Pole Dancing Changed My Life, Says Woman With MS
When Shelly Sutton was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, she felt “like my world had shattered”.
It left her unable to walk, talk or drive, but she said pole dancing had helped change her life.
Shelly, 42, who was diagnosed with the condition in 2021, attends a weekly pole class and along with new medication, believes it has helped prove doctors wrong.
The MS Society, external said although there has not been any research on pole dancing and its impact on people living with the condition, any form of exercise can help mood, mobility and muscle strength.
When she was diagnosed she lost feeling on the right side of her body.
She said: “Everything went through my head because the first thing you think of with MS is a wheelchair.
“I just felt like my world had shattered and the carpet had been ripped from under my feet,” said Shelly, originally from Essex and now living in Merthyr Tydfil.
She was in hospital in Carmarthen for a week, where she was told by doctors that she had relapsing remitting MS, external and it was unlikely she would be able to walk again.
But she was determined to prove them wrong, and began searching for alternative ways to help rebuild her strength.
She found Pole2Fitness, a pole dancing studio owned by Lee Gardener in Aberbargoed in Caerphilly county.
“Before coming I could never get upside down on the pole, I’d never have dreamed of it,” she said. “But with Lee’s help I’ve been able to master that.”
Lee has been a pole dancer for 14 years and opened a pole fitness studio more than a year ago.
He described it as a great exercise which works every muscle in the body, and is open to everyone.
“It’s always nerve-wracking coming in and there is a stereotype because people think we are all strippers but once you come into the room you realise that’s not the case,” he said.
He has had to adapt some of the classes slightly for Shelly as sometimes she struggles with remembering the routines and needs extra time.
For Shelly, not only has pole dancing helped her physically, but it has also helped her mentally by improving her self confidence.
She said: “Pole is a way of life. It’s not just a fitness class, it becomes like a family.
“Everyone’s very together in that way, we support each other through the bad and good times.”
Shelly also wants to change the “sexy stigma” that comes with pole dancing.
“I’ve got male friends who will be quite judgemental and think it’s all about stripping, but then when they see the videos of me training and see the physical benefits of it their opinion often changes,” she said.
While still learning to live with the often difficult reality of MS, she said pole dancing meant she was able to get her life back.
“Never in my life did I think I’d be doing what I am doing today and it is a massive life achievement. It’s completely changed my life for the better,” Shelly added.

A business owner has secured £125,000 on Dragons’ Den for her debit card and mobile app for people with dementia.
Jayne Sibley, from Winchester, created Sibstar while caring for her parents, who were both diagnosed with the disease.
The card and app allows families to safely manage everyday spending and was launched in March 2023.
Dragons’ Den investors, Sara Davies and Deborah Meaden backed the business and said it could “transform lives”.
Ms Sibley recently appeared on the BBC show with her business partner Martin Orton and said it was a “hugely emotional experience” as she had to talk about “difficult times” caring for her parents.
She said when her late mother, June, was living with dementia, handling everyday money became difficult, explaining: “She got very confused with how much to spend, she would spend more on food shopping than me and I’ve got a family of four and it would all go off in the fridge.
“She fell victim to scams over the phone, she would take money out of the cashpoint and give it away three or four times a day. My brother and I eventually made the very difficult decision of taking away access to her own money, which immediately meant taking away her independence.”
Sibstar means a person with dementia has access to a debit card, which is pre-loaded with funds and a caregiver or loved one is then able to manage the money through a phone app.
Ms Sibley added: “You can manage how and where that money is used. So you can set monthly spending limits, daily spending limits, you can set how much can be taken out of the cashpoint.”
Deborah Meaden and Sara Davies both offered £62,500 on the show, each with a 5% share of the business.
Ms Meaden said: “Jayne’s idea is so simple, but has the ability to transform lives. I was impressed by how she’d taken her own lived experience and channelled it into making an impressive financial services product that’s already secured a foothold in a sector in which it’s notoriously difficult to achieve cut-through.”
Ms Davies added: “I think many families out there are going to be extremely grateful to Jayne for addressing a common challenge for people with dementia, and I’m excited to offer the benefit of my experience to help those affected live independently for longer.”
Ms Sibley said that since the Dragons’ Den episode aired, enquiries into the business have increased.
She said: “Our social media following has doubled overnight and our enquiries have gone up by about 1,000%, huge impact it’s an incredible opportunity.”

