We all know Tradies work early hours and often physically work beyond most people’s comfort levels. In fact, Tradies frequently present to our clinic reporting a long history of pain that they have pushed through and ignored until finally a day comes when they are broken and can’t lift, push, carry and hold any more.
Tradies rely heavily on their musculoskeletal health for their performance at work, and can tend to ignore the aches and pains, which if left untreated can become more debilitating and disabling. Australian trades people make up 30% of the populations workforce, but according to Safety Australia they make up over half (58%) of the workforces injury claims.
