For treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of:

  • Back, hip, leg and feet problems
  • Joint, muscle, ligament and tendon injuries
  • Therapy resistance

Through the biomechanical function of MBT, the muscles, joints and spine begin to function in an anatomically correct manner. The postural muscles are toned up, joint wear is reduced, and with it pain.

With every step taken, MBT is therapeutic and simultaneously preventative.

Most muscular and skeletal problems originate from poor posture and faulty gait patterns.

MBT changes a passive, straining gait into an active gait pattern that is gentler on the back and additionally stabilizes the pelvis and the spine.

MBT forces you to rebalance and to walk upright. Rebalancing to your optimum postural alignment means that your muscles are working to support you, instead of overloading joints.

Through the action of a tension interchange of the muscles, when properly toned, 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 are both training and “massage”.
