I’ve taught people with Parkinson’s, MS, TKR, PF, PN, balance issues, etc. My suggestion is to get the DVD (available on my website: AdventureBuddies. NET). For $14.95 you can learn everything you need about using poles optimally. Then, after watching, feel free to contact me directly via my website and I’ll be happy to answer your specific questions. Happy Hiking and Good Luck!
I have chronic ankle instability, do you have other clients who hike with my condition?
Very well done. Great information and I learned a few things. This video has been added to the Econo Challenge collection. Thank you for making it and posting such a well done video!
They are good for not falling down mountains.
Thanks for your comment. Please be sure to check the website in a month or so. I’m doing lots of updates and will post them there, Happy Trails!
Great introduction to poles. After several months practicing the techniques on the DVD, I finally feel like I am using the poles correctly.
The DVD is essential to learning how to use poles correctly. I also thought I knew how to use them, that it was intuitive. It isn’t. There is a range of very subtle skills that call for training the muscles to do things in a very precise way. Once such muscle memory is attained, you greatly improve your hiking efficiency and safeguard your joints. Thanks to Jayah for allowing the masses to have access to a wonderful tool!
Sounds great for folks with balance issues. I’ll check the website. Parkinson’s PT
Sounds good for Parkinson’s patients. I’ll inquire at website. Thanks for a great idea!
Have AdventureBuddies DVD, thought I knew how to use poles. Learned how to get more power, really save my knees and stop using the “Death Grip” – they know their stuff! Got DVD at REI, best $15 I ever spent.
