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!

Took a little getting used to after regular forearm crutches, but now I am very comfortable using them. They relieve some of the stress on my hands as my forearms take on the pressure. The fit is perfect. Very pleased.
Having spent weeks at a time on crutches of all kinds, the jolt from having them hit the ground are not only jarring, but painful as well. These actually not only decrease the jolting, but they're really nice at maintaining their place where you put them, without it feeling unbalanced or like they're sliding. Highly recommend.
There was a little hiccup with the cuff size when I ordered, but the customer service was so fast and kind. A cuff swap went in for me right away and I got the right size cuffs so quickly!
The fit is now truly perfect. I'm so elated to have my smart crutches!
I feel like I am free to go about my life again, and I've been taking walks everyday now that I feel more stable. Thank you!
I had been using trekking poles to walk around my neighborhood but I found them rough on my hypermobile wrists and elbows. I found these while researching options. Shipping was quick and I’ve found them fairly easy to adjust. I had stopped going places where I had to walk or stand for a long time because it was painful, but last weekend I went to dinner and a movie with friends and then I spent a few hours at museums a couple days later! I already feel like the price was worth it because I’m able to get out and feel a little more normal again.
solid, confidence-building, definitely good in wet conditions
They are bigger than normal tips and take a slight adjustment to get used to but are really solid. I lost a leg so use forearm crutches with my full weight, and many tips I have tried are 'squishy'. Some are also a really small diamteter and require a better balance. These are solid, definitely not squishy and have been really good on mutiple surfaces in the past 2 weeks, dirt, turf, grass, concrete; all felt really solid and secure.
