She just said that bending my lower back is why I have punched nerves and that I should avoid bending my lower back to avoid the nerve pinching worse. Every time I would do any back stretching, I would be crippled and at the doctor the next day and it would hurt for weeks just from doing camel stretches and such. She just said we are all different and I can not bend like that without making my condition worse. Good to know because I have been injuring myself trying so hard and wondering why I would never progress and get worse every time.

This is me on the xpole silicon pole at the Arnold sports festival. I love it and am getting one.

For me personally, I would be using it to open my upper back since my lower back is where the issue is. My chiropractor says that there is a natural curve in my lower back and that is why I get the pinched nerve, so I should not try to get more bend in that area because it just crushed my nerves. Working on my upper back would help even what bend I have out.

I want a ball as well. Just laying on one helps my back feel way better. I have ben told by chiropractors that most stretches that normal people can do with no pain are actually bad for my back and the shape and that is why I have been getting hurt and no progress for years. I have tried since I started poling to get a more flexible back, but then I get injured and have to stop. It has been a viscious cycle.

Things like a back bend hurt and my shoulders are so bad that I can’t stay in one. Then my back hurts for days. I have a long torso and pinches nerves in my lower back and stretching for back bends pinches those nerves more I have been told. I love foam rolling though. I just got a Rumble Roller too and it doesn’t hurt, so i bet I would be ok.

I have been in both and I am getting the xpole. It is smaller and softer.

Let us know if you get results from that. I am ordering a yoga wheel. All stretches hurt me because I have back problems and I want to see if the wheel helps painlessly.

Rib injuries are the most common in pole and can cause the whole side to hurt. Inverting can strain muscles too though especially from going up and then coming down uncontrolled like that. These injuries can take a while to heal as well. Just rest up and do not invert for a while. If you have a foam roller, I would do that to the back very gently and take lots of bubble baths. I hurt myself training Jallegra and I know that these injuries in that area take a while to feel better. Make sure you take care and keep us updated.
