Arthritis Awareness Month
Arthritis Awareness Month:
Empowering Movement with Activator Poles
September is dedicated to raising awareness about arthritis—a condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Although it can impact people of all ages, it’s more common in older adults. Did you know that arthritis it is the number one cause of disability in the USA, affecting more than 54,000,000 people of which 300,000 are children? Together with our partner, the Arthritis Foundation and their Ease-of-Use program, we’re on a joint mission to reduce pain and make everyday living tasks a little easier for those living with arthritis.
Maintaining an active lifestyle is crucial for managing arthritis symptoms but It’s not always easy to find a form of physical activity to include in a daily exercise routine because of joint pain, stiffness, swelling, discomfort and tiredness. That’s why we’re so proud that our Activator poles are Ease-of-Use approved and are making walking, a bit easier and a little less painful. Unlike regular walking poles, Activator poles are ergonomically designed to reduce joint strain, improve posture, and enhance balance. They are particularly beneficial for people with arthritis, as they provide additional stability and support during walking.
Here are some of their distinct features: strapless, ergonomic CoreGrip handles with wide ledge to better support your wrist, secure push button locking system (easier than twist locking system for arthritic hands), 3 anti-vibration features for bell-shaped tips for stability.
Arthritis Awareness Month:
- Reduced Joint Impact: Activator Poles help distribute weight more evenly across the body, reducing the load on painful joints, especially in the hips, knees, and ankles.
- Improved Posture and Stability: By encouraging a more upright posture, Activator Poles help alleviate stress on the spine and reduce the risk of falls, a common concern for people with arthritis.
- Increased Mobility: Regular use of Activator Poles can lead to greater mobility, allowing individuals to walk longer distances with less discomfort and greater confidence.
- Enhanced Muscle Strength: Walking with Activator Poles engages the upper body, which can help strengthen muscles and improve overall endurance, contributing to better joint health.
