Pole Dance and Performance Tips with Pole Savage Science of Slink: The Evidence Based Pole Podcast with Dr. Rosy Boa

    • Performing Arts

Hello Pole Dancer, welcome to The Evidence Based Pole Podcast! This week we are joined by an incredible guest, Neesh AKA Pole Savage. Neesh is a pole instructor and physical therapist, her knowledge of physical therapy brings a niche understanding of teaching people and understanding how ur bodies feel most comfortable. 

In this episode we have the opportunity to learn how Neesh's physical therapist knowledge has shaped her pole teaching and training and her tips for pole dance students. We dove deep into pole performance and competition tips and what to do before and after you perform! We also talk about best practices to prevent injuries & what to do if/when you get one. Furthering the discussion was the note that the evidence has changed on prevention and recovery of injury! 

Some of the ways we have discovered to prevent injury is building muscle, exercise flexibility, and joint mobility. An interesting part of the change to injury care that has changed is that resting and icing are no longer primary recommendations for healing. We used to term loading the tissue to rebuild after injury which means how much force is being applied to the area. This should be guided exercises by a physical therapist.
