🚤 BOAT CLEANING INJURIES ARE A REAL THING 😅
You started with:
🧽 “I’m just going to give the boat a quick clean.”
A few hours later:
😩 Sore back
😩 Achy shoulders
😩 Stiff knees
😩 Questioning every life decision while scrubbing algae off the trailer
Between bending, twisting, lifting coolers, scrubbing awkward angles, and climbing in and out of the boat… your body is basically doing a full workout without the warm-up. 💪😂
Common “boat day” injuries include:
⚓ Low back strain
⚓ Shoulder irritation
⚓ Neck stiffness
⚓ Knee pain
⚓ Tennis elbow from aggressive scrubbing 🧽
Tips to protect yourself:
✔️ Take stretch breaks
✔️ Lift with your legs
✔️ Switch sides often while scrubbing
✔️ Don’t try to finish everything in one marathon session
✔️ Hydrate… because “boat sweat” counts too ☀️
If your “quick clean” turns into pain that sticks around, Physiotherapy III is here to help get you back on the water comfortably! 🚤
