Anyone else have this experience?

Neck issues. Chronic shoulder issues. Costochronditis (back and chest).

Try to stand further back when cleaning at height to reduce the acute angle your head is at.

Also use your legs to walk back and forward as you clean the window to reduce the amount of 'travel' in your arms.

What pole and brush do you use?

Used to get a fair amount of pain a few years back.

Changed technique. Swapped to extreme poles as soon as they were released. Regular Physio.  Correct brush for the correct job.

Pain is a thing of the past. 6 years wfp on the 20th of this month.

What is the change in technique?

Or do you mean standing further away at a better angle?

Learn to pole with the pole held on the opposite side of the body to your normal position.

apart from the odd  bit of neck ache(usually towards the end of a busy day)im fine.

strength training for me as helped a lot. i work out with weights 4 times week now(upper/lower body split routine).
price higher/work harder!
