August is Tradies National Health Month and we want to give a shout out to our tradie clients, including local builder Adam and plumber Matt, who are at the clinic each week working on their strength and mobility 💪🏼
A recent survey of tradies from across the country has revealed the following challenges faced by them in the past year:
- Over 90% of tradies experienced work-related injuries or pain in the past year, with 90% of these injuries caused or worsened by work.
- 76% reported pain significantly impacts their quality of life.
- 42% described their pain as severe, with some suffering for months or even years.
- 87% medicate or self-medicate to manage their pain, with 30% resorting to drugs or alcohol.
- 24% fear they will need to retire early due to stress on their bodies.
Physiotherapy and Pilates can be transformative for tradies, addressing common persistent issues like back, knee, and shoulder pain that can significantly impact quality of life.
