Nordic walking – walking withnordic poles is easy to acquire at any age.
Hardly any other sport activity has such positive effect on one’s health as nordic walking. It is good for people of all ages. One can walk with nordic poles anywhere – in the street, forest trails or rural roads.

A good way to master nordic walking is to come to the rehabilitation centre Ligatne where along with other rehabilitation procedures physiotherapists teach their clients to acquire this active low-impact outdoor activity.
Picturesque locality of the rehabilitation centre offers numerous groomed trails where you can do the nordic walking alone or together with friends and get back those good long-forgotten feelings (sensations) without straining yourself, since in nordic walking everyone is guided by one’s own well-being.

- During nordic walking 600 muscles are evenly employed, which is 90% of all body muscles.
- Nordic walking is a mild, low-impact way to resume physical activity for those people who have not been engaged in sport activities for a long time.
- Nordic walking is especially recommended to those who suffer from joint or back pains, because in this type of walking joints get less impact – 30% less than during regular walking, since the body weight does not entirely sit on one’s legs but is distributed to arms, too.

Learning nordic walking is free for every client of the centre Ligatne.
