If you have MS and are using a cane or a single trekking pole BUT were never taught HOW to use it.... this is for YOU 👊!

You'll often know if you're using a cane wrong because either:
👉 You'll still feel off balance when walking
👉 You'll have neck, shoulder, elbow, or wrist pain

And the unfortunate thing about that is that BOTH those things often cause you to be more sedentary and lose more strength & mobility 👎… who needs that on TOP of having MS?!

So let's fix that 💯!

Here's 3 tips to make sure you're using your cane correctly:

1️⃣ Your cane should be wrist height - the handle should be the same height as your wrist bone

2️⃣ Hold your cane on the OPPOSITE side of your weak leg

3️⃣ Make sure you move the cane forward at the same time as your strong leg

These steps SHOULD help you feel more stable & balanced while walking!

If for some reason they don't, then do whatever helps you feel SAFEST!

I'm curious... were you ever taught how to use a mobility aid 🤔? Or were you just told you should use one? Comment below ⬇️!!
