🩹 FIRST AID IN THE WORKPLACE 🩹
Would you know what to do if a colleague or client suddenly became unwell or had an accident at work?
Having the right first aid knowledge and training can make a real difference when it matters most.
Today I refreshed my First Aid in the Workplace training — a great reminder that being prepared, staying calm and knowing what to do can help keep everyone safer. ❤️
From minor injuries to more serious emergencies, those first few minutes can be crucial.
First aid isn’t just a qualification — it’s a skill that could help save a life.
BePrepared

When your dog sitter falls through last minute, you swap Portugal for a full-on Cornish road trip! Kenny officially crashed the holiday, but we wouldn’t change a thing.The poor boy started the trip with a grass seed in his paw and spent the first 4 days wearing the ultimate accessory: the cone of shame. 🤦‍♀️ He was still living his absolute best life joining us for long coastal walks and exploring lovely Cornish villages.We based ourselves in Penryn (which we absolutely loved!) and Looe, exploring everywhere from St Ives all the way to Plymouth. We’ve eaten spectacular, fresh local fish pretty much every single day for the last week. 🐟🍷Kenny is currently flat out in the back of the car, completely exhausted from all the pub evenings and coastal air. I think he’ll be glad to get back to his normal routine, even if he did get a luxury UK staycation out of it! 🐕💤

Client came in with shoulder pain during overhead dumbbell lifts — with pain travelling from the shoulder down the arm.
That kind of referral can seem alarming, but it’s often a sign the shoulder isn’t moving or stabilising properly under load.
When that happens, muscles like the lats, pecs and triceps start overworking to compensate — and that’s when pain shows up and spreads.
I used the dry cups to help get deeper into the lats, tricep. We did overhead stretching to help fire up the muscle. Actually turns out the pec major was the culprit which we agreed needs strengthening. Overall a really successful treatment where the client had more range of motion & less pain in the shoulder & arm.

Change of venue to the School House Cafe - still a few spaces on this great local Pilates group
