The Activator For Senior Living
Are you struggling to walk?
Watch our video and see how the Activator has helped our customers gain confidence and build muscle to help them walk with proper gait.
In the UK at least 40% of working age adults have a mobility issue and that figure jumps to nearly 70% for those of pension age.
Problems associated with Senior Living
Old age often brings about a natural decline in mobility, impacting various aspects of an individual’s daily life. Issues often relate to changes in our muscle mass, bone density, joint flexibility, and overall physical fitness.
Additionally, neurological changes play a role in age-related mobility restrictions. The nervous system undergoes alterations, affecting coordination, balance, and reaction times. This can increase the risk of falls and impact the confidence of older individuals in engaging in activities that involve movement.
- Reduced mobility
- Poor balance
- Higher risk of falls
- Declining muscle strength
- Progressive stiffness in joints
- Growing incidence of Arthritis
- Declining health
- Growing isolation and inability to socialise

It’s Not A Walking Pole — It’s A Rehab Pole
You can and will walk with it, but calling the Activator a walking pole is like calling a Hospital a building, or a Doctor a person. It does not begin to explain the unique properties, special abilities and importantly the health outcomes and results that you can only get with the Activator.
Our Poles are uniquely designed by body movement and rehabilitation experts, they do so much more than a pair of walking poles.
If you are using crutches, walking sticks, walking frames or rollators — you will find the Activator Poles, when used with our supplied expert instruction and guidance, will provide you with a much improved upright posture and an ability to walk with a more normal walking (or “gait”) rhythm.

Beginners Video Course
Who is it for? It is suitable for everyone. Starting with people who are struggling even to stand and balance, right up to those people who can almost walk unaided. Even people who can walk unaided still gain benefits from the Activator Poles and our courses.
Our video courses, created by movement experts, have full instruction and demonstration of each carefully selected exercise. Exercises progress slowly to build your confidence and abilities in using the Activator Poles.
Typically a video course will last for approx. 30 minutes, but can be viewed section by section or to any duration you prefer. Our video courses can be viewed via your smart phone, tablet, laptop, computer and some smart TVs, making it possible to practice your own rehab at anytime, anywhere in the comfort of your own home.
Why seated exercises
Our seated exercises are designed specifically for those who are struggling to stand or have had periods of inactivity, and wish to develop strength, confidence and balance necessary to move freely and safely again.
Seated workouts are safe, with no risk of falls and are convenient as they can be done from your own armchair or sofa. Once you have learnt the exercise movements you can even practice these whilst watching your favourite TV programmes, improving your mobility and health during your leisure time!
The more able Activator pole users can choose to skip this section, but they may still find benefits in doing our seated exercises.
Why standing exercises
Standing exercises are the essential starting point for safe and good walking movement with the Activator Poles. Our exercises will assist in retraining your balance, building up your muscle strength and importantly develop your coordination skills required for safe and enjoyable walking movement.
Exercises gradually progress through all key body movements from simple to more complex, allowing you an easy learning process to become a master of your poles. The Standing exercises will allow you to then progress to using our “Activator Technique” walking system for safe, controlled, well balanced natural movement.
