Hi, I’m Emily.
I help pole dancers.
When I started pole dancing, I had no idea it would end up being such a major part of my identity.
I was in chiropractic school when signed up for my first taster class. Like a lot of pole dancers, I quickly became obsessed. One class turned in to a pack of 10 turned into an unlimited membership.
This quick progression, coupled with sub-optimal training methods (turns out taking more classes isn’t necessarily better), I found myself laying on the studio floor with a dislocated shoulder.
As I underwent the frustrating and tedious journey of injury rehab, I swore to myself that I would do everything in my power to keep another pole dancer from having to go through what I went through.
The judgemental looks when I shared I was a pole dancer. The confusion about what I needed my shoulder to be able to do. The “then don’t do that” comments.
From this experience, I shifted my focus from general sports medicine to specializing in the reduction and treatment of pole dancer injuries.
