Find wearing some towny air max on domestics helped with a heel problem and decent safety trainers like DeWalt sorted that on site work
- Damaging the rotator cuff, frozen shoulder and arthritis are all shoulder injuries that can be experienced by plasterers. Anything that’s a repetitive action is going to place stress on the shoulder
- A lot of injuries caused are when skimming ceilings, over time the joints start to wear when you twist and move in peculiar ways and the pressure is always on to get the ceiling finished
- Driving a long distance sitting in the same position and then moving suddenly and twisting as you begin plastering can cause injury
- With an ‘itus’ or inflammation it’s about resting it
- Plasterers can suffer from Plantar fasciitis because of incorrect footwear and being up and down ladders
- Plastering is a hard job, you need to keep fit and get into a routine of doing something every day
Have had back problems but getting into the gym 1-2 times a week and doin the exercises the physio has sorted that .... definitely going the gym helped
