Injuries Whilst Working

Injuries Whilst Working

How do you deal with it?

Do you tell your boss?
Do you work through the pain?
Do you fear losing your job from missing a show?

I’ve definitely pushed through pain and sickness when I should’ve rested — all because I didn’t want to let the team down… or risk losing my spot.

But here’s the truth:
That voice in your head telling you “you’re letting everyone down” isn’t real.

Most show directors or bosses actually understand — and they’d rather you take a few days off than risk a long-term injury.

Yes, if it’s just a small niggle or light sickness, you might manage.
But if it risks worsening or lasting damage… it’s time to stop.

Remember — your health is your career longevity.
A few days of rest now can save you months (or even years) later.
