Getting Back Into Poling
I have to take a break from poling due to a car accident which happend March 2010. I'm wanting to get back into it, but apparently I have a loose rotator cuff (according to my physiotherapist). The MRI that was done on my shoulder doesn't show any issues (it does feel looser to me).
Anyway, I was taking classes before the car accident. Unfortunately, due to finances, I can't take them now. At the time of the accident, I was still learning (ie just started to learn how to climb, but had already learned how to do the basic invert).
Between my shoulder issue and not being able to pole since the accident, what's a good way to get back into poling? Thanks 🙂

Stay away from static spins! I suggest talking to your physiotherapist about pole and maybe showing them some clips of what pole dancers do so they understand what is involved. Then ask them what kinds of exercises they could give you to condition your shoulder. Starting up with Strength training for the pole will be very important. Learning to properly hold the scapula when climbing, inverting and spinning will be very important so your not hanging off the arm. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif
