Motivator Walking Poles Featured by Consumer Reports
York Nordic is thrilled to share that our Motivator Walking Poles are highlighted by Consumer Reports in the feature, "Get Around Town More Easily".
The feature provides tips and tools to help navigate life's everyday tasks that require getting around! Walking poles are rightly highlighted for their ability to help distribute body weight more evenly and for the support they provide, particularly on uneven surfaces. The Motivator's height-adjustability and ergonomic grip are specifically called out, which could not be more spot on, and it is noted that poles can improve posture by engaging the upper body and encouraging one to stand up straight.
We are pleased to see Motivator Walking Poles benefits recognized and encourage you to read the entire article. Let's Get Out There!

York Nordic provided the best, thoughtful customer service I have ever encountered. I had purchased the wrong grip poles, so I emailed York Nordic, asking for advice. Lauren immediately sent me new poles while I returned and was credited for the originals.
I have used Smart Crutches for about 10 years now. They are great for limited weight bearing or if you’re like me and can’t bear weight on wrists and hands so the weight is instead shifted to the forearm which helps tremendously for chronic/long-term use! Would love to have more frame color options but it’s nice getting to decorate the cuffs!
These walking poles are exceptional. After spine surgery, and then some complications, these walking poles are a godsend. Using them encourages me to be mindful of my posture and more confident with balance while building endurance. I particularly like the contoured hand rests that enhance my comfort while gaining my stride.
I think these are incredibly comfortable! My forearm sizing fell at 9.1, and I wish I’d sized down (7.5 to 9) rather than selecting the 9.1-10 option, since it fits slightly too big and rides closer to my elbows than I would have liked! Overall pretty happy, though!
