Activator® and Urban Poles have been adopted as an evidence-based therapy, mobility and fitness tool by more than 20,000 graduates of our accredited training programs including diverse healthcare professionals, fitness instructors, and trainers. Under the guidance of health and wellness professionals, Activator® poles are revolutionizing mobility and rehabilitation when prescribed extensively across health care as a potentially effective alternative to canes and to reduce the use of crutches and walkers. Anyone considering transitioning from a walker, crutches or cane to ACTIVATOR® poles is encouraged to consult a physician or physical therapist. Safety and professional guidance should always come first.
Urban Poling provides opportunities for continuing education whether you are a user, fitness instructor, or a clinical wellness provider.
