    Had someone ask me this the other day. I have no idea if it’s been done or if its possible. But she was interested in taking up poling, I said I’d check into it. Any ideas?

    I also have a friend in a chair, and I've thought this same thing for her. 

    Would be interesting if anyone had any ideas – I'm completely uncreative when it comes to things like this. I think it would depend where the level of disability lies..

    I'm sorry, I don't have any idea really but I just wanted to say it's an interesting topic.

    I guess it would depend on what kind of mobility they had. I would think spin mode would be good and would allow the person to have a little momentum for spins and they could pull themselves up into holds. If they had some use of their legs they could possibly do sits and plank variations. But if they could stand then Static would be the best option.

    I'm having trouble finding the youtube video, but I know I've seen one of a pole dancer with only one leg.  Watching something like that might give you ideas on what to do with someone with lower body limitations.
