Hand placement is important, placing them too high will make this spin much harder.

I had damaged my unlnar nerve my 3rd month into poling….not pole related ( i was sewing and banged my "funny bone" into the back of a chair" My fingers were numb for over 5 days) so I went to the dr. They told me it was nerve damage. They did some test to see how quick the nerves were reacting. I had to stay off the pole and away from over stressing it for a month. Killed me!!! It still flares up some times if I bump it or something during floorwork or on a chair again. I was told by the dr if my fingers didn’t regain feeling soon I may need surgery, but it ended up fine. Not much can be done for nerves….rest!!!! I also wore a stiff elbow brace so I wouldn’t inadvertently bang it or bend it. I just took it really slow when I started to feel better and it was fine. It only affected my fingers….and using my triceps heavily was out until the nerve had settled down. The inflammation had to go down so the never could slide through the "tunnel" without irritation. So don’t lean on the elbow or sleep with it bent avoid things that are repetitive and stressing until its better. Light stretching is good…or so I was told. Don’t stress… it killed me to stop dancing for 5 weeks but its worth it if it meant I can pole now.
One last thing, A yr after my injury I saw a great massage therapist that was super helpful with releasing the fascia more around the nerve maybe something you might want to look into, just make sure they know what their doing. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hmmm thats odd..I’ll have to ask webmaster why you would end up back at your profile. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif You should just be able to click on a video lesson and there will be a pop up that tells you that you must purchase them to view and you can go from there.

Breath, breath and BREATH.. this is so important even more so if you have high blood pressure!!
The Valsalva maneuver should be avoided both in pole and weight training!!!!! (Think of taking quick short breaths then holding your breath and exerting force) er ummm…think straining for a "tough bowl" movement. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif lol not what you want!
Here is how I use my breath when I pole
Exhale on exertion…here’s and example…Invert into Caterpillar:
inhale fully,
exhale try making an audible hhhhhhh sound while lifting up into invert… (jaw is relaxed)…keep it slow. Not a forceful quick exhale.
once up, calmly inhale (I like to do it though my nose)…not short little gasps!!
on your next need to exhale…press up into caterpillar while making your…hhhhhhh…..hold the position and continue to breath, deeply, slowly and with control.If you find your dizzy or have headaches after poling you might be holding your breath…this goes for spins too!!! No sure if that was helpful…tried to keep it short and sweet. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
