Todays 10/22/15 Periscope broadcast. I cut out the Q & A at the end of this episode. The topic was Reasons to stop pole dancing, of course I'm not talking about quitting all together! I did cover a few reasons why taking time off is a good idea and at times necessary! Feel free to share this with your friends! It will be posted to my FB page. :)

Thank you for this. I have been having persistent issues with my rotator cuff on my left side since June and it has become progressively worse over time because I have not been taking the breaks I needed. Now I am forced to stop due to having developed tendinitis in my rotator cuff and have to get weekly physio. Even at that point I still went ahead and participated in a student showcase last weekend and now I am even worse off. It seems likely I wont be back on pole for a few months.
What I would like to know is in order to not totally weaken over the course of my time off, what conditioning exercise is approprate? The problem is finding exercises that wont require me using my arms and shoulders at all. I also just recently got my side split on my left side and I need to ensure i dont lose that as well. I welcome any feedback you may have. Thank you!

VeenaYou are very welcome! What kind of exercises did the dr give you? Have you finished weekly physio? If you haven't yet started physio talk with them to create plan for maintaining. If you find they're not helpful then let me know and we can figure something out! Keep working on flexibility!

Kellye PerkinsHello JcanChick. When I started pole 2 years ago I had shoulder issues also as they were very weak. This Navy Seal Shoulder Rehab program fixed me up quick. I do these exercises as a warm up prior to every pole session and I haven't had shoulder issues in a very long time. Hope they help you too! [www.stewsmith.com]

Sunshine GoddessIt felt great to hear everything you have covered, Veena.
JcanChick@ I recently also had a similar pain in my right shoulder rotator. While I was doing the 30 days take off program, especially the exercise series from the "conditionning section" of Veena's lessons, I realised that it helped a lot to aleviate the pain.

JcanChick Hello Veena, yes I am currently having physio twice a week. I am told to stay off pole and they will evaluate my progress in a months time. But my guess is ill probably need longer than that. For now they havent given me any exercises to do. I assume they will after a month of physio. My concern is weakening significantly during this break, and whether i will have significant improvement with healing to resume pole safely. It seems my only safe bet as far as continueing exercises is ellipticals at the gym, core exercises without having to use my arms and leg work.
@kellyeperkins3034 that seems interesting will check it out.
@Sunshine Goddess. I havent been told to do any conditioning exercises yet by my physiotherapist. Once i get the green light I will start some of those exercises from the conditioning section. 1 people like this
