Walking stick

Walking sticks have been used for centuries to help people maintain their balance, independence and dignity. This specially designed cane is made out of strong iron with a light weight plastic handle so it's easy enough even if you're not physically capable anymore or just need something small enough that can fit in your purse. 

Walking sticks help people maintain their balance, walk with more confidence and help relieve tension on joints and bones. A properly fitted walking stick can help even the most able-bodied adult achieve maximum health and well being.
