I agree with Phoenix that Tite Grip is amazing. For me it works better than dry hands as I still sweat and slide with it.
But I’ve never tried the combination Phoenix recommended, will do it on my next pole class 🙂

What you feel is completely normal.

Now that I think about it, I had SO much pain when trying the pole sit, it felt much just as you described. Also the first time I tried to hold on with my legs after a pole climb. I felt I was dying!

But suddenly, some classes later, bang! It disappeared!!! It was crazy how it just suddenly went away! It also happened when trying the superman, one day I didn’t feel any pain.

So just take it easy because it is completely normal and the more you try, the quickest it will go away.

I’m actually more concerned about the lack of strength which doesn’t seem to increase on me after 7 months….but pain certainly goes, don’t worry 🙂

Hi Louise,

Yes, I’ve heard that’s a common problem with students! In my case, I did this only a couple of times, so I think the problem was lifting myself.

Finally, after one month of rest and physio, I’m back to pole with simple positions and spins. I’m terrified of even trying inverts again! I will wait until my wedding is over and then I’ll get Veena’s lessons 🙂

Thank you for your help!!

Thank you SO much to all of your for your Messages and advises, you are wonderful Girls!!!

The pain in my ribs have ceased a bit, but I still have strong pain in my back. I went to a physio today, and she told me I have very hard muscles on my back, so apparently, there’s nothing broken.

I think I had the wrong technique when inverting, I was not engaging my right parts, and I was doing all the strength with my back, I guess it’s not secret why I hurt myself….

The Problem is that during my pole classes, I was advanced to the intermediate level too fast (around my 4th class) and I’m naturally so anxious I always Need to be a bit ahead. And here I am! 🙂

Right now, as you say, I will rest and Keep on going to the physio. And watching your Videos and wishing I was able to touch my pole again…buaaah! 🙁

Thank you so much for your great advices Girls…it is very much appreciated.

Thank you so much for your useful advises!!

I totally understand what you mean about pain in your ribs, I also have pain in my ribs, but in front just under my boob. I even thought I had broken a rib or something!

I intended to get Veena’s classes, but in my condition, I cannot even do spins without pain starting to kill me again…

I will wait a bit longer until the pain leaves and I will try to postpone any invert until I feel I’m completely ready and strong enough.

Thank you so much for your help!
