I recently had to take 3 days off of work because of a pinched nerve in my shoulder. I can't say its entirely from hooping because I have a very physically demanding job, but rather than rest when it was sore, I was stubborn and hooped. A lot. Without stretching. I do a lot of poi hooping, and I am realizing that I need to A) stretch and b) strength train.

I was hooping and jumped through my hoop and landed on my ankle. I'm walking with a cane for a short time though :( However I am still hooping I just cant spin to the left for now or jump .

I'm an LMT too, yay! 
I've never hurt my neck shoulder hooping, but when I first started using those shoulder hooping muscles my rhomboids and traps were totally screwed for a couple weeks. Not counting how screwed they are normally :) Plus when I started hooping I had a subluxated rib that caused severe ulnar pain and spasms in serratus and teres major and minor. between how much I hoop and doing 6 massages a day 5 days a week, I get a massage at the very least once a month and go to the chiro every 2 weeks to keep everything where it belongs.
Get a massage lady! bones aren't the only thing that can pinch a nerve. lay off the hoops for a while, and when you feel better, start slow. if its an injury i'd recommend rest and ice over strengthening work.

My first "sports-related injury" (the NP's term for it) was a torn calf muscle during a hoop session.  I wasn't even hooping at the time, just dancing across the room to pick up a flyaway hoop.  However, I'd already been hooping for over an hour, and my leg apparently had had enough for the day. 

 

It took 5 weeks for the muscle to heal enough for me to get back in the hoop, but it's fine now.  More recently, I hurt a foot doing a jumpthrough, but it's about healed.

I think I have a repetative strain injury (RSI) in my wrists & forearms from hooping! Has anyone ever gotten tx for this? I'm seeing my doctor today if I can. Do I HAVE to stop hooping for a while? Stretches? Ice or heat? Ibuprophen? Advice, please!

hhmm I've actually haven't heard of that!  have you tried any stretching on a daily basis for it??? turn your arm so your palms are facing up than take the opposite hadn and pull your fingers down you should feel a stretch in you forearm....hold for 30 sec x3  do that every day.... that should help =)

Thanks - I'll try that!

I couldn't get an appointment with my doctor, and now I'm leaving for a trip (to NC and I will drop in to Baxter's local class in Carborro!) Anyone else hear of forearm RSI and gotten tx for it?
