@cheffy You mention that you are not strong or flex… My question is how much stronger or flexier would you be if you did NOT pole, lol! Anything you do is “money in the bank”. You are improving your body little by little, even if you are not that aware of it.
Keep on polin’! 😀 -
Samsara, I DID ask my oncologist about poling… She thought it was great! 🙂 I am a former ice skater, and I had also asked her about returning to the ice, since my bone density had been altered. She loved it and thought the good far outweighed the bad. (Unfortunately there is no longer a rink near me.)
Although my lymphs are not totally removed, I do have to be careful. But since one of the treatments for lymphedema “is” exercise, I figure I’m heading it off at the pass!
Using spinny pole reminds me of my skating days and rejuvenates me, so even though I am taking it slowly like you, I feel I need to do this!
My only problem now is that my mind wants to do so much more than my upper body strength can agree with, lol! -
Hi, I am a survivor too. I am told that exercise prevents lymphedema, so I’m “all systems go” with the pole! Also, the chemo threw
me into an early menopause, so I have to watch my bone density. Again, pole is great cuz it’s weight bearing! The only thing I have noticed is that I get pain sometimes when the scar tissue tears a little as I am building back up my chest. I think it’s ok, though. -
-you’ve used your blow dryer on your pole…
-you love leg warmers…
-you’ve said the words, “Really, it’s not what you think.”
-you think you should own stock in Epsom salt companies…

Are they ok for pole, or is the buckle a problem? I new, so sorry if this is a dumb question!
