As the annual Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) Tradies National Health Month draws to a close it is important that every day, every week we all continue to focus on and assist tradies with their health and well-being.
The highly qualified, experienced physiotherapy team at Physioworks Health Group can help tradies to:
- Prevent injuries; by teaching techniques to work safely and avoid common injuries.
- Provide early intervention; by addressing pain early we help to prevent chronic issues and long-term complications.
- Enhance quality of life; by managing pain effectively, physiotherapy enables tradies to maintain their productivity and enjoy their everyday life and activities.
- Adapt with age; our team can help tradies adjust their work habits as their bodies age, reducing the risk of injury and prolonging their careers.
Physioworks Health Group Director Andrew Dalwood said “Surveys by the APA show that 90% of tradies have reported work-related injuries or pain in the past 12 months, but many just self-medicate or do nothing about their pain”.
“Our physio team can assist with treatment and management of a specific condition and all those ongoing aches and pains. And importantly we can provide tailored, ongoing health care advice for tradies to help keep them pain free and staying on the tools”, added Andrew.
If you are a tradie, don’t continue to struggle with your pain. Give your preferred Physioworks clinic a call and let us help you toward a better quality of life – at work and play.
