HS PE2 compression on the neck?

Hello everybody,

I am trying the PE2 (headstand) and whenever i do it i start feeling a buzz in my ears that disappear after a bit i get down from the head. If i try to stay upside down on my arms i don't have any issue so i am afraid that is related to the weight on the head / neck. Anybody felt something similar? Any tricks to avoid it? Basically i cannot practice this level if i am not confident that there is no issue on this.

Regards

Hey Luca, are you doing any sort of light warm up? like neck rounds, side flexion, and front/back flexion/extension? Also are you warming up with the PE1?

Hello Alessandro,

yes, basically i have no pain or problem just the sound in the hears in the moment in which i get down.

I post a video:

Thank for your support

Hi Luca try to tuck a bit your chin, for some people the spine tends to unload the weight on the ground much better in this position. the idea is still working away from problems. so adjusting the position if necessary is ok.

Thanks Alessandro,

any comment about the form?

Luca

Nothing to add is good.
