Case History

To gain an accurate picture of your specific problem, we will first build up a detailed history of any past medical history. To put your issue into perspective, you will then be asked questions on your health and lifestyle, allowing us to know the circumstances within which your symptoms may have began to occur.

Examination

This part of your appointment is carried out with maximum privacy and care. We may need you to practice a series of gentle movements, with simple reflex and blood pressure checks if necessary.

Diagnosis

Before beginning any treatment, we will make a full diagnosis, which will be fully and accurately explained to you. We’ll let you know how many treatments we expect you’ll need, and make sure you fully understand all processes involved.

Treatment

In this final stage, we’ll aim to ease pain, tension and stiffness, with our manual therapy techniques. We’ll not only aim to relieve any immediate pain, but also work on the underlying causes, to prevent the problem from occurring in the future.

The key to MBT is the revolutionary, curved sole construction. The interplay of the patented shank, the PU midsole, and the Masai Sensor creates natural instability which normally is only experienced when walking barefoot on soft, uneven ground. This natural instability can activate the body’s supporting muscle system and has positive effects on the entire body. More than 10 years of research have gone into developing this revolutionary design.

Research shows that MBTs can help to:

Improve posture and gait

Relieve neck and lower back pain

Exercise a large group of muscles including legs, buttocks and abdominals

Tone the body and aid weight loss

Reduce stress on back, hip and knee joints

Improve ankle joint stability and balance

Flatter broad shoes are best for your feet and back

Good footwear should have a support across the front of your ankle to help hold the shoe on

High heels (especially stillettos) should be avoided – these are less stable and may cause injury. High heels also alter the natural curve of your spine

Shoes should have a soft sole for cushioning and shock absorption
