News; Mbt Shoes:Medical Benefits

Most feet problems are a result of inadequate neuromuscular activation.
Conventional shoes support and cushion normal feet movement, however, the movement-challenges are not met with the regular soles.



Therefore, nerves and muscles will stay in a passive state. This form of reduced exercise of nerve and muscle system might result in flat or saggy feet and an impractical feet movement. A number of traditional shoes also control feet movement in an unfavorable way. The common error is the phase of pronation occurs early. This will often result in failure loads in both the foot and ankle joints, but also have negative consequences for the strain in the knees and hips.

Pronation: In anatomy, pronation is a rotational movement of the forearm at the radioulnar joint, or of the foot at the subtalar and talocalcaneonavicular joints. For the foot, pronation will cause the sole of the foot to face more laterally than when standing in the anatomical position. Pronation is the opposite of supination.

How can MBT shoes reduce the damage of foot pain/injuries?

The MBTs sole is constructed to create a natural instability. The Masai Sensor is the most important component: The sole feels soft and instable. Our senses respond quickly to the unstable experience and the nerves activate muscles, which result in a much more stabile ankle and foot joint. One should strive to scroll through the Masai Sensor with greater pressure on the outer / lateral portion of the sensor. When one has rolled over the Masai Sensor, you will come to MBTs balance center known as the "the pivot point". "The pivot point" serves a small tipping point that maintains balance activation. You can feel the pivot point in the middle of your feet while standing. With a controlled motion trough the rolling movement created by the shoe you will make an dynamic load that work stimulating on the whole foot. With control over the rolling movement you will change your normal “pain” into more comfortable walking, because the stresses and strains on the foot will move from one area to a greater area. A more fine motor and slower muscle activity relieves the foot joints. You´ll make a more fine and relax the muscle activity that takes the pain away from the foot joints.
