Let's take a moment to focus on a specific benefit for arthritis sufferers that use walking poles - Improved walking mechanics
As sufferers know, arthritis can sometimes lead to poor posture and balance issues. Walking poles can help individuals maintain proper alignment and balance, reducing the risk of further joint damage. Further, walking poles can promote a more natural and symmetrical gait, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals with arthritis. They encourage a more upright posture and help to distribute the effort more evenly between the upper and lower body.
Customer feedback consistently tells us that sufferers that have tried walking poles are more likely to turn walking into a beneficial and healthy routine that would otherwise be a significant challenge. Cheers to that...Let's Get Out There!

This product has made a genuine difference for me. I was able to explore Greece climbing hills amd wandering ruins because of this crutch. I can 100% say I wouldn’t have been able to if I didn’t have my crutch with me. I love these so much. I didnt know how bad I needed them until I had them. Worth the investment.
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!
