Nordic Walking and Urban Poling

I have been so excited about the benefits of urban poling and nordic walking exercises this past year. Urban Poling is a product that was developed by an occupational therapist to support safety, mobility and fitness for her clients. I have seen urban poles benefit fitness enthusiasts looking to burn more calories and improve core engagement when walking, to those with decreased stability due to stroke and Parkinson's.

Even if you are in great shape, urban poles can provide stability and decrease stress on your joints when you are out for a long walk or hiking over uneven terrain. These poles allowed my 80 year old mom to keep up with a group of hikers in their 40s and early 50s!

If you are interested in trying out Urban Poling for free, I have a lender pair at Lone Star Healing Arts & Fitness that you can try out at your home for a week, to see if it is a good fit for you. In addition, we offer personal training and manual therapy services to support you in feeling your best.
