Normalize your client’s gait pattern to prevent shuffling which increases the risk for falls. Clients are excited about both the benefits and option of using ACTIVATOR poles instead of canes and as a tool to delay or reduce the use of walkers. Participants will learn the higher intensity Urban Poling/Nordic walking technique suitable for the early stages of Parkinson’s and the Activator technique for improved balance and stability. ACTIVATOR poles have been successfully implemented in individual, group as well as telehealth sessions!
