This is a specialised 1:1 Support Beginner Taster with particular focus for walkers recovering from injury or surgery or those with joint disease, Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinsons.

These sessions are led by Emma a doctor with 20 years medical experience and a fully qualified Nordic walking instructor.

This Beginner Taster is an introductory Session to INWA Nordic walking for fitness and well-being tailored to your individual needs.

In this Taster you will learn how to use the poles correctly, building up your walk and technique at a pace that is right for you providing you with a foundation for INWA Nordic Walking.

“Discovering Nordic Walking under Emma’s helpful, watchful eye was SO helpful. I had been struggling to maintain my walking because of hip pain, but learnt so much about how to walk in a way that supported my hip and that I could incorporate into my general walking. Thank you!” Sarah Bartlett

Sessions are delivered in a friendly and supportive way with a focus on your individual requirements. At Nordic4 we always have an individual approach with our walkers and it is important to us that we talk to walkers prior to meeting them so that we can assess their ability and their individual goals.

Emma teaches walkers with a range of medical conditions, but with a particular focus on specialised areas outlined in the description below.
Thereafter, we recommend our Specialised 1:1 Support Beginner Follow up courses: 1:1 Support Beginner Follow up Course.

Poles are provided for this taster session.