Meet Robbie, The Walking Talking Robot Guide Dog
In a world where technology seeks to improve our lives, could the traditional guide dog have a hi-tech competitor?
Robbie the RoboGuide, developed by the University of Glasgow, integrates sensor and AI technologies into a walking robot body, creating the possibility to navigate, communicate and describe environments.
One of the motivations behind the project is to create a cheaper alternative to guide dogs, as well as equipping people to extend their senses and helping fill the gaps when there are shortages training up and placing new dogs.
BBC Scotland reporter Ian Hamilton, who has navigated the world with the aid of guide dogs for more than 40 years, has been along to the university with his own four-legged friend Major to take a test drive.

A Sunderland-based rock band is calling for better accessibility and inclusivity in the music industry.
Frontman Alex James, of the Alex James Band, has Duchenne muscular dystrophy and uses an electric wheelchair.
The singer and guitar player wants live music venues to ensure disabled musicians can perform.
The band’s biggest headline gig to date, at the Independent in Sunderland, was made possible by the venue using an 8ft (2.4m) ramp so Alex could get on to the stage.

Firefighters Learn Life-Saving Sign Language
Firefighters are being taught sign language to help them communicate more effectively during an emergency.
Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service implemented the initiative after a visit to two schools where pupils with hearing impairments asked the crew how they would deal with someone who could not hear during an emergency.
The children taught the crew some key words and phrases, prompting the service to begin rolling out training to 600 members of staff.
Red Watch manager at Newcastle Central Community Fire Station, Steven Walker, said the training programme could save lives and would be “invaluable”.
“It has been a fascinating experience to be at the heart of creating this new sign language programme,” he said.
“What makes this extra special is the involvement and input of young people from the local community.”
Firefighters will be given an interactive package containing an information guide and a video created by students, with 20 key phrases that could be essential during an emergency.
The phrases include “where is the fire?” and “are you hurt?”.
Pupils from Broadwood Primary School and Jesmond Park Academy had initially invited the fire crew to visit as part of a class project entitled ‘People who help us’.
During the visit, they queried how firefighters would be able to help if the people they were rescuing could not hear.
Kirsten Binns, who teaches students with hearing impairments at Broadwood Primary School, said the children benefited from understanding the nature of the firefighters’ work, and were happy to teach them some basic sign language.

Snowdon- By Wheelchair
A man who has a muscle wasting condition is going to race up Yr Wyddfa, also known as Snowdon, in the all terrain wheelchair which he said has changed his life.
Josh Wintersgill from Wookey in Somerset received the chair 18 months ago and is taking on the mountain to raise money so others can have the same chance.
“I knew Snowdon would be a challenge and I knew there was a route that was potentially accessible.
“Then I saw another chap go up it in a powered chair and I thought, if he can do it then I can.”
Josh has a degenerative condition called spinal muscular atrophy which has affected him since childhood.
He will be climbing Snowdon in June with another wheelchair user Maxwell McKnight who has the same condition.
The two men hope it will inspire others to see that a physically disability does not mean you cannot explore the great outdoors.
They have called the challenge ‘Know No Bounds’ and hope to raise £100,000 to help buy more off road wheelchairs, which can cost £25,000 each.
“Not many people know these chairs exist,” said Josh.
“Yes they are expensive but what they enable people to do is ultimately lifechanging.”
The chair has allowed Josh to train in the steep woodland by his family home on the Mendip Hills.
“25 years ago was the last time I came up here, when I used to be able to walk,” he explained.
“Being there again is like all those childhood memories coming back.”
“That’s what this chair is capable of doing, giving people back the freedom and independence they lost because of the condition they have.”
