Description
Introducing WALX Xcelerator walking poles designed for rehabilitation. Our UK based Expert Team crafted these two part adjustable poles to accelerate recovery by providing stability and without compromising comfort.
Excitingly the NEW WALX Xcelerator poles feature the WALX Ergo Grip ™ strategically angled at 15 degrees for optimal wrist support during propulsion. The grips are offset at 12° to mimic your natural hand position, ensuring maximum comfort.
The Xcelerator Walking Poles for rehabilitation come with left and right-hand grips, a WALX stability rubber paw.
We have looked at every aspect of pole use and also designed an optional clip on wrist loop. It is not there for support, as the Ergo Grip handles, negate the requirement of a supporting strap. They are made of a lightweight, soft material, designed to allow you hands to be free in daily tasks such as using a cashpoint, wanting to get a tissue out or accidentally dropping the pole, yet; still have control of the poles. The really important factor, unlike any other pole in the World, the Strap is designed to break away to prevent injury, should the user fall.
Adjustment
Enjoy easy adjustment, ranging from 87cm to 125cm, thanks to the robust twist lock system that can withstand over 100kg of downward pressure. Unlike push button or quick lock systems our twist lock is both user friendly and durable.

Background
The WALX education Team have over 100 years of combined skill and knowledge of delivering fitness and rehabilitation programmes. They have spent the past 14 years creating walking programmes for the clinical arena. They have trained thousands of Physiotherapists and Occupational therapists to deliver the WALX Programmes
After 16 years of creating innovative walking programmes to over 1/2 million people in the UK, the WALX Clinical Team decided it was time to develop the perfect pole handle. The ergonomic design not only supports the entire hand, it fits perfectly for all sizes. The handles have not only been designed in the UK, they are manufactured in the UK.
Reducing Carbon Footprint:
We were also acutely aware that nearly all the walking poles sold in the UK were being shipped from China and Taiwan. With the knowledge we now have regarding climate change and carbon footprint, we decided we should be manufacturing as close the UK as possible. The poles themselves are made of the highest grade of 7075 alloy that is used in aircraft industry. The seamless tubing is used for maximum strength so when your weight is transferred through the poles. They not only absorb the impact but return back to shape as you lift the pole.
We have worked in partnership on this project with Fizan in Italy. Fizan have been designing and making walking poles for over 80 years and are supplying the pole sections from one of the only alloy manufacturers left in Europe and not far from their factory. We would prefer to be using UK based manufacturers but at least they are only travelling hundreds of miles, not tens of thousands of miles.
