Urban Poling
“Urban Poles” were created by Mandy Shintani, a Canadian Occupational Therapist, to improve upon Europe’s popular Nordic Walking poles. She designed a thumb friendly platform and refined the standard rubber tips to allow persons of varying abilities to participate in the popular sport of Nordic Walking. Bell shaped tips provide balance and stability for neurologically challenged and post surgical patients while a boot shaped tip promotes a rapid, more intense workout. Urban Poles are an incredible fitness tool. Proven to protect joints, activate the core, decrease fall risk, and burn more calories than walking without poles.
