April is all about Parkinson’s education and we’re committed to spreading awareness on the important role of exercise for those living with Parkinson’s disease.

Parkinson’s disease affects 10 million people worldwide and is a lifelong neurological disorder that affects the area of the brain that controls mobility and no two people share the same experience because of the range of symptoms and severity. A common symptom is difficulty walking and that’s where Activator poles can help.

Dynamic mobility tools, such as the Activator poles offer an effective but low impact cardiovascular workout and enhance motor function, improve gait, balance, and overall quality of life for those living with Parkinson’s. They can also be used in both standing and seated positions, depending on the progression of the disease. Active living with Parkinson’s is not only possible but easy and accessible as our poles are always ready to provide additional support.

Please join us for an informative Parkinson’s Disease Webinar on Implementing Activator poles in Education Programs and Rural Communities on:
