i already filled out a copyright complaint with youtube. veena i suggest you do the same… click on help in the top right of your youtube page and then look for ‘copyright notices’. fill out the form…
some people just arent happy with themselves or thier own life so they feel the need to bash others…
You tube doesn’t respond to copyright complains….well at least not when I have tried before…So flagging it as HATE Webmaster says might work best. I will still fill out a copyright complaint though. -

I thought she did really well, her method of getting into the handspring was different. I had never seen anyone kind of a back bend into handspring before. Cool. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Sorry to hear about your injury sweetie! I had something similar about 1 1/2 years ago (and yes I was Poling). I went to a chiropractor, I had displacement of some vertebrae in the upper thoracic and lower cervical spine which caused the burning sensation you described as well as some pain/discomfort and tingling…not saying it’s the same thing but that’s what I found out…I also had tendinitis. After a few adjustments and some isometric exercises I was able to heal properly and slowly get back to lifting and poling. I had seen a GP prior to the chiro and he basically told me the same thing you were told…being a nurse I didn’t accept that for an answer! Good luck to you hun!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
LitIbit, have wondered if it might be tendinitis too. My worry is not knowing what it is and then not know how to rehabilitate it. Do you have any tips on how to get them to let me see someone who could help me?? -
Thank you so much! I will look into that ASAP! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Foxy I think people haven’t seen it because the forum was kinda busy with Jungles video stuff and my stupid arm. I thought that this was a wonderful post. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Veena, I am getting in touch with my friend in NY who is studying to become an acupuncturist/Chinese Medicine Doctor. I’m hoping that she might be able to refer you to someone or at least can point you to a reputable institution (school for Chinese Medicine) in the San Francisco area. I’ll let you know as soon as I find anything out.
Oh Thank you so much!! I’m in the north bay, Marin county area, not right in SF so the closer the better, if at all possible. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif -
I tried to get a second opinion but the clinic would only let me talk to another DR on the phone, she didn’t have much help either, but at least she listen to me unlike the other guy. Still couldn’t get a referred to sports medicine though. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif So I seem to be on my own to figure this out.
Yes yogabeachbabe, thats an excellent idea, I have thought about acupuncture, I just have no clue where to go and who would be good? What do you look for in a good acupuncturist??
-
Veena that history you’ve just given makes it sound like brachial plexus compression! numbness, pins and needles, burning and tingling are usually associated with nerves… I’m surprised your doc sent you away, i’d def get a second opinion! Poor you, thats rubbish! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gifYes Azz, thats exactly what I was thinking last night, and would be the nerve that could get compressed during say… a no handed flag move?? Right? My arm started feeling strange around the same time that I was working those types of moves. I think that I really had 2 separate issues. I tried to explain it to the first DR but he wasn’t really interested.
1 the tingling from working on the holds, minor nerve irritation, or something.
2 the bicep/tendon strain at elbow….which I have no clue as to how it happened. I do believe its a muscle strain because the majority of the pain is right where the bicep and tendon meet around the elbow. I could be tendonitis too I don’t know!?My concern with number 2 is the old injury to the ulnar nerve…that it might be causing weakness in my forearm and tricep. Then causing an imbalance. I don’t know?? I really don’t know how bad nerve damage has to be before it affects muscle strength? Do you know Azz? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
I saw one DR and he only tested the strength on the bad arm, and did not compare it to my good arm! Then I later convinced the clinic to let me speak with another DR on the phone and neither one would give me a referral to check on anything further. Because it is just a muscle strain they don’t see any need for any more opinions… and I understand that I guess, but I don’t want it to happen again. I know depending on the severity of the strain, you can have scare tissue and continuous problems if you don’t take your time to let it heal and work up to using it like before. I’m looking at possibly another month of rest and then I have to start slowly, it could be months before I can pull my body weight with it! I’m doing everything I can to heal it…ice, rest, and extra protein. If anyone knows of anything else that can help speed up the healing process please let me know.

