Where to by Urban and Activator® Poles
Partnership:
I opened Zoomers Physiotherapy and Health Solutions in 2018 in the hopes of bringing a sports medicine approach to adult health and wellness. As a physiotherapist, I believe my role is to be a resource for clients to build comfort, confidence and competence in movement. When I came across the training content about the poles available from Urban Poling, I knew I had found tools that many of my clients would find beneficial. Many clients have benefitted from training with the Nordic-Style poles to increase the fitness benefits of their walking programs. The Activators have also given so many of our clients more independence, ability and comfort. We have seen success with the joint off-loading benefits of the Activators for clients with conditions like hip and knee osteoarthritis. Additionally, the stability provided by the Activator poles has helped our clients with conditions like Parkinson’s Disease walk more safely and with better control. Our clinicians and clients love the poles! They are definitely helping us help our clients live the life they love!
