MBST® (Magnetic Resonance Therapy) is a pain-free, non-invasive treatment that helps your body repair itself from the inside out — by stimulating the regeneration of bone, cartilage, and soft tissue.
At Physio Fitness, we use MBST as part of a wider plan to help you get back to doing what you love. Whether you’re living with arthritis, recovering from surgery, managing osteoporosis, or dealing with long-term joint pain — MBST could be the missing piece in your recovery journey.
What MBST Can Help With
Gym-based rehab tailored to your body, your goals, and your recovery — always as part of your treatment plan.
MBST is tissue-specific — which means we tailor the treatment to the type of structure that needs healing: cartilage, bone, or soft tissue.
Science That Supports Regeneration
How MBST Works
MBST is based on the same core principles as MRI — but instead of creating an image, it uses targeted magnetic fields to stimulate cells into repair and regeneration.
It’s completely painless, relaxing, and safe — no needles, no heat, and no downtime. Just you, lying down for an hour while the machine does its work.
Want to know the science?
While you rest, MBST delivers low-level electromagnetic energy to the damaged tissue. This energy influences the molecules inside your cells — stimulating metabolism, improving oxygen use, and reactivating the body’s natural repair processes.
Over time, this can help rebuild cartilage, strengthen bone, reduce inflammation, and ease pain — without medication or surgery.
Note:
MBST is not yet recommended by NICE in the UK, largely due to the need for larger-scale trials. But it’s been used successfully in Germany for over 20 years, with thousands of patients treated worldwide.
What Treatment Involves
What Does a Course of MBST Look Like?
Each course of MBST involves daily 1-hour sessions for a set number of days:
- 9 sessions – typically for arthritis, bone density, spinal issues, and post-surgery recovery
- 7 sessions – sometimes used for soft tissue healing or a maintenance top-up
- 5 sessions – in some cases, used to reinforce the results of earlier treatment<
We’ll always guide you. You don’t need to choose a package — your therapist will recommend the best plan for your condition after your Discovery Visit.
Why MBST at Physio Fitness?
We Don’t Just Offer MBST — We Make It Work
MBST is powerful. But on its own, it’s just a tool.
That’s why we always combine it with expert hands-on physiotherapy, targeted rehab, and personalised support — to make sure you get the best possible results.
We also:
- Carefully select the right tissue type to treat (cartilage, bone, soft tissue)
- Combine MBST with other therapies like Laser or Shockwave where appropriate
- Support your whole journey, from assessment to full recovery
MBST at Physio Fitness is never a standalone shortcut — it’s part of a complete, effective plan to help you feel and function better, long-term.
