The MBT Academy is the institution responsible for:

MBT Academy is an international cooperative of experts in the medical and fitness professions and senior level members of the MBT team. Our Clinical Advisory Group provides medical input to the academy. Our aim is to maximise the benefits of wearing MBT shoes through ongoing research, education and support.
Function & Services
Research: We are promoting research into the biomechanics of walking, running and exercise using MBT's and clinical trials to determine the efficacy of the shoes as part of the treatment for a variety of medical conditions.
Education: We teach all suppliers of MBT shoes how to instruct in the basic technique of MBT walking. We offer seminars for dealers, trainers, therapists and medical professionals in the form of a continuing education programme. MBT Exercise classes and walking groups are forming around Australia. Details will be posted shortly to the website.
Support: If you have any queries as to whether MBT's are the right shoes for you or whether they might be beneficial for a specific medical condition, or if you are having problems adjusting to using the MBT's, please contact us.
