Modelling related injuries?

Here in the U.S. I wonder if it's a case of which came first: the chicken or the egg? Modeling, as such, is a very sedentary hobby, and is by and large populated by guys who are at an age when the metabolism has dropped and is dropping.

Walking, running, etc. are in order here.

I imagine the most common modellers' injury is invisible. I have a friend and colleague who is a psychiatrist and she used to annoy me endlessly with requests to come to a model club meeting. I told her to go and find patients somewhere else.
James - get yourself checked out just in case.

Mate, I would get myself checked if there was a doctor within cooee that I could have some faith in. The doctors here are poorly trained and routinely prescribe the same treatment for almost any symptom or condition you could imagine: a few days in hospital on a saline drip with a regular cocktail of paracetamol and amoxycillin. Go placebo, you good thing!!!

There are good doctors in Thailand (and some bad ones) but I won't have a chance to get over there in the near future; my passport is in Vientiane having my long-stay visa renewed. And the Thai government recently shifted the goalposts and made it a lot more difficult to make a quick trip across the border for shopping, medical attention, etc.

But I'll be having my usual full checkup on my next trip back to Oz.
