Are you in a manual labour job and feeling the strain on your body?
Here are 5 physiotherapy tips to help you stay healthy, strong, and injury-free:

1️⃣ Warm up before work
Start your day with a few minutes of stretching and gentle movement. This gets your blood flowing and prepares your muscles for physical activity—helping to prevent injuries.

2️⃣ Maintain good posture
Whether you're standing, sitting, or lifting, posture matters. Keep your spine aligned and shoulders relaxed to avoid back and neck pain.

3️⃣ Take regular breaks
Short, frequent breaks give your muscles time to recover. Stretch or change positions to avoid overuse injuries and boost your overall performance.

4️⃣ Lift the right way
Bend your knees—not your back—when lifting. Hold objects close to your body and avoid twisting to reduce the risk of injury.

5️⃣ Stay active outside of work
Regular exercise builds strength, improves flexibility, and supports recovery. It’s also great for reducing stress and improving overall well-being.

🔹 Your body is your greatest tool—look after it!

Strength and balance exercises are just as important as endurance activity. Strong muscles and improved balance make it easier to do daily activities and help to prevent falls. Try to do strength and balance exercises at least 2 days a week. Here is an example.

Sit to Stand:

• Sit towards the front of the chair with feet
shoulder width apart.
• Lean slightly forward.
• Stand up slowly, using your legs, not arms.
• Keep looking forward. Stand tall.
• To sit: lean slightly forward, bend your knees, and
slowly lower your buttocks back into the chair.
