Our Community and rehabilitation training courses focus on a simplified total body fitness walking technique, for the easier learning journey continued engagement and instant feeling of achievement for each participant. Pioneered by our team here at NWUK/WALX it can be adapted for all cohorts and encourages almost immediate uptake, minimising the customer concerns of “I can’t get this technique”.
Having delivered to hundreds of community groups, physios and charities we know this approach is more suited to those with health or balance issues and reduces the risk of falls which can be exacerbated when participants are strapped to the poles.
Clinical teams report improving treatment outcomes for balance, core strength, posture, endurance and reduced impact on lower extremities and joints. Plus promotion of functional gait patterns
Our team have delivered training for Parkinson’s UK and over 200 NHS or community based teams as well as independent clinics. See HERE for examples
