Who can benefit from using SideStix™?
Anyone who wants to walk further, hike longer and move easier with less pain and fatigue. From participating in everyday activities to supporting cardiovascular fitness levels or even scaling mountain peaks, SideStix™ are designed for anyone who refuses to place limitations on what they enjoy doing.

I am not disabled, but I experience joint pain and discomfort. Can SideStix™ help me?
Absolutely. Many of our customers use SideStix™ as a walking aid to help take the weight off their lower limbs, enabling them to walk longer and farther without the nagging joint pain they would typically experience when being out.

What is the difference between Boundless and Discovery?
Boundless is our top of the line model and comes with our patent pending SideStix™ Shock Absorbing System to help remove the bumps and jolts typically experienced by users of forearm crutches on every stride they take. Discovery is identical to Boundless except it doesn’t have the shock absorbers, making them the lightest SideStix™ we’ve ever built. This model is ideal for those wanting a high quality, super lightweight adaptive device. Generally used for walking shorter distances, Discovery is great for shopping, working in the garden or enjoying a day at the beach.

What’s the difference between SideStix™ and regular forearm crutches?
SideStix™ are the first and only performance enhancing mobility devices that feature a number of researched innovations to prevent the fatigue and injury associated with long-term use from other crutches. From our ergonomic design and patent pending shock absorbing system that has been scientifically proven to reduce joint pain and compression, to our rotating / articulating Revolution Tip Assembly with attachable Grip Caps for use on any terrain, SideStix™ are your best choice when wanting to go farther with less effort and fatigue. In fact, we defy you to call them crutches!

Will my insurance cover the cost of my SideStix™?
Almost all extended insurance providers cover some or all of the cost. Please refer to our Warranty & Insurance Coverage for specific information.

What is the weight capacity for a pair of SideStix™?
