kerr drugsKerr Drugs has lived up to their commitment to the community pharmacy concept.  The NextStep was created by a Parkinson’s patient for his own use.  They have taken on the walking aid and have it available to the retail public. The NextStep, the only walking aid that features a real retractable visual cue. For Parkinson’s Disease suffers affected by freezing, it really works.

I think my new ATC(all terrain cane) will be a rewarding addition

First there was the nextstep walking aid; then a walker for those times when you need a little more stability. Now there is an attachment for the NextStep that allows it to be used in sand.  I love to be at the beach and take pictures at sunrise. Recently I had found myself trapped at the sea shore, unable to move my feet. It was early in the morning and I just sat for about an hour until my family had got up for the day and could offer some assistance. This new attachment packs the sand under the plunger so that it does not stick down into the sand; allowing the NextStep ATC to perform like a NextStep performs on hard surfaces.
