To ensure she can sustain this position, I have tied Blue on a bench with a squishy surface and placed a rolled-up towel under her head. This reduces the pressure on her knees and provides a comfortable place for her to rest her head if needed. If I had tied her in this position on a harder surface, I might have placed similar cushioning under her knees to make the position more sustainable. This bench was also relatively narrow, so I was always close at hand in case Blue lost her balance. With how she is tied in this picture, she could easily wiggle onto the floor leaving only her ankles still attached to the bench.

Hi everyone! Blue here. This day was so much fun because it was the first time in a while that I could sustain an elbow harness this extreme. A few years before, I had a non-rope-related nerve injury in my left shoulder which prevented me from having my arms tied behind my back. Major bummer for someone with my proclivities … But with several months of rest, physical therapy stretches and exercises (with oversight from a professional) I was able to recover a lot of my strength and flexibility. However, I’m still weaker on my left side and need to be careful about behind the back ties. Before attempting this elbow harness, I did some light warmups including shoulder circles, arm circles, cat cow stretches, and thread the needle stretches.
