If you are able to find MAT specialist to attend in your area would probably the ideal best solution in terms of time and outcome for type of athletic trauma you have and how quickly you want to return to your usual performance.
Keep in mind acupuncture is a technique that will block the nerves pathway thru which you experienced feeling of pain in your area but healing will have take time on it’s own.
MAT sciences specialist has a knowledge of how to reactivate muscles and ligaments in your body to switch it to correct physical process of the movement of affected area even after one session. Usually after a day or two you are good to come back to your usual practice. No TB will be needed.
And if you compare the cost it’s most economical at the end. -
Wow Kate
You are doing fantastic! -
I started my pole journey 18 months ago.
I came from ballroom and latin. Also do a lot of yoga. Always hated gym. I used to watch a lot of pole stars and I remember one time I asked my husband: ” Do you mind if I join a pole studio instead of gym?” He supported me on that. I moved fast due to being in a great shape but injured myself quiet quickly by overdoing and not having a proper instruction at the beginning. My injuries made me realize how important conditioning is and also seeking a proper instruction when learning. U-tube and star tricks are not reliable material for starters. So when I came to VS I realized this is the place to learn and share your progress. I stopped watching stars for a while.
And please Don’t take me wrong on this. Watching pole stars and big competitions was all very inspiring… at the beginning, but kind of faded for me. Now I just watch for technical part.
What I really enjoy watching is “real people”… all talented beautiful ladies whoever post their creativity here. And that what I find very inspiring because as it reflective on my learning and practice also seems to be more achievable and doable after I watch someone do it here and work on my staff. Or if i see also choreo tastefully done it encourages to work and create mine own.
Haven’t posted any routine yet but it’s coming… soon -
Yes
Aradia listed this one as a beginner must. Spiral into ballerina.
Im sceptical on how this is a beginner material as well but… some kids can do it from the first try.
It is a reverse grab, split grip from behind depends how stretched you are and how you catch the momentum, but slow motion requires to push away from the pole forward so that lower hand is your big help…. I wish i would’ve known then what I know now… I was doing this spin right before I started to invert. And because I was practising a lot my spiral with different variation along with inverts somehow I thought inversions affected my shoulder but all it was is this spin that was introduced too soon to me. That’s how I found this site and when I purchased my lessons and saw Veena’s order and explanation for these particular moves I completely stopped doing it until I healed and became stronger. It is a beautiful spin but you have to be strong and flexible in your shoulders. -
Honestly I love all Veena’s outfits. The way she wears them and carries herself.
And in terms of age sensitive pole clothes are very generic. What matters is the size and quality of the material how it stretches. I usually stay away from shorts and tops that cut into my lines.
The last thing I need when trying to create beautiful lines and stay one with pole and floor is a sausage look. I do shop even at VS and Pink their sport line and make sure nothing is tight but clings to my skin safe enough for any action -
Try Under Armour brand. Mine last and so far and fit like second skin.

I trying to be more creative here.
As everything else that I do in life I adapted it into a form creative enjoyment. Yes it is a form of sport and good exercise and Im grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it but thinking on a deeper level it is a DANCE.
A form of a very creative movement that takes a certain place in your home, in a club, for some may be kids playground, in general in your life… it caries certain style, mood, energy, tells a story… emotions. Sometimes when I paint just take a break and dance and it is totally unrelated to my current thought or what i do but in fact it recharges me and inspires to paint better. And it is not a distress technique it actually benefits me like I would sink into a pose in yoga and have this transformational blissful moment. -
Absolutely
I actually leave some moves that I can’t do perfectly for 1-2 months then come back to them and get better results. But I never miss a day of yoga no matter how sick or wick Im.
Im actually thinking about doing Calisthenics for 2-3 months and then come back to new moves on pole -
Sorry to hear about it Dino
may be you already did and if not ask your MD to do Doppler test to check the blood flow and tissue perfusion. Are you discussing it with only one orthopaedic surgeon? May be look for a second opinion on diagnosis and treatment before consider surgery because it’s not common for polers. -

Now that you mention it I have to say I did inquire with a number of doctors including family physician and sports medicine doctor about use of acupuncture in my case and decided not to go ahead with it. I’m a pharmacist myself and it is very obvious for me which treatment or course is more appropriate, same with meds.
Acupuncture will block the pain via nerve passages and will reset pain receptors level which will be tolerable or non-existent for sometime. It doesn’t change the nature of your injury and doesn’t prevent it from reoccurring. In athletic sense the use of it is limited.
I chose MAT because the specialist was able to identify the root of the problem, corrected and secure it from reoccurring, also enhanced the muscle function at the same time. So it’s not a temporary fix and gets you back where you left. I was able to assess it as the most efficient and economical. Unless it is a bone fracture or rupture of a muscle, MAT is a deal for active people with sports injuries because of it anatomical and practical knowledge and application
As for diagnostic methodology I prefer verification by X-rays, ultrasound, lab tests and thorough med check by MD as a conformation on any pulse reading, iridology, palm reading, etc. Im trained in Homeopathy, Naturopathy and Nutrition as well. So Im familiar with methods, remedies and preventative medicine as a whole. Each case is different and we have to resort to our best options out there avoiding mistakes and high costs -

IMHO
here is a good place to start
but if you like the style of russian male polers you will have to cross train in Calisthenics which is also a good way to start. -
Whoever works on you do not let them crack or pop anything, especially your neck, it’s more damage than a cure. My MAT specialist doesn’t do anything like that. 3 weeks before I seen him I went to massage therapist and he decided to crack my neck. I didn’t feel good at all and had severe headaches after that. I went to chiro same thing, electrical modalities, ultrasound and cracking. The results were very very poor.
MAT specialist that I found knows 750 muscles in your body and 350 bones. He works by charts and activates muscles that are responsible for your injury. It was like seeing egyptian anatomist from BCE.
I didn’t even have to tell him where is the problem. He finds it by touch. He works with circus performers, gymnasts, acrobats, hockey players. His focus is to make your body functional or sometimes hyperfunctional if there is a need in a short period of time. If he cant work with trauma, or feels it’s not gonna respond to his approach, he will tell honestly right away instead of playing God doctor as all of these quacks I’ve gone to especially chinese medicine doctor. -

I was 2 times only.
It was my back from Allergra. I was taking my time to heel but would go back to inverting and pain would be right back and third time I felt really broken. Like I was thinking about not even touching pole anymore.
After first appointment my back pain was completely gone. Im taking it slow now coming back to my routine, because I’m scared. Second appointment I had he was working to strengthen my left side (from the neck, shoulder,mid back and lower back) and Im stronger now. I want to have some more sessions with MAT specialist because he doesn’t waste my time and money -
Thank you again Greyeys
MAT works!!!!! -
Very well said Tesar.
Respect
Carry yourself proudly ladies
