Principles of MBT
Masai BarefootTechnology® use state of the art equipment
to demonstrate the efficacy of MBT on user's gait, posture,
walking style etc. Below you will find examples of how MBT
helps the different aspects of a user's body.
How does it work ?
Through the unique design of its multilayered sole, MBT transforms
flat, hard, artificial surfaces into natural uneven surfaces,
simulating the walking action of our barefoot ancestors.
Unlike conventional shoes that support and cushion your feet,
the unique construction of MBT challenges your sole, and the
muscles used to form your posture, to be more active.
This reactive, more supportive muscle action increases shock
absorption for joints and discs.
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 lengthens and strengthens your whole body while
standing, walking or in gentle running.
The function of MBT is similar to that of balancing a ball
under the foot
Increased input-response makes it easier for the musculature
to react adequately. After ground contact there is a rolling
movement, starting from a negative heel position (1). This
creates a pre-stretch of the calf muscles. The straightening
of the body, the balancing on the mid-foot (2) and the pull-through
of the step to the back (3) initiates a rotation, which follows
through the whole body. This results in an active and natural
posture and gait.
