Hi Patrick - Keep up the good work in Australia! Nordic Walking is the best!
More physios are discovering Nordic Walking everyday - typically from clients that have outstanding testimonies regarding their success walking with Nordic Walking Poles. Using the correct length poles has hugely helped folks with shin splints, runner's knee, other knee issues, hip issues, back issues (including metal rods) cancer recovery and stroke recovery.
For safety reasons we only recommend durable one-piece poles custom fit to each individual's height. We do
NOT recommend twist-locking adjustable/telescoping/collapsible poles for folks with balance issues - including MS, Parkinson’s and Neuropathy.
Perfect length poles help us to automatically walk with a super straight back - better walking posture is biomechanically a good thing. This improved walking posture when combined with the unique 4-Wheel-Drive type action of walking with poles radically reduces the stress to the shins, knees, hips and back. Nordic Walking is low impact and yet provides a highly effective workout - burning more calories and working more muscle groups than regular walking.
Once we know how tall an individual is we select the perfect length poles and back it up with a Perfect Length Guarantee.
