Avoid more pain: How to Walk with A Cane the RIGHT WAY

One of the biggest mistakes I see as a physical therapist involves how to walk with a cane. Many people aren't told how to do it and can end up in more pain or with more difficulty. Carex cane: https://amzn.to/3Yj5GGy The most important aspects to look at when looking at how to walk with a cane correctly is to look at the SIZE and the HAND PLACEMENT. Walking with a cane that is too short or too high can lead to joint pain and more stress to the shoulders. If you use the cane in the wrong hand, you may feel unbalanced and could be at risk for a fall. A cane can be very helpful if you are experiencing arthritis pain, have had a recent surgery, or are requiring more support when walking.
