I just started pole dancing about a month ago. I just started doing tricks on the pole, now my arms are so sore and they been that way for more than a week. I was wondering if anyone else experience long lasting soreness?

It really helps to make sure you warm up and stretch out afterwards, have you been overdoing it on the pole lol! If you have started doing tricks then you will be using more of your body strength so your arms can become sore. I have soreness in my elbows all the time and go for regular massage, saunas etc. Take it easy lady :-)

You are most welcome, I know what if feels like and how hard it is not to play on the pole!

These things seem to help with my soreness, which is 24/7 since 4/6/13 Omega 3's for inflammation Glucosamine for joint lubrication Epsom salt baths Icy-Hot & Ice Packs Suemaz Polesilks said stretch. Drink lots of water too, dehydration causes muscle soreness and do the rejuvination days like Veena says, I was stupid and didn't lost 5 days to recover from over use of my deltoids.

Hi Justme718, When you're new to pole dancing or working out, take a day of rest in between sessions. This is super important so your muscles can recover, they will not grow stronger unless you let them rest. Here are two videos that you might find helpful as a new dancer. Getting started http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-Bgmg3jNmQ Tips for Success http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSYHrZjzSnU&list=UUup79MtZnWP_SCAHeVlmzdQ&index=7 There is nothing that will speed up the healing process, so again rest is important, but doing what the other girls have suggested can help you feel better. The foam roller feels great too. Feel better soon! 🌸

Thanks so much for the advice I will differently use it! I heard about the form roller before I need to go pick one up. Thanks again!
