Medical professionals around the world recommend the use of MBT shoes for the treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of:

* back, hip, leg and foot problems
* joint, muscle ligament and tendon injuries

Back problems, especially, are helped thanks to MBTs loosening up muscle tension, and general improved muscle condition. This allows the body to return to its natural state of health and encourage its natural healing abilities.

MBT shoes were originally developed as a medical training device and is licensed in the EU as a Class 1 medical product. Back pains can be reduced through muscle strengthening.

Many Tai Chi, Pilates and Yoga instructors love and recommend MBTs (just ask over at www.mastertaichi.com or www.ultimatecalm.com).

They have also been successfully used by people to get themselves back into alignment and exercise.

If you are seeing a medical practitioner, please ensure you get their "consent", and let them know before you get your MBTs. This is simply professional courtesy as they may have other considersations about your therapy or need to adabpt what they are recommending. Also the results you get will no longer just be from their therapies.
