Sharing Some Feedback on the Motivator Grip Multiple Thumb Positions
When we introduced the Motivator grip last Summer, one of the key features we highlighted was having two thumb positions. Each position provides ergonomic advantages – one gives you a stable hold and balance while the other reduces stress on hands and wrists and improves proprioception and stability.
While that is just one feature that makes the grip one-of-a-kind, we are extremely pleased by the amount of feedback we’ve received on having the option of either position, depending on need during a walk. In fact, one reviewer pointed out that they actually alternate thumb positions during a walk purely to help with arthritis.
We could not be happier with the response and that so many find the Motivator grip so beneficial. Thank you all for the support and the feedback, and remember…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!
