167: A Conversation About Urban Poling And The Many Ways It Can Help Your Neuro Clients
We’re doing something a little different on today’s show! Are you using poles with your neuro clients? Using poles can be a great way for your clients to get a full body workout, increase intensity during therapeutic activities, navigate difficult terrain, improve arm swing, assist with balance, and improve gait. But not all poles are created equal, so we needed to learn more! We invited 2 of our Sparkies (aka NeuroSpark members) to the show to have a genuine conversation about Urban Poling so we could all learn more! Han Ngyuen, PT, DPT, NCS, owner of Neubility Rehab in Florida reached out to us wanting to learn more about Urban Poling. We decided the best thing to do was to invite her and Joy Cochran, PT, DPT, CEEAA owner of JOY Explorations in Wisconsin and master trainer for Urban Poling to the I Love Neuro podcast so we could record the conversation so everyone could learn more! In the show you’ll learn the difference between Activator Poles and other poles, the benefits of using poles, how to use them (for fitness, as an assistive device, etc), who should use poles, ideas for balance, freezing of gait, and fitness and more!
