Activator poles are an adaptation of Nordic Walking poles and have been developed by Canadian therapists to promote balance and improve mobility. Activator Walking is particularly good for people with balance concerns or mobility issues. Activator Walking helps balance, posture and gait; enhances core and muscle strength; reduces impact on your joints and helps to reduce falls. They are suitable for all, including people with arthritis, an acquired brain injury, or people with Parkinson’s disease. Kilkenny Recreation & Sports Partnership have trained several exercise professionals in Kilkenny to deliver the programme to groups.
