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.
