MBST® therapy

‍The MBST® system is composed of the MBST® therapy devices and indication-specific MBST® therapy cards. The therapy card is selected according to a medical diagnosis.

Patient-specific treatment data is stored on the MBST® therapy card and then transferred to the control module. The card simply has to be inserted into the therapy device. The patient is asked to remove their shoes and is positioned comfortably in the treatment field, then the therapy session is started. Most patients bring a book, listen to music, or just take a nap during the hour of stress-free treatment.  

The MBST® therapy device establishes magnetic resonance conditions with the tissue to be treated and initiates the targeted energy transmission using the MBST® therapy sequence.  

‍The duration of the course depends on the diagnosis and the severity of the condition.  Each therapy session lasts for 60 minutes and a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 9 therapy sessions per treatment block are recommended.

Aftercare is a vital step in the journey to a successful recovery, so we make sure you receive full support from our physiotherapist throughout the entire process. Upon completing your MBST® treatment you will need to attend 3 post-therapy review sessions so that we can be fully satisfied that you’re on the right road to recovery.  These are included in the package price. We recommend post-treatment assessments at the end of treatment, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks, depending on the outcome.
‍
In order to get the full and desired effect from your MBST® treatment, it is vital that you keep drinking plenty of water on a daily basis for 6 weeks. It is also important that you do NOT place any unnecessary strain on the treated area for 10 weeks after therapy, but do keep it as mobile as possible and follow any advice that we have given you, such as the patient specific exercises. Natural active movements at home and at work will help to gradually reduce stiffness, strengthen the muscles and give you back your confidence.

Please follow our physiotherapy instructions:
It is an important part of the healing process to strengthen the muscles around the joints and spinal areas, so please perform the exercises assigned to you.

Recovery Can Take up to 10 Weeks:
Please be patient with the healing process. MBST® works at a cellular level and every person’s progress is different. If your body responds slower than expected, don’t lose hope, you’re already well on your way.  

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition so no treatment, including MBST® therapy, can 100% guarantee full recovery.  While we do expect to excite the healing process there may be several reasons for future degeneration, such as lifestyle, genetics, past injury, diet, too little or not enough exercise. Fortunately, many of these factors are within your control, so to get the most out of your therapy you should strive for a healthy and active lifestyle.

No, although you can only begin a course of MBST® once a condition has been diagnosed and the appropriate treatment recommended.  A diagnosis can be obtained directly from At The Core by making an appointment with our physiotherapist.

We will also accept a referral from a doctor or a consultant but you will still need an assessment from At The Core in order to assess a suitable course of therapy.   Call 01225 461205 to make an appointment with our physiotherapist for a consultation.

There have been no reported side effects of MBST® therapy since it was first applied internationally in 1998.

Though there are different effect ranges for different conditions, for instance spinal disc pathologies can take up to 10 weeks to see consistent improvement, whilst osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are degenerative conditions and so takes time to be counteracted. Studies show in more than 80% of cases pain was significantly reduced after 3-5 sessions and patients reported associated improved mobility.

After MBST® has been undertaken, additional MBST® should not be necessary unless a new injury is sustained or pathology discovered, in which case the therapy can be repeated any number of times. The healing process continues beyond the conclusion of the treatment and patient data shows that significant pain reduction could be verified years after the therapy. Patient data from the treatment of osteoporosis shows a significant increase in bone density one year after treatment. While MBST treatment can be repeated any number of times, and some patients do undertake top ups 6 months or a year later, the need for top ups is uncommon.

MBST® therapy requires no drugs, painkillers, injections, intravenous infusions or medication of any kind. Your own GP will advise you on whether or not they consider medication a necessity in your individual case.

I’m delighted to see this exciting new technology made available in Bath through the good work of Paul and his team. MBST® has already been shown to produce significant improvements in pain and activity in patients treated in centres throughout Europe. Used in conjunction with a rehabilitation programme it can get patients back to sport when surgery or medication has little to offer.

The effectiveness and tolerability of the therapy when applied to many diseases and complaints of the musculoskeletal system (and their associated discomforts and impairments) are confirmed by meaningful data from numerous studies, specialist publications and peer-reviewed journals. For a comprehensive list of publications, or to read the full peer-reviewed journals and other published studies, please email info@thecore.health.

Active implants such as pacemakers, defibrillation (ICDs) and pain or insulin pumps require an individual assessment by a physician before suitability for MBST® therapy can be confirmed. At The Core will supply patients with technical information relating to MBST® therapy, however due to GDPR legislation, patients with active implants must obtain their own written confirmation for suitability of treatment from their independent medical practitioner. At The Core clinics require sight of written consent from the patient’s medical practitioner, prior to booking a course of MBST® treatment. 

Breast implants, contraceptive implants and prosthetics are regarded safe in connection with MBST® therapy, in the same way that they are compatible with an MRI scanner.  At The Core physiotherapists always advise that you consult a medical expert ahead of booking treatment and in the case of non-active implants and prosthetics, written consent may be requested prior to booking a course of MBST® treatment.

At The Core clinics use the most up to date MBST® technology in delivering MBST® magnetic resonance therapy.  The Arthro Spin Flex and Arthro Spin Lift devices generate an optimal magnetic resonance field of very high treatment quality compared with lower generation devices.  Additionally, the Arthro range of MBST® devices are designed for use in nerve, post-surgical and would treatments.