Does X-poles sell brass? I like brass too!
Xj pole has Titanium Gold with is gripper like brass. -
Adamseve, how often do you pole dance? Does it hurt only in the morning after pole dance or just every single morning? Or are they painful and stiff all day? If your worried about something,its always best to go see your DR.
It is a very common complaint of pole dancers, when I first started pole dancing, my fingers hurt so bad I couldn’t grip a steering wheel!! Be sure your stretching your fingers, hands, and wrists after pole dancing that can help. If I take a week off and then start up again, my fingers along with the rest of my body will be sore and stiff too. I don’t know what your dancing/work out schedule looks like but, it might just be a matter of cutting back on some of the spin and invert work. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

ive been meaning to post this question for a while.
i get how to upload the pics and i made one of them primary but the little picture just doesn´t show up on the posts.
people who have been on the site for longer all have their little avatars and the more recent users don`t. ive also noticed that some of the older members´ avatars dissapeared when they changed to new primary fotos. i guess its not really important but i did like it alot before with all the avatars on the threads, it was nice to be able to put a face (or whatever image) to the names.
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif frida https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifI agree Freda. I wonder why the avatars arent showing up for some of us…
We are aware of the problem https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif Thank you for your patience. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif You should still be able to upload, but your avatar just might not show up right now. -

Veena, could you possibly recommend some exercises to do at home? thanks
I do have strength training moves to prepare you body for pole dance in my online lessons, only one of them needs the pole (the pole up) with trains your upper back, but all the rest can be done with out a pole!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif There is also some nice stretching at the end of the cool down in the lessons. The best thing to do is train your whole body, in pole we use our whole body. You’ll love having a pole at home https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif -
I ordered a size up from what I normally get in dance shoes. I wear a 7 1/2 in street shoes, but all of my heels are 7 because they don’t have half sizes. I order these boot in an 8 and think I should have gone with the 7. I ordered mine off of Amazon. All of my dance shoes have stretched a bit so thats why I go with a size down…if they had a half size it would be perfect.

Just tighten the little screws on the very bottom of the pole..let me know if it worked.
-
Hey sissy do you mean the whole pole dome and all or just the pole part? If its just the pole I’m guessing you need to tighten the little hex screws…the ones that switch the pole from spin to static, if they are loose it will wiggle back and forth.

I just posted the June Challenge… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Oh Trena that sounded like such a fun time!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I wish I could have been there and it was super cool you were able to go to a pole comp! Don’t feel bad Foxy, my party was in my parents church basment, with a bunch of old ladies and of course, what’s a party without bridal bingo and watery red juice! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Ahhh life growing up on a farm. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_porc.gif

I HAVE THOSE BOOTS..in purple of course! The heel is fine for dancing in, because it has a nice flat bottom, on the main ball of the foot part. The grip is fantastic, makes climbs super easy, just remember if your wearing sticky boots then there is always the chance you could get stuck on a move. I have had that happen going into the superman and almost did a face plant! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I too suffer from chicken leg *braawck* these boots are a tiny bit loose, tiny and almost all boots are loose on me, I wear long socks under and then they stay up fine.

Adamseve, I am positive Veena has a million preperatory exercises for inversions, check them out! Besides, I think it would be strange for me to post a tutorial here, I have great respect for Veena as a capable and excellent instructor
Fleur
LOL not a million, but yes I do, and I have much more to come!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif And remember, working on perfecting your spins (on static mode) will also strengthen your whole upper body. -
Wow! Just popped on and saw this post. Thanks for posting this Fleur I’m going to make it a sticky!! I always get a bit nervous when I see a new dancer going right on into inverts a few weeks in, yes some are lucky and have had prior strength building exercise and they can jump ahead, but most need to build up the strength. You are 100% right about taking it slow, pole dance is not all about the inverts and trick, at least not for me. I feel its an art and can be a great form of self expression. You can get a wonderful work out with out inverts. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif A well performed spin can be just as impressive as a invert. Take your time enjoy your body and your movement, inverts will come…and if they never do so what? It is still pole dance just the same.
Here are 3 examples of just transitions, spins, floorwork…I think I have one invert on the long dress dance, and one in the youtube dance but the point is I often dance with out inverting. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs3i-ryO1qM" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Now for those of you who do have my lessons…I feel I should explain this again…they are posted in order of difficulty, and you will see inverts are waaaaay off on page 7!! You have a lot of moves including strength work, to master before moving on to inverts. Now I can’t be there to tell you what to do but, the lessons are set up in that order for a reason. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
REMEMER IT IS NOT A CONTEST TO SEE HOW SOON YOU CAN INVERT. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif Always judge your progress against YOUR PROGRESS not the girl who started the same time as you. Pole dance is WONDERFUL, empowering, fun and a great way to get in shape, BUT only when done properly. Shoulders back and down ladies…back and down https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif LOL
Happy poling ladies https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
