Bruising

orilay started this discussion · 3/21/2014

I'm new to your site, so I'm not sure if this is the "chat" you just mentioned on FB. I was wondering about bruising. I bruise VERY easily and wondered if it is normal and if it's okay. I'm sure it will get better as I learn proper technique, but sometimes I have to wait 3 or 4 days to try the same thing because of how badly it hurts! BTW- LOVE LOVE your site. You make pole look so easy, even though we ALL know that it isn't. I hope to be as elegant and fluid as you, some day! ;)

It is absolutely normal I suffer from bruising too. I usually rub ointments after a practice in which I think I will get some, and they actually help specially with the pain. My pole teacher says that once your body gets used to the friction with the pole, bruising will disappear; although I been practicing pole for 7 months and I still have bruises almost every class. But that doesn't stop me from practicing. Try the ointments and, good luck!!
