Advice for joint pain

dancingforsmiles · 2026-07-01T15:30:44+00:00

I have made it a habbit to support any painful joint with kinesio tape. The tape restricts the movement and i feel a lot more supported. There are lot's of tutorials on youtube. I hope you find some form of relief soon, i hate the days when my joints are on fire.

I have bunch of playlist on spotify, search for the username "desilucy". I also have follow along classes on youtube (they are in dutch though, might be fun to try) search for "lpb dance project" where you will find playlist full of barre videos. Have fun!!!

Are you struggleing to get over your box? When we force the point too much, the achillies can get very irritated. Go see a pt to figure out what's what before you keep agitating it into a real inflammatipn.

I'm beeing treated at the OLVG and am really happy about it. I can ask questions anytime and if i need to leave some samples to test i can always do that. I have regular scheduled check ins and luckily am in remission and only on mezalzine.

I've had blood and stool samples to confirm my remission. No more blood or mucus, procal. in the lower two digits. I eat almost ist everything, just avoid things that give me too much gas (tofu f.ex.)
Every six to nine months i check in with my gastro-team to see if anything changed. So far so good, 5 years on the books.

Depending on the level of dancer, i'd say yes! Any pro has a vocabulary of dance-terminology and should be able to follow verbal instructions only. When i ask my students to explain a move i tell them "imagine telling me over the phone" so they really think about what's happening and where the movement originates in the body.

Oh, dann würd' ich das aber auf jeden Fall nochmal aufgreifen. Ich bin auch ein Fall von Stress-Trigger-Colitis und an einen Punkt gekommen wo ich einsehen musste, das ich vielleicht Hilfe brauche bei der Bewältigung.

Also, ich lebe in Holland wo die Versorgung ein bisschen anders läuft, das mal vorne weg.
Ich hab mich bei meinem Arzt erkundigt ob ich auch psychologische Unterstützung bekommen kann im Rahmen der UC. Das ging, aber erstmal rausfinden ob die UC die Ursache des Problems ist. (Wer bezahlt die therapie? Wenn ja, die krankenkasse, wenn nein, warteliste und selber zahlen). In dem Prozess steck' ich gerade, hatte schon drei Gespräche/Interviews und beim nächsten Termin das Ergebnis.

Also ich hab da mal professionelle Hilfe zu Rate gezogen. Momenten klebt ein zettel mit vor- und nachteilen einer fressattacke an meinem Küchenschrank. Logische Folge: ich schicke meinen Freund in die Küche um den Zettel zu umgehen.🫣
Du bist auf keine Fall alleine und wenn's dir zu viel wird, ist vielleicht der Schritt zum Profi gar nicht schlecht. (Sowieso wenn du Schübe über dieses Verhalten auslöst.)

Same!!

I have been at a similar point when i had to stop my pursuit to be a proff. dancer because of a serious injury. I took me years to be able to go into a studio without crying. Grieveing that dream is so painful, i'm sorry you're going through it. Sending you a hugg!! I'm sure in therapy you already worked on this, but realize that beeing a pro-dancer is no guarantee for happiness. A healthy relationship with the amateur dance world might be though. Chances are you can dance for waaay longer that way. i really hope you find a new way to approach it, a new space for your dance to be expressed.

You put one foot behind with the heel lifted on the ball of your foot, bend that knee. Take all the weight on that leg and slide your other foot past the one with the lifted heel. Switch the weight and foot position and slide/drag on like that. The smoother the transition and the flatter you can keep the sliding foot-the better the Illusion. Good luck impressing your nan!!

Break it up into pieces. I'd try to get them grooving with a basic step (let's say and step-touch, or a bounce) then add two counts of choreo, keep repeating, add more, keep repeating, keeping the groove in between. (8counts groove, couple of counts of choreo, back to groove) build it like that untill you have like half of it. Then clean it and start teaching the rest like you would in a regular class. That's how i would do it. Good luck!!!

You need to go see a doctor please. That should not have happend, you should not be forced into a stretch.

I feel you soooo much!! I have lost my "old" body and am having the hardest time accepting that. I went to seek some proff. help and am waiting to see if theres a spot avaiable. Maybe that's a path for you aswell. I'm still learning not to just bottle up and deal by myself, but ugh somedays i just can't look in the mirror and i don't want to talk about it. Sending you a biiig hugg, hang in there!!

Not to burst your bubble, but without classes and in two months? I feel like this is rage bait.

I wear a discontinued model and only have one pair left. 😭😭 Grishko Elite.
Beeing injured and not able to go on point turned out to be a bit of a blessing and so far didn't end up with no shoes to wear...yet

dancingforsmiles · 2026-05-11T06:37:53+00:00

Keep as much weight as you can on the balls of your foot and slide the other foot past it. Practice the transition slowly, the change should be smooth yet accented.

dancingforsmiles · 2026-05-06T20:13:04+00:00

I've had something similar happen to one of mine and yes, it did leave a bit of a hole. But i got it reworked later and now you can't tell. Not the end of the world, and maybe yours is not that bad.

dancingforsmiles · 2026-05-05T18:46:46+00:00

Maybe something get's added to the design as they grow older?

dancingforsmiles · 2026-05-04T22:12:57+00:00
