Wrists hurting when you walk? Try this game-changer...
Walking poles with palm support can make a big difference for your wrists when you’re out walking or hiking. Here’s why:
- Better weight distribution – Instead of your wrists carrying the brunt of the impact, walking poles spread the load across your arms, shoulders, and core.
- Natural wrist alignment – The palm support keeps your wrist in a neutral position, so tendons and ligaments aren’t strained.
- Engaged muscles – Using poles means your arms, shoulders, and core all join the workout. That extra push helps with balance, posture, and even tones your abs—all while staying low-impact.
- Shock absorption – Many poles include built-in shock systems that soften each step, especially helpful on rocky or uneven ground.
- Extra stability – More contact with the ground = fewer slips, twists, or jolts. Palm supports also help you maintain a steady grip.
All together, palm-supported poles reduce wrist strain, boost stability, and make walking more comfortable and efficient. The Motivator was designed with these benefits in mind—see how it can support your next walk! Let's Get Out There!
