Medical & Therapy
 FOR
MUSCULAR AND SKELETAL  PROBLEMS
For treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of:
Back, hip, leg and feet problems
Joint, muscle, ligament and tendon injuries
Therapy resistance
Physiotherapists, osteopaths & chiropractors recommend
the use of mBT to successfully help prevent and treat injuries.
Through the biomechanical function of MBT, the muscles, joints
and spine begin to function anatomically correct. Joint wear
is reduced,  and
with it pain.
With every step taken, MBT
is therapeutic and simultaneously preventative.

of MBT - more examples here |
Most muscular and skeletal problems originate
from poor posture and faulty gait patterns.
MBT leads from a passive, straining gait
to an active gait pattern that is gentler on the back and
additionally stabilizes the pelvis and the spine.
With every step taken, MBT is therapeutic and simulaneously
preventative.
With every step taken, MBT is therapeutic

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 sportinvalid with big back-,joint-
and Achilles- tendon problems. After 6 month with MBT he was
completely free of pain.

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

MBT forces 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 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.
*MBT is a therapeutical aid that can reduce pain and,
may have a positive influence an the causes of an illness
but does not treat the disease itself
