Whether they are building our houses or fixing our bathrooms, the trades men and women of Australia are keeping us going. However with trades often being labour intensive work our tradies need to put their health first. August is Tradies National Health Month which aims to raise awareness of the risks that come with working in a physically demanding role.

The Daily was joined by Paul Monaro, a member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association from Concord Sport and Spine Physiotherapy to talk about injuries and health concerns that arise from working in physically intense jobs.
