DST is used by top athletic clubs who use MBTs for training and rehabilitation


After use and training in DST by Joshua Isaac Smith on several occasions over the last 12 months, Jason Palmer, the Head physiotherapist of Fulham Football Club is happy to endorse MBT footwear in the treatment and rehabilitation of a variety of complaints .

He has used the MBT's for a number of the senior players, where he feels the MBT's through their design have assisted some of his players recovery from injury.

"The biomechanical design of the footwear through the rolling foot action they encourage, has helped relieve the stress to various foot structures, and this has helped some of our players recover faster from their injury".

He also believes that the MBT's have a lot to offer for fit and healthy individuals of all levels of fitness, when used correctly. Especially with the DST system of exercises and movements.

London WASPS Endorse MBT

After months of rigorous medical testing the 2004 Heineken Cup (Rugby Union) Champions London WASPS have agreed to endorse MBT. They have found that MBT has significant implications for player's training, rehabilitation and injury prevention. According to the team's latest newsletter "MBT has improved the player's co-ordination, proprioception, and has been instrumental in the recovery of some injured players".

At the same time injury risk is reduced with improved muscle training. The game is so physical players need a shoe that will be easy on their bodies off the field. Instead of repeated shocks and compressions these shoes produce a gentle active rolling action with each stride. WASPS believe MBT makes an important contribution to their team's health and fitness.

This is further proof of the effectiveness of the MBT as a serious training tool. Unlike most conventional shoes that only support and cushion the feet, the MBT® Sole challenges the core strengthening muscles to become more active. This reactive, more supportive muscle action creates good posture and because the foot rolls forward and no longer falls abrasively during the heel strike, the body absorbs significantly less shock than in ordinary footwear and is therefore subject to less stress and musculo-skeletal compression. WASP'S newsletter said "...we want to protect their players wherever we can and have found that MBTs play an important role in injury prevention and rehabilitation."

As an elite sport team WASPS have found that MBTs aid recovery, correct posture and gait, make the body work harder and simultaneously help it to return to its natural state of health.

MASAI WALKING IN SUNDAY TIMES

Masai Walking was mentioned in The Sunday Times in a notice about exercise classes in MBTs, and has created quite a stir.

Now is the time to consider walking/running classes in MBTs, and being trained in Dynamic Stability Training walking and running techniques.
