What the research says about injuries in circus arts (including pole!) with researcher Dr. Stephanie Greenspan
Description
This week we’re joined by circus researcher and physical therapist Stephanie Greenspan (DPT,OCS,NCS) to talk about her research, including a recently published year-long study of circus artists & injuries that includes polers! We talk about the current state of research in the area, what they’ve learned from the data so far and some (maybe surprising!) takeaways for polers.

The Evidence-Based Pole Podcast aims to help pole dancers feel better on and off the pole by talking with experts and diving into relevant scientific research to find evidence-based insights we can apply to our pole journeys. It’s a production of Slink Through Strength, the inclusive, evidence-based online pole studio, which can be found online at slinkthroughstrength.com
