These ACTIVATOR® poles should be called Confidence Poles.
I love them, they give me a sense of balance and security.
I have the confidence to go into an airport, go for hike, or a longer walk with my family. I can say YES!”
“The Urban and Activator® poles were a hit at our
Parkinson’s retreats. I continue to show the
Activators® at our PWR!® Clinician trainings and we
love them in our PWR!® Gym sessions.”
“Within minutes and with guidance, Harry integrated the use of the
Activator® poles into his gait. His cadence was steady and coordinated.
His risk of falls is diminished as his base of support has increased. His
postural asymmetry is decreased allowing him an increased visual eld.
The positive outcomes were immediate, I could go on. Harry was able to
adapt readily and the positive outcomes were immediate.”
