Free body MOTs from MBT footwear
Mike | Add a comment! Tomorrow, from 9.30am until 6.00pm, the makers of those funky-soled shoes (MBT footwear - Masai Barefoot Technology) that are designed to do great things for posture, pain, and general well-being are giving away free posture, gait, respiratory and blood pressure tests. You just have to turn up and get it done.
If you go to the centre (opposite the Hippodrome, 25th Nov) you should see them there, eager to help you understand what’s going in from your toes to the top of your head via everything in-between and, to be honest I guess, seeing if they can recommend a pair of their shoes.
The basic principle is that being on a less stable footing is more natural and ultimately beneficial, which is where the Masai come in. Apparently the ground is kinda unpredictable where they live, and MBT helps to provide us with the best of natural ground conditions. I’ve only ever seen them in pictures, so one of our Bloggers will be heading down to check it out and let us know how it went. But of course, with a free analysis on offer, you should try for yourself.
If you go, please come back and post your comments here. If you have any of these shoes, we’d also love to read your comments.
