Back Pain prevented Cheryl from being Active.. Until Poles!

Dear Sheri

I love my Walking Poles! I am now 53 years old and thanks to my Keenfit Walking sticks (which I’ve been using for over 4years now) I am as active as I used to be. I grew up very active and in Australia I was a National Net-Ball Champion in University. Several years ago, I ended up in a car accident that severely injured my back.. affecting everything I did – I couldn’t even go for a short walk without ending up suffering in extreme pain for days afterwards.

I’ll never forget the first time I took the Poles out on a walk, not only was I gone for over an hour, but I didn’t hurt at all!  Also, my husband and I like to go on hikes, before my accident we were doing some pretty major treks – but of course after the accident that all changed. My back was so bad that once I even had to be carried down a mountain trail and another time I don’t remember the whole event – I was drugged up so much on pain-killers :(.

But with the Poles – I don’t just walk, I enjoy long, hard hikes – & they help me keep my weight in check!  Now, I am always the first one to say “so where are we going next!”

Thank you,

Cheryl
