Walking poles help by providing extra points of contact with the ground, improving your stability and balance. This can be especially useful for individuals recovering from injuries or surgeries, as it reduces the risk of falls.

Walking poles can be beneficial in the recovery process and as part of an exercise routine

Trek and Nordic grips are traditionally used and offer great benefits. However, York Nordic’s patented Motivator grip is designed to provide additional stability when pinching the thumb grip on the side or reduce stress on the hands and wrists when pinching from the top. All can help in the rehab process. -
Walking is widely used in the recovery process and adding walking poles can provide a significant benefit.
Introducing the Motivator Pole
Our newest pole has patented contoured grips provide two contoured thumb support positions which stabilizes the trapeziometacarpal joint and reduces strain on CMC thumb joint, providing further health benefits from your walking. The unique grip and pole combo provide additional balance and stability making them ideal for rehab!
"I'm a long time York Nordic pole user that was looking for a more supportive grip for rehab post surgery. I really like the grip and how it offers two thumb positions, much more comfortable for my arthritis to have my thumb in the pinch position on top. I went with the lightning bolts :)" Brian S.

About Us
Lauren DeLong is the owner of York Nordic and a certified Nordic Walking instructor. Lauren’s passion for Nordic Walking began when her mother had hip replacement surgery and the surgeon recommended Nordic Walking as a way for her mother to maintain balance while strengthening her hip during recovery. She teaches Nordic Walking throughout New England including the beaches of York and Ogunquit.
Lauren decided to design and manufacture her own poles after finding most poles lacked quality, style, and key features for different age groups. The poles are sold nationally and have been used in classes and health studies throughout the US. She is excited to share her passion for this sport with you.
We offer 12 pole designs with a choice of 4 types of grips. All poles ship free within the Continental US. Please contact support@yorknordic.com or call or text 800.930.5928 with any questions.
