So Lite Glide

Traditional walkers simply aren't designed well. If you've ever watched someone

 

shuffling(拖着脚走) along, bent over an old-fashioned standard walker, the advantages of a So Lite Glide quickly become obvious. The Glide helps you walk the way you've always walked: Upright rather than bent over, facing ahead rather than looking down. This is a safer walk, one that allows better visibility, encourages personal pride and seriously reduces backache. With the Glide upright walker, you’ ll feel better about yourself.

Features:

So many of its features focus on safety, including always-accessible and lockable handbrakes, reflectors(后视镜) and the already-noted increased visibility.

The comfortable armrests, and the greater width that allows the user to actually step in and participate more fully in the walk, are easily adjusted to user size and preference. There's10 inches of height adjustment from 34.75” to 44.75”, allowing for a larger range of adjustment than many other upright walkers can offer.

Ease of use is another essential, of course. That's why there's an easy and convenient one-button height control adjustment to attain the height you need—— nothing to remove. The sit-to-stand handles make standing up easier after you've been seated and resting. There's a one-touch leg that folds for easy transport and storage.

A. Soft armrests and wider room. B. Safe handbrakes and reflectors.

Recently someone asked me whether there is a song that has changed me. As a music therapist, I work with songs every day. Music is a powerful tool for helping people manage emotional pain, and I have shared many songs with those who are suffering. The one that stands out most is Let It Be.

I use the Beatles’ songs more than almost anything else. Their music is emotionally layered and timeless, giving voice to feelings people cannot easily put into words—— joy,loss, fear and hope. That makes their songs a perfect vehicle for emotional expression and for anyone reflecting on life and death.

Two years ago I finally saw Paul McCartney live. Toward the end of the concert he sat down at the piano and sang Let It Be. Everyone around me was singing and smiling.Suddenly a wave of
