REST!!! It sounds like it could be medial epicondylitis…..a fancy name for injury or over use of the wrist extensors. It could be something totally different too, but when you feel like you may have injured something try this.. R. I. C. E. REST, ICE, COMPRESSION, ELEVATION. You may have over used the muscles or cause a small tear. If you feel a pain while dancing and it doesn’t go away after you stop using it rest, rest, rest. If it continues to be a problem you want to see a DR. I will have some great exercises in the new lessons for helping prevent this kind of injury. Here is one of them you can work on once your feeling better

When I lived in North Dakota and Minnesota I was affected by SAD, I found that once I had started pole dancing I didn’t have as much trouble with it. It would get pretty bad before that. Its funny now…I live in sunny California and I find myself really missing those cloudy days, all the sun is kinda annoying to me, https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif but I wonder if I would get really depressed if I moved back to the clouds https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Don’t feel bad verucablue….I think people underestimate the amount of strength some spins require. If you don’t have a solid chair spin you shouldn’t move on to a Reverse grab, unless you enjoy injuries. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif but seriously, in my new lessons most spins will not be labeled as beginner, I feel too many use all spins as beginner moves, but really pole climbs, sits, elbowstands, and hold and so on…are much better for the beginner to work on. When your spinning your holding your own body weight AND you have added momentum to that equation, adding more weight of course. So don’t feel bad if you can invert but still have troubles with some spins. If you having troubles you may need to start working on some strength off the pole or with your pole. Spins require, hand, forearm, chest, upper back ab and a lot of shoulder strength. Also it might be helpful to take a look to make sure you technique for spins is good, if you don’t have the proper form down, you’ll begin to have troubles with the more difficult spins. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif
A vid might be helpful so we can see whats going on…it might be as simple as you being to close the pole.

If your new to pole dance and exercise you don’t want to be working on moves every day!! Pole dance is a full body work out and you need a day of rest in between your work outs, to let your muscles recover so they can grow. Now, that doesn’t mean you can’t work with your pole everyday….I’m just suggesting you don’t work on spins and moves (inverts ect.) every day. Transitions, floorwork and such are fine, just save the heavy tricks for every other day, working on the exotic movements would be fine to do daily. If you push and push, you are far more likely to end up with an injury. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pale.gif So take your time and have fun. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Make sure you have lined up the Xs on the base of the pole with your little screw holes. Tighten well. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

LOL yeah she is more bendy than most. I wouldn’t try that hold. I have hypermoble joints in my arms and it was painful for me!!! Very cool looking but I would leave that grip to her. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hmmm, if its really bad and you have never had a problem before I would just call your DR and ask if its anything to be concerned about. There are lots a good tips to help you, this thread was for spinny mode but you could apply most of it to static too. Check this one out. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif

I hope its feeling better now. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif I’m not sure what part of you back you’ve hurt but, if you think you have pulled somethings REST! If your not seeing an improvement go to your DR. If you have swelling use the RICE method. R rest, I ice, C Compression, E elevate. Once you do get your pole, start off nice and slow and always warm up really well before you begin. Save the stretching for after your dancing. Don’t start pole dancing until your back is all better. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
