You have my sympathies with all of this – in 2009 I was diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disorder, and the Consultant I saw tried to make me feel better by saying ‘it’s very common in Women of your age’ oh man, I’m not a violent Lady however if I had had pole strength back then… 😉 anyways, prior to diagnosis I was doing lots of high impact work at the gym, forgetting about the core which all came to a head after a car accident Compounded the damage I had been doing to my spine (I couldnt walk more than a few steps for 6 months without a cane) as Veena has recommended for you to consider, I had to rethink my fitness schedule completely. I bought a pilates reformer which has a trampoline at one end for low impact cardio (aero pilates) and quit the high impact classes. I never thought I would walk without a cane again if I’m honest, however with hard work and determination I built my core strength up and got better slowly – will never be able to go back to high impact again, however pilates and pole gives me the core strength ….
So, what I’m trying to say in a long winded way, is if it’s hurting, my advice would be to stop and rethink things before you get into the state I did by ignoring aches, pains and twinges – our bodies are amazing and have a way of making sure we listen to them in the end … I’ve since retrained as a Remedial Massage Therapist, incorporating Reflexology & Aromatherapy so it’s my job to help people who are heading down the same road as I did (extremely rewarding) I would also suggest that you try Reflexology as it’s amazing at helping the body heal from the inside out, including joints and bones 😊hope that helps and you feel better soon, Kate x

A productive day then! Enjoy – Monday’s and Tuesday’s are my days off as I work weekends, so I can’t say the same here, definately a lazy day nosing around your amazing site and doing some pole work 😊am a tad excited as I’m an Aromatherapist specialising in Deep Tissue Massage, however tomorrow afternoon I AM RECEIVING A MASSAGE! Sorry for shouting – it’s been a long long time, and is much needed 😊😊😊the best bit is the therapist is coming to me and using my treatment room so I can roll off the couch and head straight to bed …. So, no doubt you have many many people to reply to so won’t take up more of your time and shall return to talking to the cats being a crazy cat lady and all … Look forward to sharing progress with you as I go along and no doubt asking questions – soooooo glad I subscribed! Enjoy your afternoon and hope you get some quiet time too x

Thank you so much Veena, I have been poling for around 18 months and have recently signed up for a year – your videos have already helped me hugely on more than one nemesis move and I’m loving the structure of the first 30 days to go back to basics, a very big Yeay! Any tips on moving the rest days around a bit to incorporate my once a week studio class please? Many thanks, Kate
