As the title states, has anyone found this job and quite repetitive activities cause any health conditions/physical ailments over the years? How did you prevent / manage it?
I’m high volume and over the years find that I’ve got less energy, get tired easier and not have the stamina for more “strenuous activity”.
Experienced shooting sharp paralysing lower back pain every now and then, to a point when my lower back is now chronically sore. Very worried about this and believe this developed as a result. Hand and knee pain too. I’m early 30s, started mid 20s.
I'm also high volume. I prefer it. Most of my bookings are regulars and I concentrate on men who are quick. Very quick in a lot of cases. Guys who are slow I find much more tiring and I don't encourage them. If I had successions of hour long bookings I would feel more tired, and have done.
The activity itself does increase fitness in certain areas, but I find that it's better to also have some exercise away from this. I have a bicycle which I use most fine days at some point, and also found rowing is good too, as well as swimming.
