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!

Very happy with the crutch although the additional padding provided for the forearm cuff does not stick very well even with using the 3m tape. I used doubles side tape. Hope it works.
I'm 6'5" with big hands and also have RA and some upper back arthritis. First, these poles are an instantly more comfortable for walking than using a cane! It's easy to keep my head and back upright and the stability of the poles is really great. They weight about 5 ounces more than standard poles, and I definitely feel more stable while I'm using them. The push button height adjustment is very easy to use, too. The palm cradle gives an extra level of comfort while in use. I'm absolutely sold on these poles, and if you're over 6'4" and/or have very large hands, you'll need to try these out. You'll be impressed, too.
With EDS I had no idea how badly regular forearm crutches would hurt my wrists and hands. These are all I can use with both knees doing poorly and I’m so happy they exist. Thank you!! The space pattern is awesome taboot.
