Urban Poling Inc. Makes Walking Poles Accessible for Health Spending Accounts

Urban Poling Inc., a prominent name in mobility solutions, recently made headlines by announcing that its celebrated Urban and Activator® walking poles are now eligible for reimbursement through Health Spending Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). This milestone not only broadens access to such innovative products but also emphasizes the company's commitment to promoting healthier lifestyles for all.

Improved Mobility and Wellness Benefits

Walking is embraced as one of the simplest yet most effective forms of exercise. Urban Poling’s poles enhance this experience, offering users much more than just a walking aid. By integrating the poles into walking routines, users can substantially boost their workout effectiveness. Research indicates that the use of walking poles can increase calorie burn by 20% to 46%, depending on the speed of the walk. This enhanced calorie expenditure offers a motivating factor for those looking to improve their health, especially as we step into a new year.

Evidence-Based Benefits from HSA and FSA Eligibility

One of the pivotal factors going forward with Urban Poling’s news is the proven health benefits that come from using these poles. A significant multi-year study carried out by the Canadian Heart Institute has revealed that the use of walking poles is superior for improving functional capacity compared to many other forms of vigorous exercise, including high-intensity interval training.

A physical therapist from the Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Outpatient Center Cambridge, Andrea Christoforou, notes that traditional walking utilizes about 50% to 70% of muscle groups, but with Urban Poling walking poles, users can engage up to 80% to 90%. This fuller engagement not only optimizes workout efficiency but also facilitates longer strides, which can effectively reduce the risk of falls—a common concern among older adults.

Reducing Joint Stress and Enhancing Stability

Another remarkable benefit of using Urban Poling’s sticks is the load-distributing mechanism they offer. Each step taken with poles allows for better distribution of weight, resulting in less stress on the joints, particularly for hips and knees. As a result, these poles serve not only to improve mobility but also to protect users from potential joint-related issues, paving the way for a smoother and safer exercise experience.

Join the Movement Towards Better Health

Urban Poling Inc. takes pride in seeing their Activator® poles be recognized as “game-changers” for thousands globally. Thanks to their innovative and patented design, these poles increase core engagement, provide off-loading from painful joints, and support overall balance and strength. As individuals consider options for advancing their mobility and healthcare management, there has never been a more opportune moment to take the proactive step towards improved health—both physically and financially, given the accessibility through HSA or FSA reimbursements.

As we look forward in this new year, Urban Poling encourages everyone to step confidently into wellness.
