AUGUST is Tradies National Health Month
Did you known that:
A recent survey found that majority of Australian tradies report experiencing workplace injuries, with 75% highlighting that the pain associated with these injuries significantly impacts their quality of life.
* 42% describe their pain as severe
* 87% medicate or self - medicate to manage their pain.
Two in three tradies worry about the long-term impacts of their injuries;
many fear they will need to retire early due to work-related stress on their bodies.
Physiotherapy can be a game changer providing:
* Effective pain management - provides targeted pain relief & reduces the need for medication.
* Prevention & recovery- helps prevent injuries & speeds up recovery from existing ones.
* Improve mobility - enhances strength & flexibility, making daily tasks easier & safer.
What can you do?
If you know a tradie, urge them not to ignore the minor pains.
Encourage them to book an appointment with Halls Head Physio who can sort a customised treatment plan.
