Another good thing to use is King of Shaves it's in the mens section at woolworths, you can also get it in chemists (in Oz) but I guess it works like the lube but its a shave gel (don't use the menthol variety, tried that, not a good feeling) but it really does help prevent shaving rash, since I've used it I rarely if ever have a problem regardless which way I shave! x

There was some "pole dancing" in one of the new Dexter series too, you know the kind you get in strip clubs!!! Pretty lame x

It sounds similar to what I have, thought it was serious and it's been really bothering me thinking what if I can't do pole etc etc, so went to physio yesterday and he said because of what we do we need to make sure we increase strength and flexibility in the shoulder and I must have tried doing something just a little too much and now it's sore. I can still do stuff (not the move I did obviously because I don't want to make it worse) but it aches lots the next day, put an ice pack on it after training for 20 mins, have to allow the inflammation to settle but use it wisely and try various shoulder stretching and flexi exercises and strength with light weight, he got me to do the sit flat back against the wall with arms up at 90 degrees to see if I can get my wrists on wall (I can't) to increase shoulder flexi, also working specificically on one of the small rotator muscles by doing the elite swim team plank lean and push away from wall very hard can't do it with left arm (sore shoulder) can barely do it with right, but they get the swimmers to do it! Must listen to body really important not to over do it! x

Thanks for the input folks, it really is appreciated. I think I've gone to hell and back since it happened, feeling so bad despite being an accident! I was advised that she originally tried to claim towards cost of injury from studio owner and as the imdemity insurers said she didn't have to do that so now student is sueing on the grounds of poles being too close together. I have been booted on a couple of occasions whilst learning new moves and have seen others do the same and no one has ever pursued it. It does concern because it's like opening a can of worms, if she succeeds then will everyone else do it? Student has now signed up to the second highlest level routine which IMO has the hardest tricks/routine involved, so what if she gets injured again – be it self inflicted or from another student? This bothers me considerably. I love pole and can't imagine life without it, but if she succeeds in her claim I know the owner can't financially cover a pay out or changing the 22 poles we have, it would have such a massive negative effect that I think it would cause the studio to close. I am sure waiver was done with a lawyer but the way things are these days in this litigious society I doubt stands for bugger all ……. lawyers have their jobs to do and win the craziest of cases. Anyway thanks again I will keep you updated as and when I get news…. xx
