AUGUST 2020

BUSINESS AS USUAL

Hello everyone!

How are you? First of all, we want to be in touch with everyone to say that we hope you and your families are all well.

For us its business as usual...with a few obvious precautions in place. 😷

As something to give back to the community, we are excited to announce our hand therapy FREE online seminars (webinars). These educational events will cover a number of commonly occurring hand therapy conditions.

August is also Tradies National Health Month. This initiative by the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) aims to raise awareness of the risks posed to those who work in trade occupations – among individuals, their families, employers and the wider community.

In this issue:
  • Free hand therapy online seminars
  • Tradies national health month
  • Blog: How cold weather affects your injury and pain
  • Essential service: business as usual – Our response to COVID-19

Stay safe, 

Karen and the team at Melbourne Hand Rehab

TRADIES NATIONAL HEALTH MONTH 
 
August is Tradies National Health Month. Research shows that 3 out of 5 serious workplace injuries involve tradies – and yet many tradies delay getting help. Unfortunately, a longer wait before getting treatment often leads to a longer period of rehabilitation and worse outcomes. If another tool in your toolkit was broken you wouldn’t hesitate to fix it, why wait with your health?
 
Your hands are the most valuable tool you’ve got, but unlike the rest of your toolkit, you’ve only got one set
 
At Melbourne Hand Rehab, we help tradies after injuries to their fingers, thumbs, hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders. Our priorities are to: 
  • Reduce your pain 
  • Increase your movement
  • Increase your strength
  • Return to work and your hobbies safely
  • Help you avoid re-injuring yourself
 
To promote Tradies National Health Month we will be running a series of videos on the common injuries we see and what we do to help on our Facebook page and posting a blog up on our website. If you or someone you know has an arm, wrist or hand injury, come check it out.
