Column: Physio Talk - SURVIVING SPRING
We loved the daffodils and the new shoots on the trees and the frisky lambs in the fields. Undeniably, there is something magical about this time of year.
However, unfortunately at Physique we also tend to see a big jump in people injuring themselves during this time of year. When I first moved to Tamborine Mountain 15 years ago I assumed that people up here worked in the garden the same as everywhere else in the world. I couldn’t understand how someone would have such a massive flare up of their shoulder or back pain from doing “just a bit of gardening” on the weekend.
It wasn’t until I delved deeper and asked some further questions that I realised “just a bit gardening” on Tamborine Mountain meant building a rock retaining wall, or moving three cubic metres of red soil, or mulching the entire western slope on a one acre block.
Man, you gardeners sure do know how to make your gardens beautiful up here. Unfortunately, a lot of you also end up injuring yourselves in the process.
