There is a saying that goes: An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. Sounds a bit cliché, right?

But often, tradies ignore that and find reasons not to take care of themselves like how they take care of their tools.

As part of the ongoing Tradies National Health Month series, The Physio Depot’s principal physiotherapist, Patrick Lincoln, joins us for this episode. We will dig deeper into the importance of getting checked at the first sign of discomfort and why you should value your health above all else. We will also discuss the exercises that diversify our movements, overdoing exercising, and the effects of niggles on our well-being.

Long story short, tradie or not, it is time to take our health seriously. We invite you to listen to today’s conversation and start taking action!

02:00 Health: a tradies’ most important asset
