The Cost of Pole: Injuries, Recovery & Longevity

This week on Pole Obsession, we’re getting real about injuries, recovery and what happens after 20+ years in pole.
Joining us is OG poler Daisy, who opens up about undergoing a double hip replacement after decades of dance, showgirl work and years of splits. Felix Cane shares some of the wild injuries she’s experienced from elite-level pole tricks and being literally thrown off poles, while El somehow survived with comparatively minor injuries despite a lifetime of dance and gymnastics.
Between us, we’ve spent decades training, competing and performing — from ballet and gymnastics as kids to over 20 years inside the pole industry. And for once… we actually stayed on topic.
This episode dives into:
- the injuries nobody warns you about
- how pole changes your body over time
- training smarter for longevity
- recovery, ageing and staying in the industry long-term
- and what the next generation of polers should know now
Funny, honest, slightly horrifying at times… but genuinely one of our most interesting conversations yet.
