🚨TW: Injury detail… Guys it’s been a rough couple of weeks! 

In 13 years of pole… this is my first injury… such a freak accident, I crushed my fingers between the pole and the floor 3 weeks ago today😫… if my hand landed a couple more inches to the left, I would have just had a bruised knee 🙈

I had hand surgery 2 days after injury to remove my nails and repair the nail beds, they stitched up the deep lacerations and removed some bone fragments in my finger tips.

I’m determined to get back to pole as soon as possible but I’ve been told I’m not allowed for 4 more weeks 🙈, I thought I’d share my progress and rehab journey back to doing what I love… Pole fitness & gym! 

Today I attempted an upper body sesh which I managed using cuffs and lifting hooks as I’m unable to grip atm. I’m quite impressed with how it went ☺️

The positive now is that the extreme pain and weird sensations in my hand have stopped and I’m able to do a lot more than I could a week ago… crushing your fingers is no joke, I wasn’t prepared for the post surgery pain and the first dressing change was horrific! I had to have gas & air! 🙈

So if you’ve had a similar injury or a break from pole/ gym, I’d love to hear how long it took you to get back to normality/ your previous ability! Xx
