Activator poles are an excellent new tool for improving balance, posture and walking tolerance!

I have MS and purchased your poles when I couldn’t take a walk longer than 20 mins. I recently returned from a trip to Europe where I was able to walk for hours on end! I enjoyed city tours, castle tours, and mountain hiking! The poles gave me the extra balance I needed and not having to work so hard to walk or climb, gave me endurance! Thank you
