MBT fittings at Back in Action

There are four stages to OUR MBT fittings:

1. We listen to you! ... Unusual but in our stores it actually happens. Then we'll discuss any areas in which you would like your body to behave itself better ... tighten up your stomach, decrease back pain, feel more energetic. In this discussion we'll help you to identify whether MBTs are appropriate and how to maximise the effect by removing stressors such as poor daily posture.
2. We check your size/fit/style match. Don't laugh ... should always be the case but we constantly hear complaints that other stores leave size choice to the user. Getting it wrong is an expensive mistake so we believe you should let us advise. On arrival a skilled member of staff will assess your feet, check fit, observe your gait and posture and help you select the best style.
3. Walk and let us train you: We will get you walking back and forth while we make sure you know how to acclimatise and so we can answer your last questions.
4. We look at other ways to help (Optional) If we find that you have significant areas that need addressing to achieve your goal ... such as a one-sided spine when your aim is to remove back pain, we will gladly look at what else might help. Many people hire our Mobiliser to free up their spine and if they do this for three months we give them a full refund on their first pair of MBTs free.

Cost? Because of our skill our stores can often be very busy with several MBT fittings taking place and people waiting. We strongly recommend an appointment for a full fitting which is charged at £10 but is fully refundable against any item you purchase at Backinaction during next three months. Want to know more about why our stores are the best for fittings: This link will explain why.

Click the store of your choice below to reveal opening hours. We can fit at every store but our Amersham store does not hold stock to take away.

How long will it take? If you are in a hurry we can get it done in ten minutes, but please allow 20 to 30 minutes. As we say this process is important for your future comfort and chances are you will want to try lots of styles too!

NB If you don't have an appointment we will make you comfortable or give you a free massage in one of our wonderful chairs while you wait. Or try the Mobiliser?

I want to buy MBTs online

Gosh we could sell thousands a week online. But MBT do not allow any of their dealers to sell online. If you've seen them on-line please be aware of false copies.

So how can we help?

Either: we can supply you remotely once you’ve been fitted by an MBT trained expert. So you only need to visit us once and we can supply remotely as new styles come along, or if we have stock and others don’t but you’ve been fitted.

Or: There is another type of balance shoe that we do sell online and many of our customers choose this instead of, or as well as, MBTs. You can read about the alternatives here.

So to reiterate ... We love MBTs ... We want to sell them to you ... but we can only do this after a fitting / training session. Click here to read more

This is not just the Manufacturer's whim - there are strong reasons for receiving MBT training; the sizing needs to be very carefully measured, and you will need instruction in correct use.

We offer an exceptionally skilled and effective first training session at all our stores, and we hold stock to supply instantly at the stores below. Once you have received training, we can sell you MBTs remotely (eg by telephone)

Will MBTs help my back pain?

Probably... but from this distance we can't be certain that MBTs will help your particular condition. If you would like to provide more information here our experts can use this as a basis for further discussion. Back in Action staff include Chartered Physiotherapists, Alexander Teachers, Massage Therapists, Ergonomists and Fitness Instructors. MBT assessors are MBT trained and approved.

Back in Action are the UK's leading back pain specialists: Beating back pain is an everyday occurrence for us and we can be pretty certain that something at Back in Action will help you greatly. For example, many people hire a Mobiliser from us as part of their rehabilitation. You can get your MBTs free if you hire a Mobiliser for three months.

We'd suggest you visit us with an open mind... Experience our MBT assessment and fitting session and let us guide towards other possibilities if relevant. You can find out what an assessment contains by clicking here. If you haven't already done so, you might like to read about how MBTs work by clicking here.
