A Sunshine Coast pilates instructor has started a pilates program to help tradies recover and rebuild their damaged bodies.
Research from the 2019 Tradies Health Survey reveals sixty percent of tradies often have aches and pains because of their job, and make up sixteen percent of Australians reporting back pain.
Gaby Shadforth said the pilates class is not exclusive to tradies but is more a class to educate men on how to do something about their pain in a comfortable setting and says it is also great social interaction to keep them mentally healthy too.
