"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." (Albert Einstein)
"You think of all the things we do to stay healthy, all the things we spend our money on and time thw can we get fit and healthy and the Scandinavians are primarily just walking." (Mandy Shintani)
Today, I am delighted to be able to introduce Mandy Shintani,
founder and developer of Urban Poling to discuss how Urban Poling
may be used to keep us moving, whether for rehabilitation or for
simply enhancing mobility and fitness. Mandy has been an
occupational therapist for 35 years and is a gerontologist. Sixteen
years ago. using her skills as an OT, she developed the evidence
based, FDA registered, Activator Poles and technique, specifically
for rehabilitation. Mandy is an international conference speaker on
walking poles for fitness and rehabilitation. Over 8000 therapists
and wellness professionals worldwide have completed the courses
that she developed. She was a finalist for the prestigious YWCA
Women of Distinction entrepreneur and innovation award.
I first met Mandy almost a decade ago when I was introduced to the
Activator Poles to aid in my rehabilitation from spinal
surgery.
We discuss howe the power of walking for fitness and health is
enhanced by the upper body workout one gets by using the poles, and
the innovative safety changes to the structure of the poles. We
also discuss Mandy's entrepreneurial initiative to promote Urban
Poling internationally.
