John - You’ve mentioned trekking poles before but I haven’t prioritized exploring. You bring up an excellent point about posture. I HATE seeing myself in store windows passing by with my walker, or cane. It’s actually more work and discomfort on arms and upper back using walker and cane as well. I need to try the poles. I can just envision, if able to use, that a higher up grip on trekking poles vs the low ones of canes and walkers would allow me to walk with head and back straight & upright instead of curved. I find myself having to stand upright and stretch my lower back so much anyway. Do you find that trekking poles help your lower back? Thanks, Deb
