22.01.2022 National Tradie Month Tip Be sun safe We all know that getting too much sun on our skin can be a bad thing, leading to possible sunburn, dehydration and skin cancer. Because tradies often spend a large proportion of their working day outside, they can receive 5 to 10 times more UVR exposure each year than indoor workers. So its really important to practice sun safe behaviours every day.... Use the five sun safe behaviours, slip, slop, slap, seek and slide, to keep your skin protected, and download the Cancer Councils free SunSmart app to get a daily update on the UV Index and required sun protection times in your area. For more information please make an appointment to chat to our GPs about a skin cancer assessment, and for your tradie tips please contact us on 6117 0480 for an appointment.

18.01.2022 National Tradie Month Tip Eat for energy and nutrition Eating out for lunch or having a takeaway can be a quick fix for hunger, but the options at the local corner store or takeaway joint arent always the healthiest. Food and drinks like burgers, chips, sausage rolls and soft drinks can contain a lot of kilojoules (energy) but arent very nutritious. This means that your body doesnt get a lot of the nutrients it needs from these foods, but does get a lot of extra ener...gy that if not used, will be stored as fat. Help your body get the nutrients it needs by packing tasty and nutritious food and drink in your esky - like a healthy sandwich and an apple or banana. If you visit the local takeaway or fast food joint, look out for the kilojoules on the menu and select items that are lower in kilojoules (energy). Also, remember to hydrate on water rather than opting for a soft drink. A good tip is to freeze your water overnight, and then use it to keep your food cool and you hydrated during the day.

17.01.2022 Are you or a loved one living with a chronic condition, like asthma? It can be a life-long challenge, managing symptoms, avoiding triggers, and navigating various treatment plans and medications. However, it is manageable with a personalised Asthma Action Plan. Call the team on 6117 0480 to book in with a GP to talk more

16.01.2022 Breathing in and breathing out. Many of us take this simple action for granted yet for those that live with asthma, it can become a serious challenge that can severely limit a persons activities. National Asthma Awareness Week is on from the 1st to the 7th September 2020. What is Asthma? Asthma directly affects the lungs when certain triggers cause swelling and a narrowing of the airways. This restrictive feeling in the airways along with the mucus that is produced makes it hard to breathe. Asthmatic episodes can occur over a longer period of time or within minutes.

16.01.2022 Each year on 11 November, at 11am we pause for a minutes silence, as we remember those who have served, died and suffered in all wars and armed conflicts, and this year marks the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. Remembrance Day is an important time to remember the honourable Australian service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can enjoy our freedom today. We will remember them.... #remembranceday2020

15.01.2022 Symptoms of Asthma Include: wheezing continuing cough tightness of the chest... Short of breath Symptoms may be triggered early in the morning or in the evening, or after activity, yet if an asthma management plan is followed then this will minimise symptoms. Causes of Asthma The direct cause of asthma is still proving to be elusive though to some extent may be hereditary. Environmental factors such as tobacco smoke, weight gain can increase the chance of the onset of asthma.

05.01.2022 Held in June each year during Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, Red Apple Day is an awareness day for bowel cancer with a symbolic message. The red apple (Bowel Cancer Australias logo) is actually an abstract representation of a human colon and the small hole in the apple represents the worm (cancer). If detected early enough and removed, the worm is unable to continue affecting the health of the apple. The same is true for bowel cancer, which is preventable, treatable and beatable if detected in time.

05.01.2022 National Tradie Month Tip Think twice about alcohol and drugs While enjoying a drink at the end of the workday might be a tradition among your work crew, its important to think carefully before consuming alcohol or drugs.... Alcohol and drugs can impede your decision-making skills and ability to use your body properly. This means the effects of either could impact how well you can do your job, and make you dangerous to yourself and others when youre at work. The use of alcohol and drugs can also impact your overall well-being, relationships and activities outside of work.

05.01.2022 Perth tradies need to look after the most valuable part of their toolkit their health! The Australian Physiotherapy Association announces Tradies National Health Month for August 2020 MEDIA RELEASE This August 2020 during Tradies National Health Month physiotherapists at Lagoon Physiotherapy Beeliar are calling on tradies to take care of their most valuable asset their health. It comes as Aussie tradies continue to have some of the poorest health and injury out...comes compared to other workers. To promote Tradie month, Lagoon Physiotherapy Beeliar will be offering 20% off appointments to all tradies during the month of August 2020. According to the latest Safe Work Australia statistics*, our tradies make up less than one third (30 percent) of the Australian workforce yet account for almost three in five (58 per cent) serious workplace injuries. The Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) campaign aims to engage and empower tradies to maintain their health and wellbeing, and seek preventive treatment before small niggles become more serious chronic injuries. Most tradies assume a few aches and pains are part and parcel of their demanding physical work, but few seek regular preventive health checks which can significantly reduce common musculoskeletal conditions, including muscle/tendon injuries, knee, shoulder and back pain. APA physiotherapist Nathan Freemantle says it is important to remind tradies that their health and safety is a priority, and that their bodies are their most important tool. This Tradies National Health Month, were reminding tradies to look after all aspects of their health and wellbeing, Nathan Freemantle said. We want tradies, their families and employers to be proactive about managing and preventing a range of common injuries and health conditions. Physically demanding trade jobs can exacerbate conditions like heart disease and diabetes, but with the strong evidence-based treatments that physiotherapists employ, tradies can maintain their health and continue doing what they do best. * Safe Work Australia 2015-16 National Data Set for Compensation-based Statistics For more information about how physiotherapy can help keep tradies in top condition please contact: Lagoon Physiotherapy Beeliar Unit 1, Beeliar Hive Shopping Centre 283 Beeliar Drive, Yangebup WA 6164 08 6117 0480 Put yourself in our hands See more

03.01.2022 National Tradie Month Tip Dont skip exercise Because the work can be physical, many tradespeople get some incidental exercise each day as part of their job. But while you might feel strong or fit because of your work, its important to think about the types of exercise youre not getting during the day and activities that might benefit your body.... Stretching exercises, like yoga, can help relieve tension, improve flexibility and maintain range of motion, while cardio burns excess kilojoules and strengthens your heart and lungs. Improving your core strength can help reduce your risk of pain and injury at work. Take some time every day before or after work, or at a lunch time, to focus on a bit of bodily maintenance.
