The Activator Walking Poles by Urban Poling are designed to aid balance and to take pressure off of your back and lower joints while you walk. Recommended by leading surgeons, physicians, and therapists, and designed by an occupational therapist and gerontologist, these Nordic walking poles shift weight from the hips and knees to the upper body, helping to reduce pain.
The Activator Walking Poles are thoughtfully designed and provide more support than standard trekking poles. Users with arthritis will find these unique Nordic walking poles feature a patented hand grip for better hand support and large bell tips for increased stability, and may also be beneficial before and after hip or knee replacement surgery. Recommended by leading healthcare professionals, surgeons, physicians, and therapists, the unique patented design enhances strengthening, stability, and offloading for increased safety. These high-quality trekking poles are beneficial for rehabilitation programs, older adults, pre or post-hip knee surgery, soft tissue injuries, Parkinson’s, stroke, MS, chronic pain, cancer rehab, and spinal conditions. The ergonomic grip is patented and designed for to improve core strengthening while providing greater comfort and supporting the wrist in a neutral position to reduce strain. The large ergonomic handle provides greater comfort, especially for those with arthritis or repetitive strain injuries. Instead of a wrist strap, the grip features a wide ledge for a more comfortable grip. The bell-shaped tips provide greater stability than boot-shaped tips. Hidden beneath the rubber boot tip of each pole is a sharp carbide steel tip, which provides increased stability on wet and uneven terrain, such as grass, trails, gravel, sand, and snow. Use the rubber bell-shaped tips indoors on dry sidewalks and asphalt. Remove the bell-shaped tip to expose the carbide steel tip. The carbide steel tip provides increased traction and stability under such conditions. The poles extend from 4 to 6 feet long and are collapsible for storage and travel.
