to Switzerland MBT© has been developed and researched, and is now widely used successfully across Europe.
Masai Barefoot Technology or MBT© is not just a shoe in the ordinary sense - it is a revolutionary fitness aid from SwissMasai. This product will not only change the way you use your muscles, but will improve the use of your joints and spine. The uniquely designed sole, combined with correct training, achieves a more active and healthy posture and walk.
BENEFITS
MBT© is for everyone. It's the worlds smallest gym. Gentle, active rolling instead of repeated compression leads to relaxed, natural standing and walking. Muscular tensions decrease and the muscles become more balanced.
Swiss engineer Karl Müller has been developing MBT© for over a decade. Suffering from back, knee and Achilles tendon problems himself, he looked for a solution. During his long stay in Asia he recognized that hard, even surfaces were to blame for his increasing pain. Studying the people around him helped him to develop a product that transforms hard, flat ground into a soft and uneven surface while strengthening the body.
