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!

I have severe scoliosis and these poles are so comfortable and supportive - they really help me keep moving! I have used regular trekking poles in the past, but I would get hand fatigue and sometimes even numbness in my hands. I have used a cane in the past, but I would get both hand and shoulder pain with a cane. The York Nordic Motivator poles have solved both of these issues. I highly recommend them. I also strongly recommend getting a FlexTip base with a spring as for the added shock absorption and a longer life for the tips - the typical rubber tips don't last long if you walk a lot. Thank you for developing these poles!
As a disabled person who still works full time, this crutch just isn’t for me. I need the cuff/platform to move easily on a swivel so I can use that arm to do my job. I work in healthcare (clinic) and even the simplest actions such as turning on lights as I enter an exam room or doing a quick test on a patient require me to completely reset the platform. I’m sure there are people who this type of setup works well for, it’s just not for my own situation. I wish I had realized that before I ordered.
