Walking poles

I like the poles but I only use the left one as a cane. I like to have my right hand free to carry things. I did get a blister on my left hand from the rubber handle. I used my cane with a foam support for a week for my hand to heal.

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.

Try them now, “because movement is life”.
