@neowalksticks: Hope this helps ✨ In all seriousness, don’t let headlines make you question whether you need to use a walking stick - or any mobility aid for that matter. Mobility aids do NOT have an age limit ‼️ Put quite simply: if it helps you, it helps you. There’s no need to justify your why to anyone ❤️ #DisabilityTikTok #DisabilityTok #MobilityAids #WalkingStick #DisabilityAwareness
As a PT, I truly cannot tell you how many young women we see who buy their own mobility aids off Amazon and use them without an actual need for them, which weakens muscles and creates an actual reliance on aids that were never actually necessary. Many people DO need mobility aids and brands like this that reduce stigma are fantastic. However, please, please only use them when prescribed and as prescribed by a medical professional. Self-diagnosis of mobility issues is an actual trend we’re seeing and it’s dangerous. The rise of conservativism often corresponds with a rise in distrust of medical experts

I feel like millennial women and older were conditioned to accept being in pain daily and take lots of pain killers and just try and carry on as normal rather than using walking aids Gen z women said f**k that I need a walking aid.

It sucks because I had an injury that causes severe pain flare ups, like chronic shin splints. When it happens, I can’t bear any weight on my leg. I’m limping or bed bound. I WOULD benefit from a mobility aid. But I WONT use anything cause of fakers

Any time anyone doubts the usefulness of me using a cane, including self doubt, I love the statistic that the number of times I’ve fallen without a cane are sky high but the number of times I’ve fallen WITH a cane is zero

I’m not confident enough to use a mobility aide yet. I’ve been struggling with what we think is dysautonomia and I have RA (was diagnosed when I was 6) but when I get to that point I have 2 picked out I want from your company! I just have to get over the mental hurdles 😣

because its a social contagion that then reinforces itself by causing muscle atrophy.
