    It would be good to point out not to wear lotion of course, unless your suicidal. 😉

    Well if you think about it…once on heels 4 to 6" then a 5'4 is now 5'8" or 5'10" and then when one spins and arms are extended over the head, that would be another foot of your body's extension.

    In my calculations that is approx 6'8" to 6'10" spinning around the pole and so, for poles to be 7 feet apart is satisfactory  but not ideal or excellent.

    I learned this at my PFIC course and it stuck with me.

    It stuck with me because there is no safety standardization in pole fitness/ pole space for safetry.

    I am mentioning it because at a workshop the studio had 10 or 12 poles and my fractured foot was freshly heeled and someone behind me was wearing heals and we spun and of cours connected on the exact bone that was freshly healed. It caused me to have a bruise to the area but not a re-fracture.  Then Iimped for a few days and still did my 12hrs shifts.

    Some of these studios is just about business and money and to cram as many as they can in their square footage.

    The thing is that legally poles should be 7' apart minimum and most of them are not. This is dangerous when it's not . Studios also needs "to consider tall body types as they do embrace the fat ones or thicker or voluptuous ones" Sorry as there is not other way to describe it.

    Studios want to cram in as many poles in square footage.

    I didn't until I had a shoulder injury, but not so much anymore.

    What I do have is a hip clicking sound and this is due to post having kids and depending what angle.

    I am sorry that I am no help to you.

    Where is your shoulder clicking sound and how often and what are you doing?

    You may consider water therapy/ exercise in the next little while. Everything is gonna hurt for awhile but don't forget to practice you deep breathing and exhalation as well.
