Hallsworth Pole — with Postage (UK mainland)

One piece of wood.

A solid timber pole for stretching, posture and balance — something to hold, something to reach with, something to steady yourself against. It works standing, sat in an ordinary kitchen chair, or lying on the floor, so it suits people at very different stages.

• 1.72m long (5ft 8in), 38mm, about 1.5kg• Solid natural timber — one piece, no joints• Ends rounded by hand and rubber-stopped• Hand-varnished, left lightly grippy so it does not slide in the hands

No telescopic section to seize, no screw thread to work loose, no plastic collar to split. Warm in the hand, and the same object in ten years as the day it arrives. Made one at a time in Stockport.

Comes with the free illustrated guide — 27 exercises across standing balance, spine, hips and floor work — in the box.

Posted: sent well-wrapped and tracked to UK mainland, out within two working days of payment. Collecting from Stockport is £40 if you are nearby — posting a six-foot parcel adds about £25.
