Tradies National Health Month
APA national advertising campaign:
Choose physio for tradies health
This August marks the APA’s ninth Tradies National Health Month, an awareness initiative that shines light on the importance of tradies health.
Based on research^, we know that 60% of tradies often have aches and pains as a result of their job, and that two-thirds of tradies agreed that they would be more inclined to stretch or warm-up before starting work if their employer prioritised it. These are things that physiotherapy can help with – from expert advice for tradies; to on-site visits to employers of tradies to share warm-ups and worksite risk assessments.
So this August, take the time to think about tradies health and use these tips and resources to help spread the word.
